Pantera was formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (drums) and Dimebag Darrell (guitar) in 1981. Rex Brown (bass) and Terry Glaze (vocals) would join in late 1981. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera replaced Terry in 1987 with Phil Anselmo. They originally started as a glam metal band, but switched to a much heavier sound when they released Cowboys from Hell in 1990.
