Pantera

Spotted jungle predator

Pantera is an American heavy metal band formed in Texas in 1981, known for pioneering groove metal with albums like *Vulgar Display of Power* and *Cowboys from Hell*.

The band's aggressive sound and Dimebag Darrell's guitar work made them influential in 1990s metal: Pantera changed how I think about heavy riffs.
