Pantera became an underground favorite, though its regional tours in this era never took them beyond Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Later that year Bradford also departed and was replaced by Rex Brown (then known as Rexx Rocker). Hart left the band because he did not agree with the bands' ethics and Glaze became the group's vocalist, leaving Darrell as the sole guitarist. They were influenced by the early 80's British Metal invasion bands Judas Priest,Iron Maiden,Def Leppard in their sound and choice of stage wear. Although it has been stated in many time in print Pantera was NEVER a glam band. In 1982, the band was renamed Pantera in order to shorten the name and to settle an agreement between all band members. The band was originally named Pantera's Metal Magic and consisted of Vinnie Paul Abbott on drums, Dimebag Darrell Abbott (called Diamond Darrell at that time) on guitar, Donnie Hart on vocals, Terry Glaze on guitar, and Tommy Bradford on bass.

The Abbott brothers disbanded Pantera in 2003 and subsequently formed Damageplan. The ongoing tensions lasted for another seven years, in which only one studio album, Reinventing the Steel was released. This resulted in the recording sessions for The Great Southern Trendkill to be held separately. Tensions began to surface amongst the band members when Phil Anselmo became addicted to heroin in 1995. Their second album Vulgar Display of Power, released in 1992, revealed a heavier sound than Cowboys from Hell and their 1994 release of Far Beyond Driven debuted at No.1 in the Billboard 200. Starting as a glam metal band, Pantera played a heavier groove and thrash sound when they released Cowboys from Hell in 1990. Pantera has sold around 20 million albums. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera had Terry replaced in 1987 with Phil Anselmo as the new vocalist. Formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul ( drums) and Dimebag Darrell ( guitar) in 1981, bassist Rex Brown would join in late 1981 with vocalist Terry Glaze. Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas.
