Over the past two decades, not all original members have endured. In 2004, guitarist Dimebag Darrell was shot and died. In 2018, his brother Vinnie Paul died of heart disease. More than 20 years after their last concert, the surviving members of one of heavy metal’s most popular bands will return to the road as early as next year.

They were one of the most acclaimed bands of this musical genre and became popular with the release of “Cowboys From Hell” in 1990. And with their defiant attitude and outlawed style, they inspired a new generation of metalheads. In short, Pantera were the perfect band for the Nineties.
