Projects in the Jungle was also released on the band's independent Metal Magic Records label and produced by Jerry Abbott. In addition, a music video for the album's lead track, 'All Over Tonight', was eventually created. Another change was Terry Glaze's name, as he was henceforth credited as 'Terrence Lee'. Although still very much a glam metal album, the band members crafted songs that had less overbearing melodic influences than songs from the previous album. In 1984, Pantera released their second studio album, Projects in the Jungle. Metal Magic was released on the band's record label of the same name and produced by the Abbott brothers' father, Jerry Abbott (referred to as 'The Eldn'), at Pantego Studios. Pantera released their first studio album, Metal Magic, in 1983. The band began supporting fellow heavy metal/ glam metal acts such as Stryper, Dokken, and Quiet Riot. 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 Rex Rocker) on bass. Later, Glaze stopped playing rhythm guitar, leaving Darrell as the sole guitarist, doing both lead and rhythm duties. In 1982, Hart left the band and Glaze became the group's lead vocalist. The band was originally named Gemini, then Eternity, before finally settling on Pantera and consisted of Vinnie Paul Abbott on drums, Darrell Abbott on lead guitar, and Terry Glaze on rhythm guitar the line-up was completed with two more unofficial members, lead vocalist Donny Hart and bassist Tommy D.

Vinnie Paul went on to form Hellyeah after his brother's death, and died of heart failure in 2018, leaving Brown and Anselmo as the only surviving members of the band's best-known lineup. On December 8, 2004, Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed on stage by a mentally unstable fan during a Damageplan concert in Columbus, Ohio. The Abbott brothers went on to form Damageplan while Anselmo continued to work on several side projects, including Down, which Brown joined as well. Pantera went on hiatus in 2001 but was disbanded by the Abbott brothers in 2003 amid communication problems and their conclusion that Anselmo would not return to the band. The ongoing tension lasted for another seven years, during which only one studio album, Reinventing the Steel (2000), was recorded. These tensions resulted in the recording sessions for The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) being held separately. Tensions began to surface among the band members when Anselmo became addicted to heroin in 1995 he almost died from an overdose in 1996. Far Beyond Driven (1994) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Their fifth album, 1990's Cowboys from Hell, popularized the groove metal genre, while its 1992 follow-up Vulgar Display of Power achieved an even heavier sound. They secured a record deal with major label Atco the following year. Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera hired Anselmo in 1987 and released Power Metal in 1988. Having started as a glam metal band, Pantera released three albums in the mid-1980s with lead vocalist Terry Glaze ( Metal Magic, Projects in the Jungle, and I Am the Night). Pantera is regarded as one of the most successful and influential bands in heavy metal history, having sold around 20 million records worldwide and having received four Grammy nominations. In addition to their development and popularization of the groove metal subgenre, Pantera is credited (along with others, such as Testament, Sepultura and Machine Head) for being part of the second wave of thrash metal scene from the late 1980s to early-to-mid 1990s. The group's best-known lineup consisted of the Abbott brothers (drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell), along with vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown. Pantera ( / p Г¦ n Л€ t Й›r Й™/) was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed in 1981.
