Pantera -Biography II


 Part 2

1993- Pantera's first headliner tour of the UK begins.
Pantera releases its second full length home video,
titled VULGAR VIDEO. Band members prepare to record the
new album. VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER turns gold; the
first Pantera album to do so.

1994- After the tour, Pantera records their new album

in 6 weeks, titled FAR BEYOND DRIVEN. "It's fucking heavy!"
quotes Philip. In March, FAR BEYOND DRIVEN is released
debuting at No. 1 on the Australian and U.S. album
charts simultaneously. The world tour begins.

1996- Due to the musical climate not being conducive to

heavy music, Pantera went against the grain and made the
fuckin heaviest record ever in 1996, titled THE GREAT
SOUTHERN TRENDKILL. "Heavy music is alive and
well, Pantera moves on forward unscarred and unaffected
by the trends."

1997- Pantera releases a live album titled OFFICIAL LIVE:

101 PROOF. Members of the band personally picked live
songs which they felt represented the band best and
added two new studio recordings to the mix.
Pantera also releases their third home video titled 3:
WATCH IT GO!!! The video includes over 2 hours of music
videos, concert footage, band and crew members, everything!
1999- Pantera makes many tours with countless bands. The

band also releases a DVD titled 3 VULGAR VIDEOS FROM HELL.
It contains all 3 full-length home videos plus bonus
footage from the Monsters of Rock show in Moscow. The
much awaited 10th album is delayed until early 2000.

2000- Pantera's long-awaited tenth album, titled

REINVENTING THE STEEL, is released on March 21,
debuting at #4 on the US Billboard charts. The band
then starts their international tour on April 17 in
Europe, then tour the US in the fall as part of the Ozzfest tour.
