Pantera formally reunited (reactivated, reformed as a celebratory factor – no matter you wanna name it) in 2022. The band’s lineup contains basic Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown alongside guitarist Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) and drummer Charlie Benante (Anthrax).
After all alongside the quite a few Pantera exhibits come the query of potential new music. In an interview with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Wylde stated he is down so long as it is not beneath the Pantera identify.
“I feel you would need to name it one thing else,” stated Wylde. “You already know what I imply? Pantera is these 4 guys. So, yeah, you’ll be able to’t substitute that.”
He added: “Yeah. If that was ever a bridge we crossed, we might have to attend till we get there. However proper now, it is simply the 4 of us celebrating what the [the classic Pantera] created.”
Wylde then clarified his stance, saying he is all the way down to make music with Anselmo, Brown, and Benante. Simply not as Pantera… until it was stuff that was already written when Dimebag and Vinnie Paul had been nonetheless alive. Then evidently the Pantera identify is a go.
“I imply, how might you name it Pantera until it was simply pre-existing materials and we had been gonna file it — stuff that was in demo state or no matter, and it’s songs that the fellows wrote,” he stated. “However so far as new songs, it must be — you’d name it one thing else.”
