Pantera is a groove metal band from Arlington, Texas, USA. Formed in 1981 by brothers Vinnie Paul Abbott and Dimebag Darrell, along with Terry Glaze, Donny Hart, and Tommy Bradford. With multiple lineup changes throughout the years, Pantera released four albums in the 80s before achieving commercial success with their debut album "Cowboys from Hell" in 1990. The band went on to release two highly successful albums before splitting up in 2003 due to conflicts with vocalist Phil Anselmo. Tragically, Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed onstage in 2004.
In 2018, Vinnie Paul Abbott passed away. However, surviving members Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo announced a reunion tour for 2023 with session musicians Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante joining them.
Current members include Rex Brown on bass and backing vocals since 1982 (with a break from 2003-2022) and Phil Anselmo on lead vocals since 1986 (also with a break from 2003-2022). Former members include Dimebag Darrell on guitar until his death in 2004 and Vinnie Paul on drums until his passing in 2018.

Elektra Records is a US label that was founded by Jac Holzman in December 1950 in New York City. Originally focused on recording folk music, ethnic music, jazz, and gospel, Elektra later expanded its repertoire to include blues, pop, and rock music. Over the years, Elektra had great success with artists like *The Doors*, *Judy Collins*, *Tim Buckley*, and *Bread*. In order to adapt to the changing record industry landscape, Elektra merged with other labels such as Asylum Records and Atlantic to become The Atlantic Records Group under Warner Music Group.

In addition to its own success as a label, Elektra also started Nonesuch as a sub-label for affordable classical releases. Today, Nonesuch is an affiliated label of Warner Bros. Records.

Throughout its history, Elektra has had various logo designs on its album covers. From the scripted logo in green or brown print on a tan background during the early years to the iconic butterfly labels in the 1970s and beyond. These distinctive logos have become synonymous with quality music from artists signed to Elektra.
