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.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
