In 1983 band Pantera was formed by founding members Diamond Darrel, brother Vinnie and Rex. Same year they released their independent album titled "Metal Magic". One year after that they released their second album - Projects In The Jungle. Their third album - I Am The Night - was released in 1985, three years before their last independant album - Power Metal. Through the release of first 3 succesfull independant albums the band became progresively heavier and to complete their direction added Phillip Anselmo. With him band recorded their most succesful independant album - Power Metal. That album was combined with their incredible live shows, gained Pantera a large underground following worldwide.
At the start of the career the style of Pantera’s image and sound was heavily influenced by bands like KISS & Van Halen. At certain stages, Pantera drew more on the popular LA glam scene. The extent to how far Pantera took the glam image is one of many disputes among fans of heavy metal and those who discredit the band’s popularity to the 90s; however most of the material on the albums themselves were a contrast to typical glam metal formula. They released three albums during this stage before acquiring Razor White vocalist, Philip Anselmo from New Orleans. As soon as Anselmo joined the band the group took a noticable change in style and image with their Power Metal. The album shifted away from most of the glam image and focused mostly on the more respectable speed metal genre. This style would continue evolving for two years as Pantera drew on many more sources of influence within the metal scene.
