Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that PANTERA's metal masterpiece "The Great Southern Trendkill" will be available next week in the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and Wii.

With more than 400 artists, including JIMI HENDRIX, THE WHO, AC/DC and GREEN DAY, who are exclusive to Rock Band, as well as more than 1,200 songs available through the Rock Band platform and 65 million songs sold through its download store alone, Rock Band is the undisputed sales and content leader in the interactive music space, providing the deepest and best selection of artists, songs and albums.

Heavy rock legends PANTERA are making their Rock Band debut next week in a big way, by bringing fan-favorite album, "The Great Southern Trendkill", to the Rock Band Music Library.

"The Great Southern Trendkill" was released in 1996, as the band's eighth studio album, reached No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 and was declared platinum in August 2004.

Additionally, former PANTERA drummer Vinnie Paul is set to release an album called "Stampede" from HELLYEAH, his collaboration with members of MUDVAYNE, DAMAGEPLAN and NOTHINGFACE, in July.
