Watch: PANTERA Members Talk About New, Fully Authorized Photo Book From ROSS HALFIN

Rufus Publications has announced the fully authorized "Pantera", a brand new coffee table book from Ross Halfin, is shipping now and can be ordered at this location. Watch a new video of the band talking about the book below.

Over the last few years Ross has had unrestricted access to the band on tour, backstage, days off and, of course, playing killer shows. This new, fully authorized book captures the current lineup in all its glory and Ross has also delved into his extensive PANTERA archive featuring stunning photographs of the original four including "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott, to produce a unique and often never-before-seen look at one of world’s most legendary metal bands. This is PANTERA in the raw.

This huge, A3 portrait coffee table book, with more than 300 pages, allows the images to breathe in a unique way and the edition comes in a distinctive, diamond plate style embossed slipcase. Only 666 numbered copies of the book are being made available and each copy is hand signed by PANTERA's current touring lineup of Philip Anselmo (vocals),Charlie Benante (drums),Rex Brown (bass) and Zakk Wylde (guitar).

PANTERA is one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time. The lineup of Philip Anselmo, Rex Brown, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul recorded a series of ground-breaking albums before the band's 1994 LP, "Far Beyond Driven", debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, pushing PANTERA to sell more than 25 million albums worldwide! In 2022, Billboard reported that Brown and Anselmo were reuniting for PANTERA's first major tour in 22 years. The updated lineup of PANTERA played its first shows in 21 years in Latin America at the end of 2022 and has continued to tour the world.

Up until his passing in June 2018, Vinnie remained on non-speaking terms with Anselmo, whom the drummer indirectly blamed for Dimebag's death.

Vinnie Paul and Dimebag co-founded PANTERA. On December 8, 2004, while performing with DAMAGEPLAN at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, Dimebag was shot and killed onstage by a troubled schizophrenic who believed that the members of PANTERA were stealing his thoughts.

Vinnie, who was Dimebag's brother, and Anselmo had not spoken since PANTERA split in 2003. But the relationship got even more acrimonious when Vinnie suggested that some remarks the vocalist had made about Dimebag in print just weeks earlier might have incited Dimebag's killer.
