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. Pantera formed in Texas in 1981 and has been named to VH1s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and MTVs Top 10 Greatest Heavy Metal Bands of All Time, and has sold more than 8 million albums in the United States. The Great Southern Trendkill was released in 1996, as the bands eighth studio album, reached No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 and was declared platinum in August 2004. Floods, featured on The Great Southern Trendkill, contains a guitar solo that Guitar World voted its 15th Greatest Guitar Solo of All-Time.
Pantera released a greatest hits collection in March 2010, titled 1990-2000: A Decade of Domination, which is available exclusively at Walmart and contains 10 remastered tracks. 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.
