The story of Pantera has it's share of triumphs and tragedy. Along with the great success of the band musically, more than 6 million albums sold in the United States alone, the band have suffered great loss.

On December 8, 2004, in Columbus, Ohio, guitarist Dimebag Darrel was shot and killed while performing on stage with his band Damageplan. In 2018 Dimebag's brother and Pantera bandmate Vinnie Paul died of heart failure.
