REX BROWN On Coming PANTERA Shows: "This Is Gonna Be One Hell Of A Ride"

We've been talking about it for months, but the first Pantera show kicks off on December 2 at the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Texicoco, Mexico. Pantera bassist Rex Brown seems pretty stoked about how things are sounding prior to their debut show with their current lineup, offering the following on his Instagram: "Get ready folks, this is gonna be one Hell of a Ride…And then some!! This was the start of the ZW sessions that grew into a Monster…5 days ‘til Mexico City!! Bolt in….."

Pantera's live dates are as follows. The upcoming Pantera shows feature vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown alongside Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde (assisted by Dimebag's guitar technician Grady Champion) and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante (who posted the first rehearsal photos of the band yesterday).
