The mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the United States, wore a Pantera sweater at a ceremony where he signed a new law for the city.
Tim Keller, a heavy metal fan, wore his sweater while signing the new paternity leave law last Thursday, 27. During a recent New York Times interview, Keller said the city has always been a big fan of the genre: “What I can say is something I have enjoyed for a long time. ”
In a tweet celebrating the law, Keller thanked Pantera’s bassist Rex Brown for his sweater while the musician shared the news about the ceremony on his social networks.
Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas. The group was formed in 1981 by the Abbott brothers – drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell – along with lead vocalist Terry Glaze. Bassist Rex Brown joined the band the following year, replacing Tommy D. Bradford, who was the unofficial original. Having started as a glam metal band, Pantera released four albums during the 1980s.
Looking for a new and heavier sound, Pantera replaced Glaze with Phil Anselmo in late 1986 and released Power Metal in 1988. With its fifth album, 1990’s Cowboys from Hell, Pantera introduced a groove metal sound. Pantera’s sixth album, 1992’s Vulgar Display of Power, exhibited an even heavier sound. Far Beyond Driven (1994) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
