planning to record new material

When asked in November 2022 by Bravewords.com if Pantera was planning to record new material, Benante said, “Oh man, who knows? Creatively, if we are just flowing and getting going, and things are starting to be really good, musically speaking, you never know what could happen. I’ve got tons of riffs.” Sterling Winfield (who produced Reinventing the Steel ) stated he would not “feel comfortable calling it Pantera”, but added that the new lineup “could make some very badass music”. He said, “I will say that it is entirely plausible, it is entirely possible, but at this point in time, I don’t know that anybody’s looking that far down the road. They’ve got a world tour to tackle, man, for the next two years, and they are gonna be busy doing that. Now, could it happen? Yes.” Wylde has also expressed interest in recording new music with Anselmo, Brown and Benante, but not as Pantera “unless it was just pre-existing material and [they] were gonna record it — stuff that was in demo state or whatever, and it is songs that the guys wrote.” According to Benante, there has been talk of the band releasing a live album from the reunion tour. In an interview in Australia, bassist Rex Brown hinted that Pantera will be releasing new music at some point in the future (which would be their first new material released since 2000), saying: “Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I could tell you more but I’m not going to.”
