Pantera are one of the very few bands whose power and influence has remained legendary for decades. As Pantera consistently remain one of the most discussed bands in metal history, the subject of a partial reunion comes up fairly regularly. However, the question remains — who would fill the spot of the late, great “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott?

It's been a crazy couple of months here at 99X. Between attacking bands and having them attack us, we've had some pretty killer shows... X-Fest 2012 featuring Staind and Halestorm, Crowbar, Prong, Shadows Fall, Shinedown, Art of Dying ect. have all come to town in the past month or so and kicked our asses...

We’ve got good news if you’re a patient fan of blood and guts films, and bad news if you’re not. Philip Anselmo, a renowned horror hound who absolutely loves that film genre, will launch his first-ever Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin, Texas. However, the festival, named after the singer’s label, is scheduled for October 2013.

A metalhead’s work is never done. The always-prolific Phil Anselmo, who always seems to have several irons in the metal fire, is working hard on some brand new solo material. The former Pantera singer, who has also recently been laying down tracks on a Down EP, is working with a band on this other project, according to his boarder Mike Williams of Eyehategod fame.

Chances are, if you listen to this radio station, you're familiar with DOWN.  One of my favorite bands - and one I don't get to see nearly enough.
