The fully authorised book features images by Ross Halfin
Rufus Publications has unveiled a new, fully authorized coffee table book from legendary rock photographer Ross Haflin.
Over the last few years, Haflin has had unrestricted access to the band on tour, backstage, days off, and of course, playing killer shows. This new, fully authorized book captures the current lineup in all its glory, and Ross has also delved into his extensive Pantera archive featuring stunning photographs of the original four, including late guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott and drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, to produce a unique and often never-before-seen look at one of the world’s most legendary metal bands. This is Pantera in the raw.
This huge, A3 portrait coffee table book, with more than 300 pages, allows the images to breathe uniquely, and the edition comes in a distinctive, diamond plate style embossed slipcase. Only 666 numbered copies of the book are being made available, and each copy is hand-signed by the band’s current touring lineup of frontman Philip Anselmo, bassist Rex Brown, drummer Charlie Benante, and guitarist Zakk Wylde.
Presales start tomorrow (Thurs, Dec 4th) at 3 pm UK time, with shipping expected to begin in spring 2026. It sells for £250 plus worldwide delivery.
Pantera is one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time. The lineup of Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul recorded a series of groundbreaking albums before the band’s 1994 album, Far Beyond Driven, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, pushing Pantera to sell more than 25 million albums worldwide! In 2022, Billboard reported that Brown and Anselmo were reuniting in 2023 for Pantera’s first major tour in 22 years. The updated lineup of Pantera played their first shows in 21 years in Latin America and has continued to tour the world.
