Zakk Wylde Open To Recording New Music With His Pantera Bandmates Under A Different Name

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” current Pantera guitarist Zakk Wylde was asked about the possibility of new music from the band. He responded by saying he would only record new material with the group if it was done under a different name.

Wylde said the following:

“No. I think you would have to call it something else. You know what I mean? Pantera is those four guys. So, yeah, you can’t replace that.”

He continued when asked about using a different name

“Yeah. If that was ever a bridge we crossed, we’d have to wait until we get there. But right now, it’s just the four of us celebrating what the fellas [from the classic lineup] created.”

He also added:

“I mean, how could you call it Pantera unless it was just pre-existing material and we were gonna record it — stuff that was in demo state or whatever, and it is songs that the guys wrote. But as far as new songs, it would have to be — you’d call it something else.”
