He made his studio debut with the band on their record Power Metal, and at the time of this writing, his latest record with Pantera is 2000’s Reinventing the Steel.

- 6. Power Metal
5. Cowboys From Hell
4. Vulgar Display of Power
3. The Great Southern Trendkill
2. Far Beyond Driven

Last year, The Pit put together a ranking of Pantera’s albums from worst to best. Below are some thoughts regarding Reinventing the Steel, but if you want to see where that record is ranked, follow the link below to view the full feature.
“The last Pantera album was released in 2000, and while it features the band’s thrilling instrumentation, it lacks the creativity and excitement that previous Pantera albums provide. There are some amazing bangers on here of course, but as a whole experience, Reinventing the Steel is missing a level of aggression and intricate technicality that sounded fresher in previous releases.”
