Former Pantera and Down bassist Rex Brown will release his solo debut album next year, he’s revealed.
He’ll be heard singing and playing guitar and bass on tracks inspired by his love of 1970s music.
And he says the project came about after he began to feel burnt out by life on the road.
Brown tells Metal Hammer: “I had to get off that bus after 25 years or more. I reached a point where I wanted to take some time off, watch my kids grow, be at home and just find out what the next journey is.
“I went to Nashville last summer, and I have this good friend who sits in his bedroom and writes incredible stuff. I’d found this tape with about 80 different riffs, so we started piecing together these songs. I’ve been going back and forth to Nashville from maybe last September. I think the longest I was there was 11 days, getting a feel for the band.
“I’m enjoying playing music again – and that took a while.”

Warwick is proud to welcome one of the most influential bassists of all time, Rex Brown, into the Warwick family. Through his work with Pantera, Rex introduced the world to groove metal and has had an influence on every metal band since. Although Rex is most known for his work with Pantera, he has been active in other bands such as Kill Devil Hill and Down and can be seen on multiple recordings. Rex plays the WA 600 Amp Heads combined with Warwick 8×10” Cabinets and uses Warwick Masterbuilt Custom Shop Basses. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Rex.

If you’re in a band with Dimebag Darrell and you want your performance to be noticed, you better bring your A-game.
For over two decades, Rex Brown stood by Dime’s side and became a crucial element of Pantera’s bone-crushing rhythm section, managing to find his role in the mix alongside Dimebag’s massive tone and Vinnie Paul’s relentless drumming.

Pantera, Philip H Anselmo, Rex Brown
Philip interviewed at Download Festival, videos of Rex and Philip joining each others bands to do Pantera songs.
Jun
Philip talks about himself keeping festival concerts unique with “blasts from the past”, and how he hates rock stars. Philip also touches on heavy metal genres and sub-genres, and how the headlining power of festivals could be safe in the hands of surprising new bands or quite possibly reunions of older more established bands.
Here Philip talks about it being the 20th anniversary of his first appearance at Donnington, the history of the Download Festival, playing with Rex again, playing Pantera songs for the youth of today, the state of heavy metal in 2014, and much more.
Rex joins Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals onstage at Download Festival 2014 for the Pantera classic “A New Level”.
Here, Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals do their versions of Death Rattle, Domination/Hollow,
