Phil Anselmo Biography

Phil Anselmo is one of the most popular and richest Metal Singer who was born on June 30, 1968 in New Orleans, United States. Singer for the heavy metal band Pantera and for the Louisiana-based band Down. He owns Housecore Records.

He was in Pantera with Dimebag Darrell.

While a teenager, Anselmo joined the band Samhain (not to be confused with Glenn Danzig’s band Samhain). From the early to mid-1980s, Anselmo was a member of the band Razor White. While they did have some original material, they played mainly Judas Priest covers.

Pantera released three albums via Metal Magic Records, but did not garner much attention, because the band wasn’t signed with a major label record at the time, especially with Terry Glaze at vocals. Seeking a new frontman to continue down a heavier path, Glaze, who was primarily a glam metal vocalist, left the band. In 1987, after several meetings, the 19-year old Anselmo was officially added to the Pantera lineup. The band was so impressed with Anselmo, that they re-recorded some of Glaze’s vocals for their latest release. Anselmo relocated to Texas to record Pantera’s fourth album, Power Metal, which was released in 1988. Following the release of Power Metal, the band dropped its glam image and adopted a more casual look. In 1990, Pantera released their fifth album, Cowboys from Hell, which paved the way towards the band’s stardom. As a tour unfolded to promote the band’s latest album, there was documented portions of this tour on their first home video, Cowboys from Hell: The Videos, released in 1991.

He was married to Stephanie Opal Weinstein from 2001 to 2004. Then, in 2004, he began a relationship with Kate Richardson.
