Pantera is one of the confirmed acts at Knotfest Brasil, which takes place in December of this yearin São Paulo. The band's tribute reunion features the two remaining members – Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown – and is causing a lot of controversy, which is discussed on the Wikimetal.
In episode #349, Erica Roumieh (editor-in-chief), Daniel Dystyler (co-founder of the site), and Larissa Catharine Oliveira (writer) got together to share their personal views on the decision to create this tribute, which is being called a Pantera reunion, the deplorable case of Phil Anselmo's Nazi salute and white supremacist chant a few years ago, the opinions of those who follow the site, and more.
