To counter the comment made on Pantera directly contributing to the rise of nu-metal, I wouldn't say they had as much influence as say Korn, who basically invented the genre at the same time Pantera became successful. Also, from the groove metal camp, I'd say Machine Head was way more influential when it came to nu-metal and even made some nu metal records towards the late 90's. Glad to see they returned to form with The Blackening though.
