He discovered his talents at an early age and quit high school to focus on his music. He was hired to Pantera when he was only 19 in 1987, and they achieved great success. Pantera released their 7th album Far Beyond Driven in 1994, and it debuted at No. 1 in the United States. He showed his talents in the thrash metal genre and later founded and evolved groove metal with the band. In 2003, Pantera disbanded over communication problems and accusations that Anselmo had neglected the band.
In July 2022, it was announced that Anselmo would be joining bassist Rex Brown, along with Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante (as the respective fill-ins for Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul), for Pantera’s first world tour in 22 years in 2023.
