Reinventing the Steel is the ninth and final studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on March 21, 2000, March 27 in the UK and April 5 in Japan, through Elektra Records and East West Records. This was the last studio album Pantera released before their 19 year breakup from November 2003 to July 2022. Further, it is the band's final album to feature the Abbott brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul before their deaths in 2004 and 2018, respectively. The album was released at a time of intense strife for the band, especially as Phil Anselmo's heroin addiction escalated into a near-fatal overdose in 1996. After the release of this album, the band would fracture and eventually split due to these tensions and Anselmo's pursuance of side projects. Reinventing the Steel received positive reviews, although critically and commercially, it was not as successful as their previous albums, becoming Pantera's only major label album to not be certified platinum.
