Terrence Lee Glaze (Born November 29, 1964) is an American singer and guitarist who is best known for his early work with the heavy metal band Pantera.
Pantera:
Born in Columbus, Ohio and raised in Texas, Glaze was the frontman of Pantera from 1982 to '87 although he was originally a part of the band as a second guitarist in 1981, when Pantera was still fronted by their very first lead singer, Donnie Hart. Glaze took over for vocals in 1982 when Donnie quit the band, while also contributing some additional guitar parts on a few of the band's songs. His vocal range caught the attention of many record label A&Rs and was given credit for bringing Pantera to the forefront of heavy metal music, but a dispute in the band's direction led to Glaze's departure.
Post- Pantera:
In 1986, Glaze joined three rock musicians from Tennessee to form the band Lord Tracy, releasing one LP in 1989 called "Deaf Gods Of Babylon" through Uni Records. The band broke up in 1991 and Glaze formed another band, Blowphish, which included Mike Malinin from the Goo Goo Dolls. When Blowphish failed to land a major record deal, Glaze relocated to Prince George's County, Maryland, where he plays locally with his party band The Crayfish, and occasionally gets together with other local musicians.
In May 2006, Glaze appeared throughout VH1's Behind the Music: Pantera. Notable moments include him talking about Dimebag Darrell being buried with the famous guitar of Eddie Van Halen, used around the Van Halen II era.
In April 2010, Rex Brown invited Glaze onstage during an Arms of the Sun gig in Dallas to perform a couple of old Pantera tracks, "All Over Tonight" and "Come-On Eyes". It was the first time since 1986 that Glaze had played with an ex- Pantera bandmate.
Glaze currently lives in Bowie, Maryland with his wife, NASA scientist Lori Glaze and their two daughters.
