So I'ven a metalhead for a very long time, I listen to thrash, symphonic, melodic death, etc. But I've never been able to find a band quite like pantera, so heavy but not like those extreme metal genres. Also I found thrash very repetitive now. Can you recomend me a band that has the same sound? (Not just any groove metal band)
I already know Lamb of God, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Exhorder and Damageplan

Machine Head-Burn My Eyes is a good album, and Crowbars self titled, it was even produced by Phil Anselmo

Try Code Orange or the most recent Gojira album.
Shit metal.

There isn't one. Pantera solved Metal.

nice meme
Try Slipknot, they are very loud and brutal and they make my head bang all day all night
Anal cunt
check out Chimaira, they are a little heavier but have a similar style to pantera.

Most other groove metal bands are shit unfortunately. Check Corrosion of Conformity though, or maybe early Mastodon if you're cool with slightly proggier stuff

There was a moment in the early 90s when there was a kind of area of metal that was heavy in a post-thrash way like Pantera but not thrash or death. Mostly groove metal. Which quickly gave way to nu-metal later after that early 90s whole vibe and era was replaced.
Prong, Sepultura, Biohazard, later Suicidal Tendencies, Body Count. I'd throw in tweaker-core like White Zombie into that era. And a different thing but Danzig were a part of that moment too.

I guess you could throw Metallica's Black Album and Anthrax's Sound of White Noise into that moment too. A slower, riff-y post-thrash thing that was pretty radio friendly, that was 'realer' and less hair-spray-y and tweaker-ier than Hair Metal, but still technically 'real metal', right before Grunge changed the radio format, and before 'fake' nu-metal was to come along a little later. And shortly before Metallica did Load.

And another way to look at it is the sound a lot of the big thrash bands themselves had in their more mid-tempo radio crossovers in the early 90s, and the bands that opened for them around this era.

Maybe you should try something less heavy, like Cannibal Corpse or Dying Fetus. Don't let the clean vocals scare you away tho, it should be a refreshing experience after those harsh Pantera vocals. Sit back, relax with an iced tea (however Arizona brand is the only true metalhead tea), and enjoy Choking On Broken Glass on the album, The Bleeding
