Editorial Review:
Even those who scoff at the idea that rock & roll is the devil's music have to think twice when listening to Pantera. The pill-popping, strip-bar-ogling, beer-guzzling Texas combo takes Metallica's speed-metal cues to new heights of brutality and sacrilege. Fortunately, they're extremely good at what they do. The polyrhythmic complexity of Vinnie Paul's drumming in "Psycho Holiday" and guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell's breathtaking solo in "Heresy" are examples of state-of-the-art metal musicianship. Vocalist Phil Anselmo often sounds like Metallica's James Hetfield, but his brooding croon on "Cemetery Gates" and his falsetto screams on the blindingly fast "Shattered" are more like vintage Deep Purple. Released in 1990, Cowboys made Pantera one of metal's top draws during an era in which it was almost eclipsed by alternative rock. --James Rotondi

Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell" is one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of metal. When you look back at all the bands influenced by this album between 1990 and now, it's pretty amazing. But, influence aside, this album is just generally awesome.
We got Phil Anselmo on lead vocals, who can go from a deep, distorted growl to a high-pitched wailer of a note! Vinnie Paul is definitely an impressive drummer who adds some great fills and rhythms to the songs. Rex Brown mostly ... Read More
Rating: - One of the most influential bands ever.
Thrash was declared dead.
If you weren't a part of the big four, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax or Testament(you decide), you were out of luck.
The door to success had officially closed on the genre.
Or so everyone thought.
Enter Pantera, thrash lives, taking all the best parts of the big four and combining them into a coherent attack of brutal thrash.
The scorching leads of Metallica, the innovation of Megadeth, the brutality of Slayer and the progressiveness of Testament. ... Read More
Rating:  - C.F.H. ARE BORN.
The first time I heard Pantera was in late 1990 early 1991, the song was Cowboys From Hell, I thought wow these guys are pretty intense. I then heard Cemetary Gates, this song blew me away and I had to go buy the album. When I bought this album I was truly impressed and enjoyed it very much. Looking back at Pantera's discography this album was by far not their best, but Pantera was still a work in progress. If you want to check out Pantera you should start with Cowboys so you can hear the progression of their ... Read More

Rating: - Step aside for the Cowboys from Hell!!
Cowboys From Hell (1990.), Pantera's first recognised studio album (their fifth if you count their four album releases during the 1980's which the band now totally disregards)
At the turn of the 90's nobody would have expected Pantera to become one of the greatest metal bands of the decade and in fact of all time. The band had released four inconspicuous glam metal styled releases in the previous decade which brought them very little success. However, being remembered as a little known glam act was ...
