Speaking of Pantera albums, we recently published our ranking of the band’s discography!
Including the releases they put out during their glam metal phase, we ranked every Pantera album from worst to best. Can you guess which record we put in first place?
If you have not checked out that ranking yet, you can do so by following the link below. While we won’t tell you what place we ranked it in, here is what we had to say about Cowboys From Hell:
“Released in 1990, Cowboys from Hell is the Pantera album that changed the game for the band; compared to where the band started in the ’80s, the band became a whole other beast with this release. Introducing a powerful sense of groove alongside uses of melody, Pantera delivers a kick-ass time that still holds up to this day.”
