PANTERA has announced the launch of a special collection in celebration of the band’s critically acclaimed album “Cowboys From Hell”, which was released 30 years ago today on July 24, 1990.
“Cowboys From Hell” was PANTERA’s breakthrough record, and it has since attained platinum certification in the United States. It has been praised by critics as one of the most influential albums on the metal scene in the 1990s. IGN named “Cowboys From Hell” the 19th most influential heavy metal album of all time.
The collection, available at PanteraStore.com, features brand new merchandise including a 30th-anniversary “Cowboys From Hell” long sleeve shirt, tee and hoodie, a limited edition mirrored pint glass, and most notably, an RIAA personalized platinum plaque.
PANTERA was formed by Guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott in the mid-eighties in Texas. The band recorded four independent albums before “Cowboys From Hell”, which acted as a sort of rebirth for the band, introducing a heavier sound for the act.
