PANTERA’s iconic album “Cowboys From Hell” has now been certified with a double platinum status in the United States
PANTERA‘s 1990 major label debut, “Cowboys From Hell” was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) on May 26 for sales in excess of two million copies within the U.S.
“Cowboys From Hell” was originally certified platinum in July of 1997.
The LP has been praised by critics and fans alike as one of the most influential metal albums of the 1990s with IGN declaring “Cowboys From Hell” the 19th most influential heavy metal album of all time.
The new version of PANTERA, which features “original” members Phil Anselmo (vocals) and Rex Brown (bass) being joined by guitarist Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) and drummer Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX), played their first U.S. concert in over 20 years on May 6 at the Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally in Panama City, Florida.
The last time PANTERA played a concert on U.S. soil was when they performed at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington as part of the “Extreme Steel” tour on July 25, 2001.
PANTERA also pulled out the deep cut “Suicide Note Pt. II”, from the band’s 1996 album “The Great Southern Trendkill”, which hasn’t been performed live since the group “reunited” last year.
PANTERA are set to hit the road throughout North America this summer along with fellow groove-metallers LAMB OF GOD as their special guests.
One of the most anticipated tours of 2023, this celebration tour includes surviving members Philip Anselmo (vocals) and Rex Brown (bass) joined by guitarist Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) and drummer Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX).
Produced by Live Nation, the 20-city tour kicks off on Tuesday, July 28 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania at The Pavilion at Star Lake making stops in Milwaukee, Toronto, Austin, Denver, and more before wrapping up in Bristow, Virginia on September 15 at Jiffy Lube Live.
Fans can also see PANTERA live on stage at their recently announced support dates during METALLICA‘s North America Stadium tour dates in 2023 and 2024 and headlining major rock festivals in 2023 including Rockfest, Inkcarceration, and many more.
