Cowboys From Hell (2LP 180 Gram Vinyl)

With their 1990 major label debut, Pantera unleashes one of the most acclaimed and imitated records in the history of the genre.  Upon it's release (and soon after unsuspecting fans took a gander at the band's take-no prisoners live shows), songs like the album's title track and "Cemetary Gates" helped Pantera to swiftly join America's pantheon of great heavy metal bands.
