Cowboys From Hell by Pantera: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Cowboys from Hell" by Pantera is the title track from their fifth studio album, released in 1990. Dimebag Darrell's aggressive riffing and powerful groove define the song, showcasing his signature squealing pinch harmonics and lightning-fast shredding. The song features a drop-tuned guitar, adding to its heavy sound, and Rex Brown's driving bassline complements Vinnie Paul's thunderous drumming. "Cowboys from Hell" marked a shift in Pantera's sound towards the groove metal genre, setting the stage for their future success.
