On July 24, 1990, Pantera released their breakthrough album, “Cowboys From Hell.” Songs such as “Cowboys From Hell,” “Cemetery Gates,” and “Domination” became instant classics, and the band’s popularity began to soar. The album, recorded at Pantego Sound Studio, eventually went double platinum, with over two million copies sold in the U.S.
In this article from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, music critic Dave Ferman offers a review of the Pantera and White Zombie concert at Coca-Cola Starplex in Dallas on July 13, 1996. Although not mentioned in this article, as it was likely kept discreet, Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo overdosed on heroin after the concert, further driving a wedge into an already fractured band.
Vincent Paul Abbott—better known as Vinnie Paul, drummer of the heavy metal band Pantera—passed away on June 22, 2018. He remains one of the most influential heavy metal drummers.
Pantera, who formed in Arlington in the early 1980s, cemented their heavy metal legacy with “Vulgar Display of Power”—their best-selling album. It was released on February 25, 1992.
