PANTERA FIESTA

On Friday September 10th, we experienced history in the making at the Official Pantera 20th Anniversary Edition release party at Duff's Brooklyn. It was like being at a Pantera show in the mid 90's. People were losing their minds, losing their voices and losing their sanity song after song. From the moment we arrived Pantera's Cowboys From Hell was blasting on the PA and we ran into many Pantera fans from all over the tri-state area. Once the first beer was in hand, it was all about Pantera's legacy. The legacy that was established thanks to the bands passion and the well crafted music that Pantera created throughout their tremendous career.

Cowboys From Hell was released on July 24, 1990, and it was Pantera's 5th studio album. After many years of trial and error, Pantera was signed by Atco Records after the band found their sound, their image and the right moment to bring Heavy Metal back to the surface. Produced, engineered and mixed by Terry Date and Pantera, the album is a sonic assault that quickly gets the crowd grooving and headbanging. This is exactly what happened at Duff's Brooklyn!

There was definitely something in the air that night, a vibe that brought people together in unity. It reminded us of when Pantera played in 1991 at the Monsters of Rock festival in Russia, in front of 1.6 million people. That day Pantera shared the stage with Metallica, AC/DC and Aerosmith in what is considered one of the largest music festivals in history. Pantera outperformed every single band that day and made a statement that they were ready to rise the flag of Metal for many years to come.



Today the impact of Cowboys From Hell is evident throughout the entire Heavy Music scene, there is no artists or fan that doesn't own this classic record. If you ask anyone to choose their favorite song, they will have a hard time picking just one song. Cowboys From Hell is one the best records of all time, and 20 years later it is as relevant as it when it was released. We want to thank the Duff's crew for inviting us to cover the event and all the Pantera fans worldwide.

Here is a promotional clip we produced for the Pantera 20 Year Anniversary Edition, and it features footage from the party at Duff's Brooklyn. ENJOY! \m/
