Vaqueros del Infierno.

Y pues nada, que los  Pantera celebran el vigésimo aniversario de la salida al mercado de Cowboys from Hell con una Deluxe Edition del disco que les colocó en el Olimpo del Metal a nivel mundial.

Aquí estaba la leyenda Diamond Darrell (guitarra), cuyo nombre de guerra, Dimebag, todavía no figuraba en los créditos, y su brother Vinnie Paul (batería), el bajista Rex Brown y ese vocalista esquizofrénico y bestial llamado Phil Anselmo, capaz de llegar a las notas más agudas (Cemetary Gates), para cambiar después a un rango mas grave y caotico.

 Así que para celebrar estos 20 años, la official webstore de Pantera ofrece una caja de  edición exclusiva que te maneja:

* Una maletita-petaca- con el logo de "Cowboys From Hell" 
* Un destapador de hebilla de cinturón -¿así o mas guarro?-.
*Una playera exclusiva de "Cowboys From Hell"
* Cuatro púas/plumillas-conmemorativas-
* y el que viene a ser el "Cowboys From Hell" 20th-anniversary expanded CD

Todo esto viene en una caja con la forma del estado de Texas.

PANTERA found its growl and groove on "Cowboys From Hell", a landmark album whose bone-powdering intensity, razor-sharp riffing and pummeling rhythmic assault represented a turning point in modern metal when it was released in 1990. More than just PANTERA's major label debut, many consider this album to be the official debut of the PANTERA lineup with singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul and bassist Rex Brown.

To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of "Cowboys From Hell", Rhino rounds up a three-disc "Ultimate Edition," a three-disc "Deluxe Edition," and a two-disc "Expanded Edition." All three editions include a newly remastered version of the original album along with unreleased and rare live performances from the "Cowboys From Hell" tour. The "Ultimate" and "Deluxe" editions will also feature a disc of unreleased demos for nearly every album track, plus, "The Will To Survive", a previously unreleased song recorded during the album's sessions.

"'The Will To Survive' is a great track. With so many killer songs, it was hard to pick and choose the ones that should make our major label debut," says Vinnie Paul. "After hearing it for the first time in about 20 years, it's a pretty stellar performance and I am definitely proud that it will see the light of day for all the die-hard PANTERA fans around the world! It shows the true musical diversity of the band at that time!"

The "Ultimate Edition" will feature all three discs included in the "Deluxe Edition" and will be housed in an intricate box including several replica memorabilia pieces from the "Cowboys" era. The "Ultimate Edition" will be available on November 23 and final pre-order details, as well as the contents, will be unveiled soon on PANTERA's Facebook page.

Along with the remastered version of "Cowboys From Hell", all three sets include a disc of live music recorded during the tour for the album. It begins with seven unreleased performances from PANTERA's September 15, 1990 appearance at the Foundations Forum metal convention in California, a show recorded for radio broadcast but never released commercially. The remainder of the disc contains the five-song EP "Alive And Hostile", a collection of performances recorded in 1991 at the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow that was previously available only in Australia as part of a 1994 boxed set.
