"Cowboys from Hell" is a breakout song by the heavy metal group Pantera from the album of the same name. Pantera used the phrase "Cowboys from Hell" (or its acronym, CFH) liberally in its image and merchandise. The song showcases Dimebag Darrell's fast and melodic playing abilities.The lyrics of the song concern (in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek way) the fact that the band were from Texas, a place not usually known at the time for producing successful metal bands, and that they were breaking out of their home state to the world at large. Enertia did a cover of the song on the Pantera tribute album Southern Death.
"Cowboys from Hell" ranked #25 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs.[1]
The song was featured on the Playstation 2 video game Guitar Hero.
