Cowboys from Hell is Pantera's fifth album and their first Atco Records album, released on July 24, 1990 (see 1990 in music). This was their first commercially successful album, exposing the band's choppy rhythms and dissonant vocals to mainstream audiences for the first time. Cowboys from Hell is seen as Pantera's "official" debut by most fans, as well as the band itself as they left behind their glam metal past and began to exhibit a more groove-oriented sound.

On the Billboard Music Charts Top Heatseekers, Cowboys from Hell peaked at #27.

IGN named Cowboys from Hell the 19th most influential heavy metal album of all-time^[1].
