A to Z Challenge: C of for Cowboys

First things first, this is my 200th post! I am actually kind of annoyed that the A to Z challenge fell right on it, cause it would have been fun to throw some sort of shindig to celebrate. Ah well, there's always the other hundreds.

Cowboys From Hell is the only Pantera album I've ever listened to. I've heard select songs off of other albums, but this is the only one I've listened to every track.

Now I'm gonna say this right now, I really don't like Pantera that much. I'll admit that Dime was an amazing guitarist for what he did, and as much as I don't care for Phil Anselmo I can't deny that he has a pretty good vocal range. Phil also makes some interesting faces.

Probably my favorite tracks on this album are as follows.

Cowboys From Hell
Primal Concrete Sledge
Psycho Holiday
Heresy
Cemetery Gates
Domination
The Art Of Shredding

Each song holds some sort of appeal to me in one way or another. Domination sounds almost like a Motörhead song, Psycho Holiday starts with machine gun fire, and Primal Concrete Sledge has a part where they add this random half a measure or so.

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
