We Surprised Phil Anselmo of Pantera with a Cowboy From Hell

Distortions Unlimited creators Tom and Trevor surprise Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo with a one-of-a-kind 'Cowboy From Hell' Halloween prop as a birthday gift, delivered backstage at the Ogden Theater in Denver.

Two days later, Pantera gave back by dedicating the song 'Broken' to Distortions Unlimited during a massive concert alongside Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies. The video wraps with a return to the Distortions Unlimited workshop, where monster-making continues as usual.
