"Fucking Hostile" is a song by American heavy metal band Pantera that appears as the fourth track on their sixth studio album, Vulgar Display of Power (1992). Written by all four members of the band and produced by Terry Date, the protest song criticizes those who abuse their authority. While the band is often associated with mid-paced groove metal, the song is faster and more punk-influenced, at two minutes and 48 seconds, the shortest on the album.
It was first released as a promotional single by East West in 1992, but failed to chart. It was later released as 12-inch single in the UK. "Fucking Hostile" is considered a live favorite of the band.
