HELLYEAH

About

Formed in Dallas, Texas in 2006, HELLYEAH is an American heavy metal supergroup. The concept for the band originated in 2000 during the Tattoo the Earth tour, but scheduling conflicts delayed the project for several years. By summer 2006, the members were able to commit to the idea and began recording their debut album. The self-titled album was recorded at Chasin' Jason studio located in Dimebag Darrell's backyard. It debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 9 and sold 45,000 copies. The band's final lineup featured lead vocalist Chad Gray, guitarists Christian Brady and Tom Maxwell, bassist Kyle Sanders, and drummer Roy Mayorga. Following their successful debut, HELLYEAH released five additional studio albums between 2010 and 2019. As of 2021, the band has been placed on hiatus.
