HELLYEAH will release their sophomore album, Stampede, on July 13th via Epic Records.

The band have issued the following update:

"The Stampede is coming July 13th, but you can pre-order it now for your chance to get the album 2 weeks early, a Hellyeah bull skull, and a ton of other cool sh*t!!!"

The above mentioned pre-order can be found here.

The band recently updated their Myspace player to stream the full version of their new song 'Cowboy Way'. Check it out at this location.

Stampede, the follow up to the band's 2007 self-titled debut is being recorded, produced and mixed by Vinnie Paul and Sterling Winfield.

Vocalist Chad Gray says of the album, “I couldn’t wait to write this record. I can’t wait for our fans to hear it and I definitely can’t wait to hit the fucking stage and play it! Stampede represents every emotion that you’ve ever had and everything that screams Hellyeah! There’s no smoke and mirrors with what we are. What you see is what you get. And what your get is five guys bringin’ it, a head full of music, bleeding ears and most likely…. drunk!”
