VINNIE PAUL’s True Metal Stories: Meeting ROB HALFORD - “We Were Playing A Club Called Rock ’N’ Roll Heaven In Toronto…”; Video Streaming

Louder Noise have uploaded a new episode of Vinnie Paul's True Metal Stories, in which Hellyeah’s Vinnie Paul tells how a chance meeting with Rob Halford led to Pantera touring Europe with Judas Priest. The clip, animated & directed by Máté Szabó, can be seen below:

Hellyeah have released an official music video for “Human”, a track from their upcoming fifth full-length album Unden!able, out on June 3rd via Eleven Seven Music. The video was directed by frequent collaborator Robert Sexton, who previously produced videos for the band’s breakthrough singles “Hush” and “Moth”, both Top 10 singles from the bands album Blood For Blood (2014).

Check out the video for “Human” below:

Comprised of vocalist Chad Gray, guitarists Tom Maxwell and Christian Brady, drummer Vinnie Paul and bassist Kyle Sanders, this is the first time this lineup has recorded together as a unit, promising a very special return to their true metal roots.

Unden!able was produced in Las Vegas at The Hideout Recording Studio by Kevin Churko (Papa Roach, Rob Zombie), and showcases everything that the band’s fans have come to know and love in a more focused, concise, and powerful sound with Churko co-writing all songs.

The album art by William Felch and Chad Gray revealed today, features a predatory, gleaming eye with an exclamation point pupil - the ultimate signifier of what’s inside: anger, pain and a hyper-focused, high octane, heavy metal collection for the ages.

Guitarist Tom Maxwell offered, "There's a lot of new stuff coming out that we've never tried before, and a lot of heavy shit…It's gonna be moody, it's gonna be dark, it's gonna be crushing, it's gonna be heartbreaking, it's gonna be everything. So it's going to be a proper take-off from our last record, but with a lot of new surprises, musically and lyrically. We are moving forward with the path that we've taken with 'Blood For Blood'. It's a really, really savage album, and we’re really excited for fans to hear it.”

Unden!able will be available just in time for Hellyeah’s upcoming Hell Pop Tour with In This Moment, which starts on June 18th in Des Moines, IA. This run will follow Hellyeah's We’re All In This Together headlining tour which also features Escape The Fate, New Years Day, and From Ashes To New, kicking off May 2nd in Baltimore, MD.
