Hellyeah, the southern-fried metal band featuring drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott (ex-Pantera, Damageplan), singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne), guitarist Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) and bassist Bob "Zilla" Kakaha (ex-Damageplan), are expected to release their third record late spring/early Summer.

The band's yet-untitled third record was recorded at Vinnie Paul's Alington, Texas home studio and was mixed by Jeremy Parker (Godsmack, Evanescence). Some song titles set to appear include: 'Call It Like I See It', 'War In Me' and 'Drink, Drank, Drunk'.

Hellyeah is said to have focused on going back to their metal roots thus creating a heavy, focused, groove-oriented record.
