HELLYEAH’s STAMPEDE

HELLYEAH’s STAMPEDE CRACKS BILLBOARD TOP 10




Metal Supergroup’s Sophomore Release Debuts At No. 8 Position On The Billboard 200 Chart


New York, NY- (July 21, 2010) The members of HELLYEAH, the Metal supergroup featuring Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan), Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne), Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) and Bob Zilla (Damageplan), were thrilled to hear the news that their highly- anticipated sophomore album- STAMPEDE

cracked the Billboard Top 200 chart at the No. 8 position in its first week of release in the United States.


“Hell Of A Time”, the album’s current single, quickly reached the #1 position as the Most-Added track at Active Rock Radio a full week before the official add date and continues to maintain a strong hold at the #10 position on the BDS Active Rock chart this week.



STAMPEDE has gotten a great reception from fans and press alike. “(STAMPEDE) finds HELLYEAH offering something with testosterone and confidence, moving the band closer to eliciting their moniker’s intended sentiment,” says ALTERNATIVE PRESS. REVOLVER agrees - “On album numero dos, Southern-Metal Supergroup HELLYEAH rock hard and party harder.”



Beginning tonight at the Lonestar Amphitheater in Lubbock, Texas, HELLYEAH will be hitting the road for a string of US and Australian dates before joining on this summer’s- Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival. The 36-date, late summer tour, which includes other heavyweight acts such as Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour and Halestorm among others, launches August 17 in Minneapolis, MN and will visit arenas and amphitheatres across North America before wrapping October 4 in Madison, WI.

American Carnage Tour Announced




ORIGINAL “CLASH OF THE TITANS” LINEUP OF SLAYER, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX TO TOUR AGAIN
Leg Two of American Carnage Tour Announced


Los Angeles, CA - (MONDAY, July 12, 2010) -- Metalheads rejoice: North America's biggest thrash tour in 20 years is announced, as 1991's original American "Clash of the Titans" lineup - Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax - will tour together once again on Leg Two of the American Carnage Tour. This trek kicks off September 24 at Superpages in Dallas, TX and will play 20 dates, including New York's Nassau Coliseum, concluding at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on October 21.

On Leg Two of American Carnage, Megadeth will continue to roar through its landmark 1990 album Rust in Peace from front to back, while Slayer will rip the roof off by performing its much-lauded Seasons in the Abyss album, which was also released in 1990. Anthrax recently welcomed back singer Joey Belladonna, who defined the band during their heyday, and now permanently back in the band, will be front-and-center.

A special presale will launch this Wednesday, July 14, and fans should log onto to www.slayer.net - www.megadeth.com - or www.anthrax.com - to obtain the special code needed for the presale, and then go to www.ticketmaster.com (http://knoxvilletickets.com/ for the Knoxville date) to purchase tickets. The public on sale date will begin July 23 in most markets. In the spirit of beating the recession, there will be special pre-sale discounts on all tickets in most markets (see below for more details), and, if that's not enough, a limited amount of $10 tickets will be available in many cities - log onto any of the bands' websites or onto Ticketmaster's site for those details.

But wait, there's even more. For Leg Two of the American Carnage tour, Megadeth has teamed up with iloveallaccess.com to provide fans with VIP experiences including priority venue access, meet and greets, parties, exclusive gifts and more. Logging onto www.megadeth.com will provide those details. Plus, fans who purchase their tickets online at either www.slayer.net or www.ticketmaster.com - will receive a free download of the live audio track "War Ensemble," set to be included on Slayer's forthcoming, as yet unannounced, "Live Intrusion" DVD release.

Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax will kick off the second leg of the American Carnage tour on the heels of the historical "Big Four" Sonisphere Festival concerts they played with Metallica in seven European cities this summer. The dates marked the first time that these four bands - acknowledged as the most influential bands the thrash metal genre - had shared a concert bill.


The original “Clash of the Titans” tour united the three forces of thrash metal for the entire summer of 1991, with then-little known Alice in Chains serving as the opener. This tour, which falls under the “American Carnage” banner, isn’t rewriting history; it’s writing a whole new chapter of headbanging history that is sure to delight fans new and old.


Megadeth and Slayer return to North America late this month to co-headline the east coast Canadian Carnage tour, and then starting August 11, the first leg of the American Carnage tour (dates below) with Testament as Special Guest. The tour was originally scheduled for a winter 2010 run, but was postponed when Slayer bassist/vocalist Tom Araya was forced to undergo neck surgery. But as is the case for anything good in life, this tour will be well worth the wait.
