HELLYEAH guitarist Tom Maxwell made his way to Dallas, Texas from his home base of Baltimore, Maryland, Sunday, September 27, to begin the songwriting sessions for the band’s fifth album, tentatively due in early 2016.

The new CD will once again be recorded with producer Kevin Churko, who previously worked with HELLYEAH on 2014’s “Blood For Blood” album.

“Blood For Blood“, was the band’s first release since parting ways with guitarist Greg Tribbett and bassist Bob “Zilla” Kahaha in 2013.

The new members of HELLYEAH are bassist Kyle Sanders and guitarist Christian Brady.

“Blood For Blood” sold around 17,000 copies in its first week of release to land at No. 18 on the Billboard chart.
