Hellyeah rocks on, adds new dates with Korn

Heavy metal "supergroup" Hellyeah has extended its current North American tour with a heap of new dates that support its debut album, which surfaced earlier this year.

The band--Mudhoney's Chad Gray (vocals) and Greg Tribbett (guitar), Nothingface's Tom Maxwell (guitar), Pantera/Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott and Damageplan's Bob Zilla--is due tonight (9/25) in Vancouver, British Columbia, as it continues its stint in support of alt-rockers Korn .

The group has 21 shows left on its fall schedule before possibly going into hiatus as the band's members resume work with their primary employers. All dates are shown below.

"We're seeing how far we can take [Hellyeah ] this time around," Abbott said during an interview with LiveDaily last month. "Then, early next year, they're going to have the new Mudvayne record and they're going to do a tour. When that's all done, we're going to get back together. In one-and-a-half to two years, we'll do Hellyeah part two.

The band is touring behind its self-titled debut album, released in April on Epic Records. The seed for the band and eventual album was planted in 2000, when Maxwell and Gray met while both of their bands were on the Tattoo the Earth tour.

"I was hell-bent on starting this band," Maxwell said. "I had a lot of music I couldn't do in Nothingface. I wanted a band that would play hooks and grooves. So I accept the blame--or the credit."
