Hellyeah - Welcome Home - Music & Performance - Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. Hellyeah's story took a tragic twist on June 22nd, 2018, when world-renowned drummer, Vinnie Paul Abbott, passed away to once more be reunited with his beloved brother, Dimebag Darrell. Dauntless, the heartbroken Hellyeah bravely soldiered on to complete the album Vinnie had already recorded his drum parts for - the outfit's sixth offering, Welcome Home. "The world deserves to hear Vinnie's last piece of work," lead guitarist, Christian Brady, states. "He was so proud of it. There was definitely a huge sense of responsibility to honor his legacy." In addition to the 9 cuts Vinnie played on, an extra song, "Skyy and Water," was added. "I wrote the music the day after Vinnie died," Maxwell reveals. "It's a very bitter, emotionally-draining piece for me. I wanted the sorrow and loss I was feeling to come out in the music, and Chad's lyrics said exactly what I was feeling. The first time I heard them, it broke me in half. That song is our heartfelt 'Goodbye & Thank You' note to Vinnie." Mixed and produced by Kevin Churko.
