HELLYEAH has inked a deal with Riot! Entertainment for the Australian/New Zealand release of the band's sophomore album, "Stampede". The CD will hit Australian stores on June 29 (via Warner Music Australia distribution).

Commented Riot! owner/CEO John Howarth: "It's a total honor for Riot! that HELLYEAH have chosen to work with us. This is one project we pursued extremely hard. The album is an absolute killer and it is going to blow people away! We all can't wait to get working on it and hope to have the band Down Under shortly."

HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott added: "We are so excited to be teamed up with Riot! in Australia! It's a great feeling to have a label as fired up as we are about stampede comin' Down Under, and as always, we can't wait to come and play for some of the best fans in the world - the Aussies!"
