Following an action-packed 4th of July weekend at the NASCAR Subway Jalapeno 250 race cheering on their namesake Stratus Racing Group’s #73 HELLYEAH Dodge COT car (Car of Tomorrow) from the pit, Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan), Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne), Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) and Bob Zilla (Damageplan) are thrilled to see their long-awaited album STAMPEDE get released in the US today.

“Hell Of A Time”, the albums 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.

The band is currently preparing to hit the road in the US for this summer’s- Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival.
