Hellyeah! - Awesome tour hits the UK!!!

August 2014

Tour, UK

Hellyeah! hit the UK with support from Protafield and GraVil!!!

Tomorrow Hellyeah! will arrive in Bristol, one of the first dates of their current tour after slaying the Sophie Lancaster stage at last weekends Bloodstock festival with four more dates to follow... ending on August the 17th at the London, Underworld. but will have stiff competition in the form of two amazing support bands that they bring on the tour with them. They have picked Welsh Industrialists Protafield previously Jayce Lewis and London based GraVil who provide some great Heavy Metal to the mix.

Hellyeah!

Hellyeah! who feature Chad Gray - Vocals (Ex-Mudvayne), Vinnie Paul - Drums (Ex-Pantera / Ex-Damageplan), Tom Maxwell - Guitar (Ex-Nothing Face), Kyle Sanders - Bass (Monstro) and Christian Brady - Guitar (Ex-Magna-Fi / Ex-Franky Perez and the Truth) are bound to put on a great show, headbangers, take note! Don't waste time concerning yourself with the band members’ impressive resumes or with dwelling on their previous work. On their last album 'Blood for Blood', Hellyeah! lives in the here and now. 'Blood for Blood' is the album that the band always wanted to make and see's them at their best. And after great performances at the Graspop Festival in 2013 and the Bloodstock Festival in 2014 you can see that they can pull off the songs live too. On 'Blood for Blood' the band opted to work with an outside producer for the first time ever, recruiting Las Vegas based Canadian producer, Kevin Churko for the job.

The band was happy to allow Churko to provide a fresh perspective. Given Churko's resume which is littered with names as diverse as Ozzy Osbourne, In This Moment and Five finger death Punch, the band knew he was the man who could pull the best performance possible out of Gray. With this great album under their belts and a the history of the members of the band makes Hellyeah! a act you don't want to miss. - http://www.hellyeahband.com/

Protafield

Industrialists Protafield were previously called Jayce Lewis and toured with the UK with Black light Burn (Wes Borland Limp Bizkit) and Electronic legend Gary Numan. As the band Jayce Lewis they received comparisons to the legend Numan, Nine inch Nails and even Orgy. As Jayce Lewis he release a self titled solo album back in 2010 which received a lot of praise and got people interested in the band. In early 2014 Jayce Lewis announced publicly that his artist pseudonym name to change to Protafield after agreeing a record contract with Caroline International (Universal Music Group) and that he was going to release his long awaited second album 'Nemesis'. Protafield consists of Jayce Lewis (Protafield), Jack Slade (Drums), Martin Thompson (Bass), Marc James (Guitar). This is an act that hear at Music Trespass we absolutely love and one you don't want to miss, they mix up and tear down so many boundaries from Industrial to Electronica to even 80's sounding Pop... this makes them an act that is very important in 2014. - www.protafield.com

GraVil

GraVil following the release of their critcially acclaimed new album 'Thoughts of a rising Sun' and the bands headline set at the Takeover stage at Download Festival 2013. GraViL have already been featured in Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Sound magazines and had a lot of radio airplay including Ian Camfield's XFM Rock show. Their single 'March of the Titans' which had James McIlroy of Cradle Of Filth fame guesting on it and got them noticed even more in the Metal World. 'Thoughts of a rising Sun' was recorded in late 2012 at Escape Route Studios in London with acclaimed producer Dan Abela (Gallows, Bleed From Within, Voices, Silent Descent) and showed of the bands awesome raw power, giving it a feeding frenzy of steroids and nurturing the capsule of songs into a colossal, snarling landscape of aggression, pace and melody. Highlights of the record included the single 'Enemy Within' a melodic almost 'core' track and 'Beyond Reprieve' which was really harsh and brutal. Not to mention 'Bottle of Shadows' encapsulates everything GraViL represent with plenty of melody and sledgehammer riffs and hooks and are a band that your going to be amazed by!!! So check them out!!!. - www.gravilmetal.com
