Earlier today I was wondering out loud what Vinnie Paul Abbott has been up to since the Damageplan incident. I am wholly impressed.

He has a record label (Big Vin Records), released a DVD which, based on its title, appears to be for his late brother, and writes a column in Revolver magazine. Plus the whole endorsements thing.

But what's really caught my attention is his latest musical project - Hellyeah. With Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett, Vocals and guitar respectively and both from Mudvayne, Tom Maxwell of Nothingface on guitar, and Jerry Montano of Danzig and Nothingface, they've really put something great together.

They have three full length tracks on their myspace page. Check it out.
