The US supergroup Hellyeah saw former Pantera/Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul teaming up with members of Mudvayne and Nothingface to return to the fray following the death of his brother, guitarist Dimebag Darrell. In the spring of 2007, as the band prepared to release their self-titled debut album, Metal Hammer caught up with Vinnie – who passed away in 2018 - to talk rebirth, resurrection and how metal had changed while he was away.
