Hellbilly music is a fusion genre of rock music that mixes elements of rockabilly/country with heavy metal music. It is one of several subgenres of rockabilly revival movement which also include psychobilly, gothabilly, thrashabilly, trashabilly, punkabilly, surfabilly.[1] Hellbilly music also falls into the Alternative country genre. Hellbilly music is also known as Metal-country, Metalbilly, and possibly many more names. David Alan Coe recorded a Hellbilly album called Rebel Meets Rebel. In the CD packaging, David Alan Coe makes the claim that it was he and the band members of Pantera that developed the fusion of country and metal, even though others get credit for it. (Garth Brooks and Metallica, according to Coe) In 1989 the band Elvis Hitler recorded the album Hellbilly with a mix of Country and Metal as well as Punk rock, pre dating Rebel Meets Rebel. However, David Alan Coe did mention that Rebel Meets Rebel was in the works for quite some time, and the development of the album could have pre-dated Elvis Hitler's Hellbilly album. .
