Hillbilly Deathride is a term eventually used as a band name for a heavy
metal group out of Charleston, WV.
Meaning: A journey (or ride) characterized by the irresponsibility of the hillbilly lifestyle, ending in
death.
The band 'Hillbilly Deathride' played hundreds of shows between 2004 and 2007, developing a substantial following in southern WV and eventually recording an as yet unreleased album, but appearing occasionally at special events.
The band is known for covering obscure songs in a 'screaming
metal' format and playing inebriated to intimate crowds long past closing
time.
