Who We Are: From LA to Highway Crosses

Some bands sound like a storm rolling in off the hills. We'd like to think that's us. Here's a short look at who we are and what we've made.

Where does All Hail the Yeti come from?

We're an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. We formed in 2006, and you'll find that year on several of our designs. Our sound mixes groove-heavy, sludgy riffs with big metalcore hooks: heavy enough for the pit, catchy enough to stay in your head.

Who is in the band?

The current line-up is Connor Garritty on vocals, Nicholas Diltz on bass and backing vocals, Ryan "Junior" Kittlitz on drums and Dave Vanderlinde on guitar. Guitarist Alan Stokes played on all three of our studio albums before leaving the band in 2018.

What have we released?

Three studio albums so far:

• All Hail the Yeti (2012)
• Screams from a Black Wilderness (2016)
• Highway Crosses (2018)

Before the debut came the EP Trees on Fire with Songs of Blood (2010), released under the name Yeti. After Highway Crosses came the EP Within the Hollow Earth in 2021.

What makes Screams from a Black Wilderness special?

It's a concept album. Released in April 2016 and produced by Matt Hyde, it is built on classic campfire horror stories, with a different story in every track. That same summer we took it on the road with the Haunted & Damaged North American headline tour.

Wear the story

Our designs pull from every part of that story, from the inverted-cross logo to the black wilderness and Highway Crosses. Browse the collection and find your piece.
