Once Upon a Hell of a Time is the sixth studio album by Matt Mays, released on October 20, 2017.[1] His first studio album since 2012, the album was inspired in part by the death of his bandmate Jay Smith in 2013 during the tour to support Coyote.[2]
The album's cover art was designed by artist Ola Volo, who is herself the subject of a song on the album.[3]
In 2018, Mays released Twice Upon a Hell of a Time, an album comprising acoustic renditions of the same songs.[4]
All songs written by Matt Mays, except as noted.
