1.) Traditional Metal band from San Fransisco. Formed in 1985, they released a full-length "Babylon" a year later and later released a demo "Louder Than Hell". Have since split-up. 2.)Rising from the heart of the UK it has taken us mere months since forming in 2009 to be recognised as a major player in Birmingham's music scene and are set to take on Manchester after impressive outings around major UK cities.
