HELLION - Screams In The Night

HELLION - Screams In The Night.

Hellion became famous after being discovered by Ronnie James Dio in the mid-1980s. Hellion was based in Los Angeles and there were several line-ups, all of which were very good. The band probably would have become very big, if it was not for the major record companys' concept of female singers and they type of music women were expected to perform in the 1980s. Many famous managers and record companys offered Ann Boleyn deals if she agree to become more of a pop-rock singer, such as Pat Benetar. (There is a story that the former manager of Van Halen was convinced that Ann Boleyn was going to be "the next Pat Benetar." Another famous record producer, who had worked with Janis Joplin, said she was the 1980s answer to Janis.) At the same time, most of the record companies thought that the band itself was so heavy that they needed a male singer. These conflicts often caused band members to come and go.

Hellion developed a substantial following in the cities where they regularly performed. Because Ann Boleyn is one of the only metal singers who did not rely on sexy costumes and never "sold out" she has maintained a strong cult following, and releases recordings every several years. The last Hellion album came out in 2003 on Massacre Records (Germany).

She took a few years off from music to go to law school. But, she has said in interviews that she will continue performing and recording when she is done with law school.

There is a current rumor that Ann Boleyn will be singing the role of Dawn Crosby when Detente recorms for a European tour in 2008. However, as of December of 2007, this has not been confirmed in the press.

[noteworker1971]

And i always thought Chet should work together with Dio. That would be a superb musical collaboration.

[noteworker1971]

Chet Thompson was a young guitar prodigy in 80's. What a great talent. Randy Rhoads meets Jake E. Lee. I love Chet's guitar work on this album, if my memory serves right, it was released in 1987.

[MetalMistress888]

Wow. I had heard OF Hellion, but this is the first time I actually heard them.

Strong stuff! That singer is awesome. She is such a light build but with such power and presence! (like a female Dio). I can see why he ended up managing them.
