2011, Cited as a huge indirect influence, and as one of the true founding fathers of occult metal, the band formed in 1982 from the carcasses of UK metal bands Race Against Time and Paralex, whose WHITE LIGHTNING EP was listed by Metallica as a favorite. Despite over five years of constant touring, the band were cruelly overlooked by the ´80's music press, who just didn't get it. The final crushing blow came by the tragic suicide of singer/guitarist, Dave Halliday in 1987. Upon meeting again, the remaining members of Hell - Kev Bower (guitar/keys), Tony Speakman (bass) and Tim Bowler (drums) talked with Andy Sneap about re-recording the old material to release in conjunction with the old demos. With Sneap replacing Halliday on guitar and David Bower on vocals, the band has recorded ten Hell classics from the 80's.
