APRIL of AUTHORITY - FLASHBACK! - Hellion

Whoa, kids!  Put on yer special hats that keep yer heads from blowing up - today is both FLASHBACK! Saturday AND still the April of Authority!  As if perfect symmetry was ordained by the universe, Hellion is both an awesome band with a killer frontwoman AND is named for a Judas Priest track.  Frontwoman and lawyer (yeh - all this and a law degree, too) Ann Boleyn has been shaping the world of metal for thirty years, and I'll bet you've never heard of her.  She is credited with coining the term "speed metal", and her New Renaissance Records label is responsible for launching the careers of bands like Prong (one of my favorite heavy metal bands ever), Morbid Angel, Mayhem, Supultura, and Flotsam & Jetsam.  Now show some respect - it's Hellion - CRANK IT!
