Bio:

Banshee is a metal band that was formed in 1986 in the American Midwest. Although they shared the image and sound with the glam/metal scene of the 80s, their music fully shares the elements of melodic power metal: catchy guitar riffs, eclectic drums and bass, powerful guitar solos, and intense vocals.Banshee, a melodic power metal band from the Midwest, was formed in the spring of 1986. Made up of members from the popular Mid-West touring act LICK (Tommy Lee & Chuck Hopkins), Terry Dunn of Kansas City-based FRODO, GRANMAX, and Kent Burnham from Kansas City-based CRYPT KEEPER. By the fall of 1986, they released their first EP entitled Cry in the Night. Hopkins left shortly thereafter to pursue other projects in L.A. and was replaced by local Kansas City bassist Bill Westfall.In 1988, Metal Blade Records re-released Cry In The Night and included the song "We Want You" on a compilation record, Metal Massacre No. 9.Later that year, the band released their first full-length album, Race Against Time, on Atlantic Records' Titanium label, although their relationship was brief.In 1992, the band self-released their second full-length album, Take 'Em By Storm, with members separating shortly thereafter.Reunion shows were played in 1999, 2000, and later in 2008. In 2008, a deal was negotiated with BlastZone Entertainment Group to provide worldwide distribution for a digitally remastered Take 'Em By Storm and saw distribution reach on Amazon.com, iTunes, and Wal-Mart, with the re-release of the other albums following.In 2012, the band released their fourth studio album Mindslave on Snowblind Records. The album featured vocalist George Call (ASKA, Violent Storm, Omen), original bassist Chuck Hopkins, and drummer Marty Schiermann. In June 2012 in preparation for the upcoming tour, Hopkins and Schiermann were both unable to tour with the band and Mika Horiuchi (ex-Falling In Reverse and Celador) from Los Angeles, California stepped up on bass, while Vinnie E. Parma from Dallas, Texas took the role of drums.In 2014, Bill Westfall returned as the band begins work on the follow up to Mindslave.Paul Berrian joined as their new drummer in late 2014.In 2015, Bill Westfall left Banshee to concentrate on Kansas City metal band, Death By Diesel.

Album:

Divebomb Records is releasing a 2-CD set including the two first cult albums "Race Against Time / Cry In The Night" by US hard rockers BANSHEE fully remastered plus a bonus track.Rising from the Midwestern hard rock scene of the mid-'80s, Banshee was a band that balanced traditional US metal and melodic hard rock with winning results. Featuring former members of such underground Kansas City groups as Granmax and Frodo, Banshee was fronted by Tommy Lee Flood, a vocalist that many have compared to Ronnie James Dio in his range and power, but also Don Dokken for his melodic waves.A few years after forming, Banshee self-released their "Cry In The Night" miniLP in 1986, selling so many copies independently that both Metal Blade and Atlantic Records courted the young act. Banshee ended up signing on with A&R legend Jason Flom at Atlantic Records, but not before licensing the miniLP to Metal Blade, in turn bringing international attention to the group.1989 found the quartet releasing their debut full length album,"Race Against Time", an 11-song collection that focused on their more melodic tendencies. Still having their original US metal sound as foundation, Banshee added a welcomed catchiness to their music, as example listen to the AOR feeling of ‘Desire’ with its harmony chorus, or the bouncy melodic hard rocker ‘Get it On The Run’.Despite MTV's Headbangers Ball giving the band's 'Shoot Down the Night' video healthy airplay, behind-the-scenes drama lead to Banshee being dropped by Atlantic Records. The group would break up in 1993.Now, over 30 years since Banshee formed, Divebomb Records are delivering these two cult classics "Race Against Time / Cry In The Night" for the first time digitally remastered plus a bonus track; 'We Want You' in its first mix as originally appeared in one of the now legendary Metal Massacre compilations.With both titles long out of print, this is your chance to own two collectible pieces from a band that commercially should have been huge, but musically certainly was.

Bio:

Banshee began as a heavy metal band in Kansas City formed by Terry Dunn, Chuck Hopkins, Tommy Lee Flood, and Kent Burnham. Flood and Hopkins, formerly of Omaha, Nebraska’s premiere heavy metal band, Lick, contributed thunderous bass and Dio-esque vocals. Dunn from Kansas City based Frodo, provided scorching lead guitar reminiscent of the late Randy Rhoads and complemented Banshee with Kent Burnham’s rapid fire drumming.Banshee quickly became a nationwide name in the metal genre of the late 1980's with their EP entitled, “Cry in the Night” on Metal Blade Records. It was followed by the stellar “Race Against Time” LP, with Bill Westfall replacing Hopkins on bass. Due to the rise of grunge and the decline of metal, Atlantic decided against renewal of Banshee’s contract. “Take ‘Em By Storm” was released in the 1990’s, but unfortunately, was not widely promoted, as was the case with many other metal acts.After several years off, the band briefly reformed and performed at reunion shows and festivals throughout 2008 before going their separate ways."Mindslave", the band's 4th record was released in July 2012 and brought Chuck Hopkins back to the lineup on bass and as album producer. The group embarked on a well received summer tour that year, of the United States. It is available now on BansheeRocks.com, iTunes, Amazon MP3, Spotify, Rhapsody and most digital retailers around the world. Mindslave will be re-released on a collectible picture disk with download card on Visionary Noise in the near future.Banshee today is comprised of the masterful genius of Terry Dunn both composing and on guitars along with the powerhouse vocalist George Call (ASKA, ex-OMEN).Pestered relentlessly in 2018 by Groove and Vibe Fest promoter, Steve Susman, and Micah Jackson of Visionary Noise Records, Banshee made a triumphant return to the stage and signed a new recording deal with Visionary Noise in July 2018. Banshee released their 5th album, entitled, “The Madness” in July 2019.

Album:

Banshee’s final known full-length was 1991’s ‘Take Em by Storm, and was released on their third record company, Snowblind, after the band was dropped by Atlantic, losing major record label support in the process. After the breakthrough power metal EP, the band took a marked shift in direction, heading further into hard rock territory; ballads, rock anthems, and bold, melodic choruses making use of simple riffs and huge backup vocals. Banshee often cops a bit of criticism for this, but I still feel this later stuff still kicks ass. While I am somewhat disappointed the band didn’t head down more of an aggressive power metal route, like Fifth Angel or other highly melodic, yet ballsy outfits, it can be said that present in their early work was a clear talent for crafting loud, shouty, ballsy anthems, that felt at least a pinch hard rock, and quite straight up heavy metal, with power metal credentials. This uncanny knack for churning out anthems seems to have taken more of an organic route, as opposed to pure “big label commercial pressure” or the bands own dreams of being the next Guns ‘N Roses. This type of music not only seems natural, and unforced from Banshee, but they often execute it with far greater prowess, technical proficiency and pure balls than the plebs.In ‘Running Wild’, not only in name, we edge somewhat into Judas Priest territory – crunching, aggressive guitar tones, and a touch of Rob Halfordishness coming through in some of the vocal chorus lines, particularly the banshee screams peppered throughout the thing, where octaves raise up to the stratosphere. This one is fairly simplistic, but rocks hard, and is a definite anthem. Yet again, and even with the year ticking over into 1990, Banshee shows off prowess at writing anthem after anthem, ousting the still lingering hair bands of the day, with their awkward fumblings on instruments and tired, played out teen love subject matters. ‘Stand Strong’ can be picked as yet another anthem, just by glancing at the name. This one features some decent enough riff sections, with some more of that simple bridge stuff that becomes common in the later Banshee offerings. The chorus feels a bit repetitive with “On and on, we stand strong…” but underneath that, are some pretty darn metal scaled riff type things being done, although you might not notice them; guitars can be less than conspicuous at times on the release. Either way, these are just two of the abundant number of rockin’ anthems present on the album. ‘Livin’ it Up’ is the kind of title that branded a thousand hard rock and heavy metal songs in the 80’s, but here, songwriting and vocal skills save the thing. Some nice production helps it along, too.While in tracks like ‘Memories’ we might be forgiven for thinking Banshee were trying a little hard to be the next Guns ‘N Roses, tracks like ‘Locked Inside’ with their heavy, Priest like riffing, and Iron Maidenish vocals, have considerable metal credentials. That, and a good 3 other decent anthems on this one, give the album some points, although it fails to produce anything that really matches moments on the previous EP and full-length. This isn’t their best effort, and it is arguably their most hard rock, but it’s still solid songwriting and musicianship, by an overlooked and underappreciated heavy/power metal outfit, that were on the verge of making it big in their heyday. I’d still recommend fans of the band to pick it up, and it’s a pleasurable listen, but I can’t help but ponder over what things could’ve been like if Banshee decided to keep their recipe 50/50 power: heavy metal, instead of successively diluting it with hard rock. Catchy, anthemic, but likely a little bit too hard rock for some.
