Bio:
Hellgrimm is a power trio forged in 2018 that delves into the darkness of addictions, death, and demons with stories based in fiction and fact. Nostalgia for 1970s - 80s stadium rock weaves through this gut punch of sonic wizardry. The music conjures spells of destruction and salvation and fights and woos demons, physical and psychological. Their rhythmic melodies are punctuated by haunting solos and a piercing voice gives hope that there may be paths out of the darkness. "Sacrifice," Hellgrimm's fifth studio album, arrives March 2024, online and on CD. An 11-song, hard-hitting, rock album, recorded and co-produced by Hellgrimm's long-time engineer, Daisun de Rijk, "Sacrifice" is the eagerly-awaited follow up to the LP "Ritual" (September, 2022). Single "Speed Demon" features drummer extraordinaire Mike Heller (Raven, Control/Resist, Malignancy, formerly of Fear Factory). "Til Death do us Party" was mastered at Abbey Road Studios in 2023 by legendary engineer Sean Magee. "Sacrifice" also contains two Black Sabbath covers, "Never Say Die" and "N. I. B.," the latter featuring drums by Robert Garcia.Hellgrimm plays several shows in Texas in 2024 in support of their new album. The band flies to Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia, in July as part of the Chaos Festival Vol. 1, supporting headliners Nasty Savage, Agent Steel, and Sinister.

Hellgrimm also has two songs in the soundtrack of the film "The Darkness" (2024).Writer/guitarist Jerry Connor began his music obsession in his teens on South Padre Island, Texas. After years of playing in local bands, his world turned upside down when a fateful accident almost cost him his left hand and his life. Following two major surgeries, many doctors told him he would never play guitar again. Undeterred, Jerry studied music theory and composition at the University of Texas Pan American in hopes of becoming a composer.Jerry rehabilitated his hand through years of relentless practice and was able to play guitar once again, moving around the country to work with national acts. In 2002, he landed in San Antonio, Texas, and began writing the music that would conjure the band Hellgrimm.Drummer/vocalist/studio bassist Erica Missey fell in love with live music as a child while watching her grandfather and uncle play guitar in bars and at family get-togethers. She started playing trumpet when she was eleven and enjoyed playing through high school and early into university.After years of concentrating on her art career (animation credits include “Space Jam” and “The Prince of Egypt"), Erica returned to making music as a bass player. She met Jerry Connor in 2002 and joined him to form the band Monkeysoop. After years of playing bass and finding her voice, Erica switched to drums in 2010 and became the primary singer when Hellgrimm was conceived in 2018. Erica creates the artwork for Hellgrimm's albums and graphics.George L. Ortiz is an independent filmmaker who's love for all things film started at a young age, acting in his father’s show all around Puerto Rico in the 80’s.
