HELLION (usa)

1988 EP by American HELLION, released between the albums Screams in the Night and The Black Book. With "Postcards from the Asylum", the Ann Boleyn-fronted band further established its identity within the U.S. Heavy Metal scene, delivering a powerful blend of melody, aggression and outstanding musicianship, while also including a superb cover of JUDAS PRIEST's classic "Exciter".

The four tracks capture HELLION at a creative high point, featuring a more refined production than its earliest recordings without sacrificing the energy and intensity that defined the band's sound. Serving as the perfect link between the group's first two full-length albums, this EP remains an essential release for anyone interested in the evolution of 1980s American Heavy Metal.
