Hellion Rising

HIGHWAY TO HELL 5

Hellion Rising are one of many bands performing who hail from Newcastle they have the venue jumping around straight away with 'Goat Charmer'. Matt Adamson has an excellent voice and demenour a he encourages the crowd to get involved - something they are more than happy to do. Giovanni Camillo plays a great solo before retreating to the back giving the stage back to Adamson who negotiates a wordy verse before one of the best blood curdling screams of the weekend! 'The Beast' has the band use every inch of it the stage with to their advantage . 'Just For Tonight' from their first EP has Camillo standing legs apart(ala Rick Parfitt) thrashing his guitar smiling looking he's having the best time before he's joined by guitarist Davey Reay in some twin guitar harmonics. To me, even this early, it was clear that they are one of the bands of the weekend and if they don't play Glasgow again then it's a terrible shame. Wrapping up with a storming version of Andrew WKs 'Party Hard', they leave the stage to rapturous applause – and whatever the final results, they are winners in my book!
