A heavy metal group from the early 1980s that built a following while weathering accusations of Satanism.
For a quick sense of their sound, 'Become Dust' and 'Diplomatic Immunity' are the ones to hear. They frame that early period pretty well.
Hades mattered because they carved out a specific corner of the Los Angeles metal scene when that mattered. They kept making music through the controversy, which became part of their story.
They formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s with Tim Riple on vocals. Their debut album was 'Lucifer's Domain,' and later records included 'Resisting the Tide' and 'Damnation.' The lineup featured Riple, Scott LePage on bass, and Dan Lorenzo on guitar, with drummers like Paul Smith and Tony Scaglione passing through.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
