Not to be confused with Hellion from New York or Hellion from Washington, D.C., this 

Hellion was from Los Angeles,  and was formed in 1982 by vocalist Ann Boleyn , who claimed that her lineage reached back directly to the famously decapitated queen.  In addition, they were managed by none other than Wendy Dio, wife of metal legend Ronnie James Dio.  Despite some buzz created by stunts like pulling up to a gig at L.A.'s Troubadour in a tank, the group's output failed to attract any major labels, so after a few more years of frustration and setbacks (including Barlam, Sweet, and Kelly's departure to form Burn), Boleyn and Schenk took matters into their own hands and released 1987's Screams in the Night album through their newly launched New Renaissance record label. They would do the same with the following year's Postcards from the Asylum EP and 1990's The Black Book LP (for which Boleyn literally authored a novel, as a companion piece)
