Kansas City MO, United States (1986 – 2000, 2008 – present)

There are multiple bands by this name.

1) The heavy metal band from the 1980’s - Official Website: http://www.BansheeRocks.com

A Melodic power metal band, that you have to hear, is what you have in Banshee. Coming together from the midwest in the mid 1980’s was Banshee, an incredible heavy metal band. Tommy Lee Flood (vocals) Terry Dunn (guitar), Chuck Hopkins (bass) and Kent Burnham (drums) were artists from Omaha and Kansas City that formed what was to become an underrated band that would make it’s mark on the metal era. The band was formed in a music store warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri in 1986and would go on to release 3 incredible albums against tremendous odds.

‘Cry In The Night’ was the band’s self released EP on cassette in 1986. The album was later re-released up by Metal Blade records on LP and Cassette in 1988. The song, ‘We Want You’ from the album was also released on Metal Massacre 9 by Metal Blade.

Bill Westfall replaced Chuck on bass before their second album and ‘Race Against Time’ was released by Atlantic’s Titanium records in 1988. The popular ‘Shoot Down the Night’ video, from this album, enjoyed decent airplay on MTV’s Headbangers Ball. Due to poor management and Atlantic wanting to focus on other artists and their relationship was short lived. With every song on Race Against Time a stand out, this album was, like many other fateful rippers of the time, way overlooked.

Their third album ‘Take ‘em By Storm’ came out in 1993 on their own Snowblind Records label. It had little national distribution, but sold out quickly. The band went it’s seperate ways soon after that.
