- 【Pls look at the top comment first】In the glorious 1980s, Banshee was an icon of power metal. Formed in 1986 in the American Midwest, Banshee shared the image and sound with the glam/metal scene and even the band was also considered as a part of 1980s hair metal troop. Huge fans of Banshee must have recognized the very powerful guitars and intense vocals of the band as the power metal essence of Banshee in most of their works.
In the spring of 1986, guitarist Terry Dunn formed Banshee. Apart from Terry Dunn, this line-up in the video includes two original members, Tommy Lee Flood and Kent Burnham, and one new member Bill Westfall, who replaced the former bassist Chuck Hopkins in the second album.
These four members formed the most classic line-up of Banshee. Nowadays, the reformed Banshee features a totally new line-up. But I trust most people know Banshee from this legendary formation during the glorious years of the band in the two epic albums in 1989 and 1993. This video is made as a salute to Banshee's second studio album "Race Against Time (1989)".
When Banshee was founded in 1986, two founding members, vocalist Tommy Lee Flood and the original bassist Chuck Hopkins were from the popular Midwest touring act Lick. In 1986, Banshee put out five songs on their mini debut "Cry In Night Night" which Chuck Hopkins still played in. The debut proved Banshee was absolutely a powerful icon coming out to hit the heavy metal scene.
From the debut, people heard how awesome Tommy's singing was and what a wonderful band Banshee was. After the debut, Chuck Hopkins left the band, who started to pursue his career in Los Angeles. But Banshee continued to win popularity. In 1988, Banshee's mini debut was reissued, motivating the band to continue making new album with new member Bill Westfall. Banshee's most classic line-up was formally born in 1989.
A certain number of fans consider "Race Against Time" as Banshee's best album. Besides, this album can also win a wider range of target fans who are fond of 1980s hair metal, because some of the songs really feature nostalgic hair metal taste. Moreover, the first ballad of Banshee also came out in this epic album as one of the most precious works by this power metal legend.
The legendary image of Banshee was from this album "Race Against Time" and the next album "Take 'em By Storm (1993)". Of course the first three albums by Banshee mean a lot to the band, seeing the glorious years when Banshee was active before they split up. In "Race Against Time", this outstanding work "Missing You" is a marvel among all their works as the first ballad from the band.
Tommy Lee Flood's singing on this ballad is soul-stirring, setting off the theme about a separate and memorable love. "Missing You" can make whoever first listens to Banshee's album fall in love with the band as a gentle side of this power metal band. Another precious ballad by Banshee in my mind is "Memories" from their next album "Take 'Em by Storm (1993)".
The opening track "Shoot Down The Night" is the lead single from this album "Race Against Time" with a music video. Reviewing its video, of course we can consider Banshee as a great role on the hair metal scene. Let the flaming moment go on with "All Alone", "Race Against Time", "Call Of The Wild", "Precious Metal", "Desire", "Get It On The Run" and "Drive Like Hell".
The reunion shows were played in 1999, 2000, and 2008. In the following years, the band had to be reformed. In 2012, Banshee's fourth album wasreleased. This time the album was recorded by the reformed Banshee with two new members on lead vocals and drums and original bassist Chuck Hopkins was back to the band and recorded the 2012 album "Mindslave" with Terry Dunn.
In 2019, Banshee's latest album "The Madness" was released, featuring a totally new line-up. The current vocalist is George Call, who joined Banshee in the 2012 album "Mindslave". Banshee kept power metal creating and performing after the band was reformed. What means a lot to Banshee's fans is a superb compilation in 2016, combining "Race Against Time" and "Cry In The Night" together plus a bonus track "We Want You".

One of my favourites from this band!
Yes, dear, so is mine. This is one of the most precious ballads of Banshee. This power metal band has few ballads. "Missing You" is their first ballad.👏👍💯💖🙂
Wow, this sounds so similar to the German Hard Rock/Metal Band, The Scorpions! Banshee, by the way, is a term for ghost or poltergeist. There is a band called Siouxsie and the Banshees, were a British Rock Band. They have a good song called "Dear Prudence."
Yes, dear👍. What a precious ballad by a power metal band! The world "Banshee" showed evil wonen when I searched for the band pictures, so I had to type "Banshee band" to find these pictures.😃👏💖 By the way, I know that British band, a very old and notable band, but they were a post-punk and alternative rock band. Their styles are not my cups of tea.😂
😃 great balland
Indeed, dear. This song let us Hear the gentle side of Banshee, soulful and tuneful.💖👏😃
