STALLION (FRA) ... SHORT BAND HISTORY!

Heavy Metal band from Paris, France. Active in the 80's, and unlike many of their colleagues during this period they had lyrics in English instead of French. Down below you can listen to the second one from 1987.

In 1983, William (Bass) and Laurent (Guitar), longtime friends eager to form a Heavy Metal band, met Draggy (Vocals) and were immediately captivated by his vocal abilities and talent. They knew that with him they could truly realize their dream: STALLION was born!

The friends had a clear idea of ​​what they wanted to do: a powerful, edgy, and melodic band with prominent and aggressive guitars. So they began searching for a drummer and a second guitarist. For over a year, they tried out, but none of them were quite right...

Finally, through patience and tenacity, Jo (Drums) and Pascal (Guitar) joined the band.

STALLION then began rehearsing, developing its repertoire, and performing concerts, the band's favorite activity. They even participated in the France Festival in Choisy-le-Roi in July 1985

The band attaches great importance to their look and equipment, which is quite impressive for a young band at the time.

In 1987, the group, now mature enough and with a solid repertoire, recorded some demos to promote themselves and gain recognition... See Hard Force No. 6, April 1987.

Some labels were interested but asked the band to change the language of their lyrics to French, which the band refused...

Unfortunately, STALLION would not release any albums and would eventually disband...
