Inspired by old school 80s speed metal, Hellionight is a raw and violent blast from the past playing high intensity riffs with an in-your-face attitude. The band started out as a side project by Omar Zainal, the lead guitarist of the Bahrain Black Metal band ‘Smouldering In Forgotten.’ He wanted to create a band that played blackened thrash and speed metal with a very heavy early 80s influence.

The band released a self-titled four song EP in 2016 and have since put together a 3-piece line up and played gigs in Bahrain and in the UAE. Their most notable achievement is opening up for the Brazilian thrash metal band ‘Nervosa’ in Dubai in early 2020.

The band’s sound is influenced by old school metal legends like Sodom, Motorhead, Venom, and Slayer, with thrashing riffs and catchy song writing.
