This week’s Guest DJ is guitarist Jason Ashcraft from Sacramento, California’s up and coming “Science Fiction Power Metal” band HELION PRIME!
Helion Prime was first conceived from a common love of metal and all things science. The band was founded when Jason Ashcraft (Dire Peril) asked Heather Michele (Graveshadow) to form a project with him. Between the two, they had worked with such artists as Mark Briody (Jag Panzer), Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), Ralph Scheepers (Primal Fear), Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon/Star One), and Niklas Isfeldt (Dream Evil).
The concept: power metal with themes based on actual scientific theories with the occasional sci-fi tribute. The name “Helion Prime” was borrowed from an alien planet featured in the film “Chronicles of Riddick,” a movie the two were great fans of.
Their debut “Helion Prime” album was independently released in February 2016 .
