HESS was formed in July 2010 when Melani Hess (vocals) decided to start a music project different from her former band Euphemya (Nightwish covers). To that end, she summoned drummer Luis Dufour from Fire & Steel (Manowar covers) and guitarist Marcos Schaimne (former bands: Iron Mask, Redeemer and Presagio). Some months later, guitarist Ariel Schefer joined the band; and after a short search for bass players, Nicolas Copani (from Nocturnal Howl) became the fifth member of the band. The main objective of the band was that of being a tribute to Classic Heavy Metal, playing cover songs from great bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, among others. The vocal register of the singer has given the band an original touch: her soprano voice together with Heavy Metal music have achieved a special merger. In November 2011, HESS began the recording of their first demo, which was released in March 2012. It consists of two songs: Blood & Iron and The Giant (in memory of Ronnie James Dio). At the beginning of 2013, Marcos Schaimne left the band to join Diva Satánica. In his place entered guitarist Diego Martarello. HESS is still playing live shows and at the same time composing songs, trying to find its own sound. At the end of 2013, HESS started the recording of what would be their first album, which consists of 9 songs of their own. The album called “Hagalaz” was released on 27th October 2014 in digital version.
