Helios Creed
Barry Johnson (born on November 3, 1953), known professionally as Helios Creed, is an American guitarist, singer and bandleader. He first came to prominence in the mid-1970s with the San Francisco band Chrome, who were considered an early influence on industrial rock. Chrome broke up in the mid-1980s when founding member Damon Edge moved to Paris. Helios then recruited some local hard rock musicians and launched a solo career. Early life Creed was born Barry Johnson in Long Beach, California, and moved to Hawaii when he was six. His brother, two years older, introduced him to psychedelic music. When he was 12, his parents bought him his first guitar, and he became a serious student of the instrument immediately. Creed has said that he invented his trademark sound while trying to replicate the sound he heard in his head while "listening to Black Sabbath on LSD on headphones when I was a teenager". He moved to San Francisco in the mid-1970s, where he joined Chrome. History O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kiss To The Brain
''Kiss to the Brain'' is an album by the rock band Helios Creed. It was released through Amphetamine Reptile Records. Songs from the supporting tour were released on '' Your Choice Live Series''. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' determined that "the guitar pops up as more than just a guidepost, and the contrast makes the moments of otherworldly radio static, menacing vocoder distortions and sci-fi freakouts all the more effective." AllMusic wrote: "This is still not anywhere near mainstream hard rock—there's plenty of bizarre lyrics and spacy sound effects, even on the hard rock songs—but it does display that Helios Creed has the ability to create more than unstructured sonic explorations."
