Zed Yago

Fronted by an impressive female vocalist by the name of Jutta Weinhold, Zed Yago rose to prominence in the late 80's, with their single Black Bone Song generating some major airplay. Weinhold's vocals are strong and powerful, reminding some of Doro from Warlock, while the music was prime anthemic Euro metal, much like Accept at the time. They released two albums in 1988, but by the following year internal problems had taken their toll, and the band dissolved. The record label wanted more, however, and so Jutta and drummer Bubi recruited a new lineup, and a new band, Velvet Viper, was born, releasing two albums in 1991 and 1992.

Fast forward to 1997, with original guitarist Jimmy Durand and new vocalist (and now wife) Yvonne starting up Zed Yago once again, the new lineup also featuring the returning drummer Bubi. A new album, The Invisible Guide, was released in late 2005, and five years later the Durands, with more new members, put out Pirates From Hell.
