Release : Metal Queen [Remastered]
Year : 1984
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

In 1984, Lee Aaron was introduced to the headbanging youth of Canada and Europe as a sword-wielding warrior princess on the cover of her Metal Queen album. Defiant and sexy in teased bangs and a Bronze Age gold-and-fur ensemble, the Ontario-born singer known to her parents as Karen Lynn Greening quickly became a heavy metal icon across the Great White North. The video for the record’s anthemic title track featured the scantily clad singer in chains, tangling with tarantulas and dangerous snakes, and even being set on fire—all while singing her face off with incredible power. The album itself appeared right around the time female-fronted metal bands like Los Angeles’ Bitch, Belgium’s Acid and Germany’s Warlock (featuring famous blonde wailer Doro Pesch) made their full-length debuts, putting Aaron at the forefront of that particular vanguard.

Info:

Aaron participated in musical theatre from age five to 17, and was a member of her high school's concert and jazz bands. Her initial exposure to heavy metal took place during high school, after a successful audition for a local Brampton, Ont, rock band known as Lee Aaron. Assuming the band's name as her own, as a solo artist with a supporting back-up band Lee Aaron became celebrated as "Canada's Metal Queen" for her early popularity in the heavy metal genre. Aaron's first LP, The Lee Aaron Project, was released in 1982. Her initial notoriety came as a result of her flirtatiously sexual image, which Aaron's manager advised her to project. While this image was highly effective in rock videos, she was never entirely comfortable with it.
