Hell Fire was started by Lead Guitarist Tony Campos in San Francisco, Ca. in may of 2010. Tony is a pro BMX rider who grew up in the city playing in numerous punk and metal bands through the years. Before focusing on getting a group together that shared the same interests and enthusiasm in music as he did. After a couple of months Tony found a craigslist posting for a bass player named Herman Bandala. A hardcore metal and overall music fanatic, Herman moved from Tijuana, Mexico to San Francisco solely for the music scene with no more than $100 to his name. The first time jamming together Tony & Herman instantly hit it off playing covers from Iron Maiden, Diamond Head and Metallica.
