Overview

Bands enjoyed by the Hellions

Most of these appear on the wall in the Investigate the Hellions hideout mission given by Azuria to level 1-5 heroes. This map is unique. The names of the bands and the posters are apparently intended to give a glimpse into the musical tastes of Hellions.

Possible out-of-game allusions in the names of these bands are to goth-metal band Fields of the Nephilim and to heavy metal vocalist King Diamond.
