Violet Wind

Band,

A.k.a. Battery (8)

Formed in 1984 as Violet Wind (wanting a color schemed name ala Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, etc.) but changed the name to Battery in summer 1987 after fans and people from the local scene continued to mistakenly call them "Violent" Wind. After Battery, starting in 1994, Andy Boyer was in S.O.S. (Ohio-based cover band) with ex-Purgatory / ex-Centurion / Hatrix guitarist Dave Felton, Hatrix bassist Kevin Skelly, and ex-Torment / ex-Ritual / ex-Arenah / ex-Rotterdam drummer Emery Ceo. They've played many covers of various bands, including Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Slayer, and Metallica and are still active. Recently, Andy has also been singing in an acoustic side project called Hollow with Kevin Skelly (Hatrix).
