Hell For Leather
It’s 1988, and teenage metalhead, Cici Stevens, is stuck in Abbeville, Louisiana. Everything at high school is bake sales and pep rallies, but something sinister slithers below the surface … All Cici wants is to rock her guitar just like her heavy metal heroes, Satan’s Rainbow, but that can only be a dream, right?
Soon, Cici discovers the school’s dark secret, and she has to make a choice that will blow her world apart.
Over in Los Angeles, Satan’s Rainbow is making their big comeback after their lead singer was involved in a fatal accident that ended a fan’s life. Their new album, Night Night in the Forever Box, is ready to go. So is their world tour … and so is the masked maniac with a deadly axe to grind.
Satan’s Rainbow is soon involved with more stiffs than riffs as something evil begins to stalk the band.
Will Cici escape Abbeville and get to Los Angeles to meet Satan’s Rainbow?
Will there be a Satan’s Rainbow left if she does?
Things are about to get heavy as terror goes Hell for Leather.

Full of 80s nostalgia, this was a ton of fun! A whole new kinda 'death' metal, twisted metal and even a hint of a Master of Puppets….
A sinister, addictive tale of positivity, determination and revenge. A story about being yourself, living life to the full, and fuck anyone who doesn't like it. It's empowering, humorous and gripping.
Packed with brilliantly immersive descriptions, an atmosphere you can really feel, and complete with tense cliffhangers, it's a Hell of a ride. And not only that, but as always, David gives us some brilliantly inventive kills. If you want imaginative, brutal kills, Irons is definitely your man!
A rock chick's dream, and also her nightmares, combine to make this awesome, metal gorefest of curses and female rage revenge!
Can we get an Encore please!! 🤘😍🤘
