The story
Veteran singer James Rivera has carried the torch of a metal front man for the past forty years and counting.
He is known as the voice behind Houston, Texas, based progressive power metal act Helstar; a band established in the early 1980’s that is said to have put the city on the heavy metal map of the world. To this day Rivera is recognized as the sole member who single handedly kept the ensemble alive over the years despite numerous lineup transformations and hardships of the ever changing music industry. and history, please visit www.helstar.com.
DESTINY’S END, a technical, melodic power metal onslaught was a formed in Los Angeles, CA, in1998 at the time when HELSTAR was considered to have disbanded and the power metal genre was experiencing a resurgence. The outfit enjoyed several years of success with the release of two albums, coupled by US and European tours which proved to resurface Rivera’s name strongly. Alas, the band parted ways in 2001.
