about
Founded in Germany by blues singer Jutta Weinhold (ex-Breslau) in 1985, Zed Yago were a traditional rock concern very much in keeping with the sound pioneered by fellow nationals, Warlock. Jutta’s vocal style owed much to Doro from Warlock, but also saluted American singer Ronnie James Dio. Her band comprised Jimmy and Gunnar on guitar, Tach on bass and larger-than-life bald powerhouse drummer Bubi (b. Claus Reinholdt). They first attracted mainstream attention in 1988 with the release of ‘Black Bone Song’. This was followed by their second album and a tour, one concert of which was broadcast live on BBC Radio 1. They vanished in 1990 having failed to make any lasting impact. Weinhold resurfaced with Dave Moore, Lars Ratz, Peter Szigeti and Franco Zuccaroli in Velvet Viper, who released a solitary album in 1991. Zed Yago is a German metal band which was founded in 1985. Jutta Weinhold debuted as vocalist in 1988 on the album "From Over Yonder". Besides Warlock they have been the first heavy metal band with a female singer in Germany. Their first album was top album of the month in the music magazine "Metal Hammer". After their second album "Pilgrimage" Zed Yago disbanded in 1989 due to being unsuccessful. Jutta Weinhold started the band "Velvet Viper" and later on had her own solo-album in 1993. Guitarist Jimmy Durand revived Zed Yago in 1997 with his wife, Yvonne Durand, on vocals. This lineup released The Invisible Guide (2005) and Pirates from Hell (2010). User-contri
