Tura Satana (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tura Satana was a rock band named after cult actress Tura Satana. Pioneers of the nu metal genre, they started in the early 90s under the name Manhole. But due to legal reasons they changed it after the release of their first album 'All Is Not Well'. While the music was brutal and powerful, the lyrics of the first album were strongly influenced by singer Tairrie B's hardships as a woman having dealt with a dysfunctional family and violence. Their second (and final) offering was the religious influenced 'Relief Through Release'. Throughout their career, the band has shared the stage with other metal big names such as Human Waste Project, Snot, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Incubus and Limp Bizkit. After they disbanded, Tairrie B went on to form My Ruin.
