André Corbin

Guitarist André Corbin joined Helstar in 1987, moved to Los Angeles, signed with Metal Blade records, and recorded the "A Distant Thunder" album, followed a year or so later by the dual guitar masterpiece "Nosferatu". After a disappointing tour for Nosferatu, André left the band along with drummer Frank Ferreira and spent the next few years making demos, and suffering with undependable vocalist.

In '94 André was recognized for his instrumentals in "Guitar for the practicing musician" magazine. By 1996, frustrated with the years of sacrifice and poverty, André walked away from the music scene altogether, though he still plays guitar to this day.

André has found his success in life through raising his children, and has done very well in business for himself over the last ten years. His current creative outlet is his Florida based skateboard company "Ghetto Skateboards".

He still loves metal but has no immediate plans to return to music.
