Biography

Of Chilean descent, Elizabeth Schall first came into the music scene when she was recruited to join the death metal band Winterthrall in 2003. She departed from the band two years later. [ [http://www.myspace.com/winterthrall Winterthrall's Official MySpace] ]

Schall joined The Iron Maidens on September 2005 following the departure of guitarist/co-founder Josephine Soegijanty, taking the stage name of "Adrianne Smith" (a female version of Adrian Smith).

Sept. 24th!] ] Her tenure with the band lasted a year before she was released due to irreconcilable differences with the band and management.

Shortly before her departure from the Maidens, Schall formed the death metal band Manslaughter with drummer Mike Caffell, guitarist Manuel Villareal and bassist William Toledo. They recorded one EP before Villareal and Toledo left the band. Schall and Caffell renamed the band Dreaming Dead and recruited female guitarist Leslie Medina and bassist Juan Ramirez.

On September 30, 2008, Ibex Moon Records announced they have signed a record deal with Dreaming Dead. The band's debut album "Within One" is set for release on January 20, 2009. [ [http://www.ibexmoonrecords.com/world-dreaming-dead.html Ibex Moon Records - Dreaming Dead] ]

Schall cites Peter Tagtren and Jeff Loomis among her influences, as well as Cryptopsy, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Slayer. [ [http://www.execulink.com/~thingy/interviewelizabethschall.html The Metal Pit - Interview with Elizabeth Schall] ]
