While it’s tougher for some, some bands that tried to deserve to be remembered.
Other times, artists likeRonnie James Diofind their way into multiple successful bands, further cementing their legacy.
However,some heavy metal bands that aren’t remembered as well still left their markon music history.
Regardless, these bands still play an important role as they also helped pave the way.
However,after only one more album release in 1989, they had disbanded by the early ’90s.
When Heavens Edge started their career with Capitol Records, it seemed like the sky was the limit.
In 1990, they released their debut self-titled album, which reached number 141 on theBillboard200.
The band then spent years trying to get the record out, but it didn’t happen until 1998.
Digital Summer was a group that did things their way.
There was no major label,it was just them constantly betting on themselves.
Their success also brought them to the biggest stages in heavy metal.
Eventually, they found themselves opening for bands such as 12 Stones, Taproot, and Nonpoint.
After their success there, they ended up on a huge tour opening for Trivium and Volbeat.
In 1980, the band released their self-titled debut album, which was powered by the title track.
This album is considered a seminal work of the genre and cemented the band’s place in history.
Perhaps the biggest downfall of the band was the lack of new music over the years.
For Trixter, their debut self-titled album achieved this status.
They followed up withHear!in 1992, but it didn’t quite have the same success.
Then, after their 1994 release, the band didn’t put out any new music until 2012.
During their period on top,they got to open for Poison, Warrant, and KISS.
Their latest release came in 2015, but there hasn’t been anything new from them since.
When the band first started, Phil Labonte from All That Remains served as the lead singer.
With their sound set, they was ready to take on the 2000s.
They were being featured by MTV andfound themselves performing alongside the likes of Alice Cooper and Warrant.
This would also lead them to a tour with KISS.
After some lineup changes, the band went on to release a few more albums.
Numbers like these are reminiscent of legends such as Black Sabbath and Motorhead.
They are trailblazers and have demonstrated how a great sound and hard work can pay off.
