Long-lost NWOBHM band with heavy doom influences fronted by father and son Terry (vocals) and Alan Jones (guitar). Formed in 1978, they managed to release a self-titled demo in 1982. The group developed a cult following in the following years but it wasn't until 1998 that they released their first CD. Their later releases feature re-recordings of songs originally written and recorded (but not released) by the band in the late '70s and early '80s.
