So this a band I knew nothing about before today. I saw that they opened for King's X on a European tour and figured I would check them out. You should, too.

Only two albums from this band at the tail-end of the '80s.

For Sabbath fans, the mid '80s to early '90s periods is kind of a mixed bag. Ian Gillian Sabbath, "Seventh Star" and other releases were really Tony Iommi and friends pushed into being Sabbath by the record company trying to profit from the fading name. "The Eternal Idol" from that period is actually one of my favorite Sabbath albums, both the Tony Martin version and the Ray Gillen version.

This is a band that, unfortunately, never really got much traction. They toured pretty actively for a number of years but personnel turnover and record company issues always seemed to dampen their momentum. They did manage to attract a very loyal fanbase.
