They were successful in the mid '80s until the creative differences and failed attempt at mainstream with their album ''Eat the Heat'' broke the band in the late '80s. They reformed in the early '90s with a [[Darker and Edgier]] sound but after a couple of years broke up again. Proper reformation didn't happen until 2009.
