The group were influenced by the new wave of British heavy metal and other successful European metal bands such as Scorpions and Accept. After an EP and two albums, Full Moon's Eyes, Ecstasy and Danger and Too Hot, lack of a commercial success resulted in a major line-up change for 1987's Feelings of Fury, following which the band disbanded.[2]. In 2011-2012 They did another line-up change and recorded the EP Last Tribe Standing that was released in 2015. Another major line-up change happened in 2018.
