Icon is a Doom metal act. Their sound grew out of Dieselboy, Deep Purple and Judas Priest. Those roots explain a lot about how Icon arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Y&T, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Great White and W.A.S.P., sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tesla, Alice Cooper, Harlequin, Carmine Appice and Lizzy Borden, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 14 connections around Icon, reaching back through Dieselboy and forward to Tesla.
