They run in the same orbit as Savatage, Iced Earth, Forbidden, Overkill and Omen, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nevermore, Testament, Megadeth, Mother Love Bone and Alice in Chains, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
