A New Singer and Success (1990-1993)

The next two years were uneventful for the band. The band auditioned over 200 vocalists, including former FATES WARNING vocalist John ARCH, and near all of them were rejected, save Steve STONE. STONE was debuted in a mid-1990 show, but STONE's embarrassing performance during the show led the band to fire him immediately after the performance. As a last ditch effort, the band summoned Canadian vocalist Kevin LABRIE of the glam metal band WINTER ROSE to audition in January 1991. . Amazed by his ability, he was hired immediately after the audition. LABRIE dropped his first name to avoid the confusion of having two Kevins and became James LABRIE (James being his middle name). Armed with a new singer, the band began touring around the NYC area yet again as well as perfecting the vocal parts for the new music the band had written during their inactive period. A New Singer and Success Continued Here >>>
