Their early work emphasized on typical metal imagery of constant rocking and gritty reality. In 1987 the band changed their name to Digger and [[RatedCForCash changed their sound to appeal the mainstream]]. This didn't work out, so the band disbanded. In the early 90's, the band was put back together and it took a [[DarkerAndEdgier darker approach]] and never looked back since.
