bands you though should have made it.

[Fangface]

No, you're not the only one. I also prefer Refuge Denied over Into The Mirror Black. Into The Mirror Black doesn't have "Battle Angels"!

bands I can quickly think about ; Culprit, Helstar, Znöwhite, Legend, Anvil, Nasty Savage, Diamond Head, Laaz Rockit, Magnum, Jag Panzer, Candlemass ,Savage Grace, Damien Thorne, Metal Church

You said it with Metal Church. I thought "Blessing in Disguise" was equal to any release Metallica ever made. Great band.

I forgot to mention VICIOUS RUMORS

Don't know why they didn't become as popular as Savatage in the early 90's...

I do believe all of these should have been bigger. Some of them shot themselves in the foot, others just got a bad break:
Demon, Praying Mantis, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Marshall Law, Savatage ,Skin, Ten and Trespass.

Did an intervieuw with those guys in the 80's, they were damned friendly, and indeed deserve a LOT more attention ! At that time they released some albums through French label "Dragon Records". This label had some great bands signed up; Heir Apparent, Candlemass, Liege Lord, Exxplorer, Savage Grace, CJSS, .... Don't know what happened to this French label, maybe Fangface knows ??

 

[IOfTheStorm]

the label's name is "Black Dragon"
and you are right about its greatness... so many monuments out of this label .. "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" , "Graceful Inheritance" , "Symphonies Of Steel" .. one of the top cult labels along with Rennaisance records perhaps.

 

[Fangface]

Black Dragon were still selling some stuff only a few years ago... and maybe nowadays as well, who knows
No new releases for a long long time though.

They had a great catalog, that's for sure!
