This week we talk about songs and albums by artists that the artists themselves have tried to lock away and bury! This is the continuation of our series that explores what happened when bands that had success in the 80s attempted to follow trends and remain relevant in the 1990s. Listen in as we discuss the varying degrees to which this worked, or where we had to ask, “What were they thinking?”

What’s this InObscuria thing? Our podcast exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This time around we are bringing you the most lost of the lost. The decade of the 90s was such a polarizing time for older bands that were still trying to remain relevant. Options for 80s hard rock and glam metal bands: get heavier, go alternative or grunge, go industrial, re-brand, or stay the course…

Songs this week include:

1. Freak Of Nature – “Enemy” from Gathering Of Freaks (1994)
2. Winger – “Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)” from Pull (1993)
3. Slaughter – “American Pie” from Revolution (1997)
4. The Newlydeads – “Free Weapons” from The Newlydeads (1997)
5. Scorpions – “Mysterious” from Eye II Eye (1999)
6. Europe – “All Or Nothing” from Prisoners In Paradise (1991)
7. Chris Gaines – “White Flag” from Garth Brooks in… The Life Of Chris Gaines (1999)
