Original NWOBHM band Blackmayne produced a self-titled album which was released in 1985 on Criminal Response Records. The original album was well received and good reviews followed, but the band had broken up within that first year after just a handful of gigs and any opportunities for touring and promoting were lost at almost the first hurdle. Jump ahead to 2016, and 2 members of the original lineup, Phil McDermott (ex: Straps) and Julian Sackett, got back together to see if they could regenerate the NWOBHM feelings they had 30 years previously. In a very short time they had joined forces with Jay Duke on vocals and Pete Davies (UK Subs) on drums and had written "Chosen Few", "Lionheart" and "Vanishing Point".
