History & Biography
This band was formed in Hawaii in 1983 by guitarist Brian Spalding and singer Angelo Jensen who had migrated from Kaos. Demo 1984 was the first release. The group opened for Ratt in January 1985. Another opportunity came when the band opened for Judas Priest in December 1986. With the assistance of producer and contact Rick Asher Keefer, who had worked with Adam Bomb, Michael Furlong of Wild Dogs and TKO, the band signed for three albums to Roadrunner Records in 1986. The album's cover depicted the band drunk and in the studio as snapped by the producer. The band had wanted a different cover, but the label simply picked the photograph for the front.

The band's second and third albums (Hardball of 1987 and Live respectively) were recorded, but never actually released. The band's rhythm section left the fold only four days after the act relocated to Los Angeles, California - ostensibly because they missed their girlfriends. The band was active for six years there. Anthony Pantaleo was the singer and guitarist from 1987 to 1992. The Collected Works - Volume #1 and 2 were issued independently in 2002. They included the Demo '91. 2009 brought a full-length demo called Afterlife.

Native Tongue was an acoustic rock band. Black Rose was a California-based Thin Lizzy tribute band. Flametal mixed flamenco with metal. Two members ended up in Champions Of Terminal and were using leftover Aaronsrod material.

In the Torah, the brother of Moses is called Aaron and carries a magical walking stick that does all sorts of wonderful things.
