Lethal

Formed in Kentucky in 1982 by the Cook brothers Eric and Glen, Lethal scored some fine reviews for their 1990 debut, Programmed, a solid progressive metal album in the early Queensryche mold. It would be five years before a followup EP (Your Favorite God) was released, followed by Poison Seed a year later in 1996. By this time, though, a major style change had occurred, the band dropping the Queensryche/progressive tendencies and instead opting for a heavier, slightly grunge influence instead. Whether because of the style change or not, they disappeared from view soon afterward. They came back together in June 2006, and are apparently still active.
