Afflicted

Afflicted's 1992 debut, Prodigal Sun, was an album slightly ahead of its time -- rooted in death metal, but possessing a greater degree of complexity and technicality than most of its contemporaries, a style that is more prevalent nowadays than back in 1992. Though the album received good reviews, it wasn't a major seller, and three years would go by before the band would re-emerge on a new label with a new album, Dawn Of Glory, which reportedly is less death-oriented (it is not reviewed here). The band broke up shortly thereafter. Most recently, two members from that second album lineup have formed the very different Defender, a traditional power metal band.
