Cities

Cities had a strong underground following thanks to some excellent demos, but for some reason this album didn't catch on. Annihilation Absolute was a fine classy power metal album, though it could be argued that the album didn't really capture the essence of the band as shown on their demos and live shows. Drummer A.J. Pero was the drummer for Twisted Sister -- he played with Cities in their early days, left for Twisted Sister, and then returned to record the album. The band presumably broke up soon after the album's release, as they disappeared from public view. Many years later (around 1995), some members (Pero, Angell, possibly others) formed a band called Father Time, but they were never able to record.
