Destiny's End

Destiny's End formed when the members of New Eden split up, with a guitarist and the original vocalist staying behind and the rest deciding to form a new band. Armed with ex-Helstar vocalist James Rivera (who also served briefly with New Eden), the band released two outstanding albums of 80's-inspired melodic speed metal, not too dissimilar from early Helstar or, perhaps, Sanctuary. Rivera's vocals are in top form as always and the guitar work leads of Dan DeLucie and Perry Grayson are especially noteworthy. A highly recommended band for 80's power metal purists.

Following the release of their second album, Transition, Destiny's End inexplicably disappeared. Dan DeLucie has since been involved in a new project called Crescent Shield, which also features Michael Grant from Onward (link below). Drummer Brian Craig was later seen in Seven Witches, and he was for a time joined there by vocalist Rivera. Perry Grayson formed a band called Artisan (a band that is still active), though he has left that band to pursue a different musical course.
