They started off as a glam metal band, being highly influenced by the style of Kiss and Van Halen. They released four albums in the 80s that were in this genre (Metal Magic, Projects in the Jungle, I Am The Night, Power Metal) before deciding to go heavier and invented the groove metal sound on their fifth album Cowboys from Hell.
