 * Comment. The band does not seem to have gained much recognition, but they were signed to an independent label, released albums, and toured.  This indicates some notability.  As a side note, the label with whom they were signed also represented Katrina and the Waves, who were certainly notable, indicating it was not an insignificant company. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  20:03, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. It is true that band did not gain much recognition (at least during its existence, in the last couple of years metal was revived in former Yugoslav republics, and old bands, including Warriors, won some new fans) but it is notable as one of the rare bands on the SFR Yugoslav Pop and Rock scene, which was mostly mainstream rock oriented scene, whose sound could be defined as a classic 80s metal, more notable bands like Kerber, Divlje Jagode, Osmi Putnik or Griva being more hard rock. The band is also notable as a side project of famous drummer Vicko Milatović. As RepublicanJacobite wrote, they were singed to a notable Canadian record label. I would add that PGP RTB was also a notable record label, being one of the two biggest labels in former Yugoslavia, releasing albums by Riblja Čorba, Đorđe Balašević, Bajaga i Instruktori, Disciplina Kičme, Kerber, Osmi Putnik, Pomoranča, Rambo Amadeus, Leb i Sol and other notable artists.

 * Comment. The band could not have been much popular due to the new wave, post-punk and alternative expansion in Yugoslavia. The reason why the band is notable is the fact that this is one of the few Yugoslav bands directly influenced by the NWOBHM and the fact that they played outside Yugoslavia and released an album for a foreign record label, which was not an easy thing to do in former Yugoslavia for much more popular and notable acts.

 * Comment. Pretty much what everybody above said: Not getting attention by the mainstream or even not by metalheads doesn't mean a band is deleted. They were officially signed and officially released albums, the latter issue should mean automatic notablility no questions asked. But more importantly, the band IS sourced- look on Encyclopedia Metallum and Discogs. Angry Shoplifter (talk) 05:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. And after all, the band was a former Yugoslav / Canadian band, and band's members were Serbian and Canadian musicians... Quite a rare case of an international metal band, at least on the Serbian and former Yugoslav scene. Ostalocutanje (talk)

 * Comment. Lacks a few sources, and Encyclopedia Metallum and discogs are not good sources, but perhaps not surprising given their albums are from the 80s. Two albums on what appear to be significant enough labels may be enough to scrape through WP:BAND.--Michig (talk) 07:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, better sources sure wouldn't hurt, but per Michig I'll call their accomplishments sufficient to satisfy WP:BAND. Huon (talk) 15:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
