Heavy metal play Crossfire hailed from Belgium, where they originally formed as a kindling careen band named The Onion Dolls. Finding themselves, care many European compatriots, swept up by the excitement of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (and perchance keenly cognizant that tough was already on the way out), vocalist/guitarist Nero Neerinckx, guitar player Marc new wave Caelenberge, bassist Patrick new wave Londerzele and drummer Peter De Windt got their first break from Holland's Aardschock Magazine, which featured 2 of their songs in their 1982 Metal Clogs compiling. When Neerinckx all of a sudden throw in the towel the band (later on to be confined for murdering a officer!), he simply opened the door for de Windt to take up his place as frontman, and, after the enlisting of new drummer Chris de Brauwer, this adjust recorded Crossfire's debut record album, See You in Hell, for Mausoleum Records. Released in 1983 to selfsame favourable reviews, its melodic and energetic weighed down alloy bordered on as-yet-undeveloped slam, and drew comparisons to former contemporary European bands care Helloween, Angus and regular the mighty Accept. 1985's soph Second Attack (where they added arcsecond guitar player Rudi Van de Sijpe) pretty a great deal replicated this recipe, though non the far-flung acceptance, and its overly rush and uninspired heir, 1986's Sharpshooter (featuring in time some other newfangled guitar instrumentalist in Jacky D'Hondt), injury up losing them their recording contract, to kicking. Crossfire managed a terminal live album the undermentioned year before quietly fading into obscurity, although de Windt hung on for a couple more age with German metal band Ostrogoth.
