10 Forgotten 80s Metal Bands That VANISHED Overnight #musichistory #metal #80smusic

Rock history isn’t just written by legends—it’s littered with ghosts.
Some bands were on the edge of glory, only to collapse overnight. Others burned bright, then vanished before the world even knew their names.
In this video, we’re diving into ten bands that had it all lined up—only to watch it slip through their fingers. The first half will take you through the hopefuls, the almost-legends whose dreams were crushed by bad luck and industry games.
But stay tuned, because the second half? That’s where the stories get darker. Fame that turned toxic, record deals that killed momentum, and bands who disappeared into myth.
