- Sound Barrier
Sound Barrier was a heavy metal band from
Los Angeles from 1980 to 1987.Biography
Sound Barrier was most notable for the fact that all four members were
African American , which gained them significant publicity, but which did not result in commercial success. They were signed byMCA Records , but their first album, "Total Control", sold just 12,000 copies, and MCA dropped the group. Two subsequent releases, the self-released EP "Born to Rock" (1984) and the Metal Blade LP "Speed of Light" (1986), also sold poorly, and the band split up in 1987.Lead singer Bernie Kimbell (aka Bernie K.) and drummer Dave "Skavido" Brown briefly joined the metal band Masi (led by Italian guitarist
Alex Masi ). The same two members also were part of the band Total Eclipse, which released its only album in 1992.Members
