Humanimal
Sweden
Hard rock

Humanimal was a musical project featuring Pontus Norgren (Great King Rat) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman).
The main idea was to have a hard rock record with three singers. After some research and testing, they decided to go with only one - Jeff Scott Soto (Talisman, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen).
After that, again Norgren and Jacob were thinking about who could be the best drummer that they should use for that kind of musical project and they chose Tomas Broman (Great King Rat, Electric Boys, Amaze Me, Hughes Turner Project, Glenn Hughes).

An eponymous EP was released in 2001 and a full-length album was released in late 2002. Tribe of Judah is different from Cherone's other work as it features a more industrial/electronic sound. At least one song, "Left for Dead", was (supposedly) slated to be a track on a follow-up Van Halen album which would have featured Cherone.

Streetwalkers were an English rock band formed in late 1973 by two former members of Family, vocalist Roger Chapman and guitarist John "Charlie" Whitney. They were a five piece band which evolved from the Chapman/Whitney band.
After recording the album Chapman/Whitney "Streetwalkers", Chapman and Whitney changed the name of their band to Streetwalkers and Tench joined them as an official band member, when they signed to Phonogram Inc. in 1975. Tench was joined by drummer Nicko McBrain, who would later join Iron Maiden and bass player Jon Plotel. They had previously appeared on a European broadcast for the German TV show Rockpalast with Chapman and Whitney earlier the same year, billed as The Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers. The band's first album, Downtown Flyers (1975) was released in both USA and Europe but did not achieve the anticipated success in USA, although interest in Europe was more encouraging.

Charley Patton (April 1891 (probable) - April 28, 1934), also known as Charlie Patton, was an American Delta blues musician. Considered by many to be the "Father of the Delta Blues", he created an enduring body of American music and inspired most Delta blues musicians. The musicologist Robert Palmer considered him one of the most important American musicians of the twentieth century.
Patton (who was well educated by the standards of his time) spelled his name "Charlie", but many sources, including record labels and his gravestone, use the spelling "Charley."

Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Heavy metal

Breslau was probably (one of) the first German metal bands to sing in their mother tongue. While their debut got positive reactions in German-language countries outside of Germany, they were (wrongly) accused of right-wing ideology and of using Nazi imagery in their homeland, due to their choice of name (see below), some out-of-context lyrics and imagery. This led to bad, negative press - something that would ultimately destroy the band's career. Weinhold -disillusioned by the allegations and the management/label's not addressing them- departed the group in mid-1982, shortly after the release of their debut (and only) album, effectively ending the band.
