After leaving Iron Maiden, Di Anno establishes the rocky Di Anno which featured a keyboardist and refused to play Iron Maiden songs. This not working out, Di Anno returns with Battlezone which is very metal and again delivers. The line up changes between the first and second albums following disagreements with John Hurley and Bob Falck, but Children Of madness again fails to succeed commercially. Years later the band is reformed with a new line up. Albeit this lasts little as Di Anno re-establishes his namesake again!
