In 1992 the remaining members of Triumph recruited Phil Xenidis , a Canadian guitarist known for his work with Aldo Nova and Frozen Ghost . Moore was the principal songwriter and lead singer for 1992’s Edge of Excess , with additional help from guitarist-producer Mladen Zarron. Rick Santers also remained on hand as touring guitarist/keyboardist and singer for the 1993 North American tour, singing Rik Emmett’s parts in fan favourites “Magic Power” and “Fight the Good Fight”. Initial reception of the album from American radio seemed quite favourable, until Triumph’s recording label, a subsidiary of Polygram , dissolved unexpectedly in 1993.
