Steeler drummer Mark Edwards teamed up with former Tytan vocalist Kal Swan, and ex-Mansfield members Doug Aldrich on guitar and Jerry Best on bass, in the band Lion . In addition to Lion, he also recorded with 3rd Stage Alert, whose 1984 mini-album was produced by Yngwie Malmsteen, and released the Code of Honor four-song EP as a solo artist. In 1986, he was approached to join the newly reformed Riot and flew to New York to track drums for their Thundersteel album. He decided against joining the group and stuck with Lion whose debut album, Dangerous Attraction , was released in 1987. Edwards suffered serious injuries in a motocross accident in 1989, which ended his career as a drummer. Edwards, whose real name is Mark Schwarz, moved back to Texas to fully recover and has since become a successful businessman, including CEO and Executive Chairman of the Wilhelmina International, Inc modeling agency.
