Biography

Edit

Dokken is an American heavy metal band formed in 1976 and was one of the classic hair metal bands of the 80s. The original band line-up was Don Dokken, George Lynch, Juan Croucier and Mick Brown of whom Dokken and Brown remain to this day.

After they had released Breaking the Chains in Europe to moderate success, they released the album which broke them, Tooth and Nail in 1984. Under Lock and Key continued their success as their second platinum selling record. Their greatest commercial success came with Back for the Attack in 1987 which reached No.13 in the US Billboard charts.

After the release of their next album, Beast from the East (1988), the band split as a result of creative differences. They reunited in 1993 and released Dysfunctional in 1995. They continue to tour and release albums to the present day. Currently they are working on what will be their tenth studio album, Lightening Strikes Again.
