After that, and with the same line-up, Medieval Steel dominated the stages from Memphis to New York, but after a while, when they were dealing with Megaforce Records, the band changed the name to Fire Choir and followed a different music direction. Even if there were recording sessions, nothing was official released and Bobby Franklin left Fire Choir to reform again Medieval Steel with Scott Jones on guitars. Songs like "Eyes Of Fire", "To Kill A King" and "Tears In The Rain", were composed that time (1985). During 1986, the band part ways with Megaforce because the development stage was very slow. After that, the line-up changed and Steve Crocker became the new bassist and Chris Cook the new drummer. With this line-up, the band stayed together until 1992 when they dissolved.
