I feel the same way. They were in a Judas Priest mobile game; had the main song on the Halloween remake soundtrack; they’ve been number 1 on numerous charts on several occasions around the world; they’re a spectacle on par with Kiss or, this will be the second time I’ve mentioned them today, Gwar.
And yet… they’re unheard-of outside small isolated circles - in my experience, usually only random individuals; I don’t think I’ve ever run into a group of ghost fans in the wild.
I think at least a portion of it is the global situation. Everything is so muddied now compared to even a decade ago. Music, though not entirely diminished, seems to be less in the collective focus - or at least, the focus on music is more scattered than it may have been in times past.






I agree completely
