After two years with little success, in 1981 Deverill was headhunted by the Tygers Of Pan Tang and was replaced by Carl Sentance. With little improvement in fortune, the band soldiered on for a further two years. In 1983 Razz was sacked, replaced by Dixie Lee, and Graham Bath took over second guitar. The band also finally made it to vinyl by contributing a track to "Heavy Metal Heroes vol.2". The following year Campbell successfully auditioned for Motörhead , but this also led to a 1984 support slot on their tour. He was replaced by namesake Phil Volkins, and Steve Hopgood (formerly of Shy and '''Chinatown''') took over drums. A further two years of failure to get a big break led to the band's disintegration in 1986. An album, '''Rise Up''' was released posthumously in the same year. Most of the members at that time moved on to other bands. Carl Sentance became a member of the Geezer Butler Band ; in the 1990s he joined Swiss hard rock legend Krokus . Guitarist Graham Bath worked with Paul Di'Anno in the bands '''Battlezone''' and '''Killers'''. Bassist Nick Hughs joined '''Idol Rich'''. Drummer Steve Hopgood joined '''Wild!''' and has also played in '''Tank''' and Di'Anno's Killers. As a band, Persian Risk had little impact on heavy metal, as they produced a single album that was quickly forgotten. They are significant for the members who moved on to other, sometimes more successful metal acts. DISCOGRAPHY Singles
