Pegazus was formed in 1993 in Melbourne, Australia by guitarist Johnny Stoj with his brother Robbie on drums. After cultivating a visual and musical style similar to bands like Judas Priest and Manowar, the band recorded a self-titled album in 1995 with Justin Fleming on vocals and Dave King on bass. The following year, Fleming was replaced by Danny Cecati and the band recorded a new demo and began seeking a record deal. Linking up with Melbourne’s Metal Warriors, the band’s second album Wings of Destiny was released locally in 1997. After receiving a copy of the album, Germany’s Nuclear Blast Records offered the band a contract and released Wings of Destiny worldwide with more distinctive, professional artwork.
