Exit the Dragon, Urge Overkill's fifth album, came out on DGC on September 26, 1995, and the Chicago band followed Saturation with something noticeably darker. Nash Kato and Eddie "King" Roeser split the vocals and guitars, Roeser also handling bass, with John Rowan on drums, and the result is a hangover of a record: big riffs and swagger, but with the lights turned low and the party thinning out.

It turned out to be the last Urge Overkill album for a long while, with nothing new until Rock & Roll Submarine in 2011. Yet it also peaked at number 129 on the Billboard 200, still their best showing on the American album chart.
