Trojan was an early speed/heavy metal act from Wigan, England. Unfortunately for them they had trouble gaining any traction in the UK NWOBHM scene, despite recording several demos. They were finally picked up by the Roadrunner label out of Holland, who released their debut album 'Chasing The Storm' in 1985. In 1987 the band changed their name to Lethal, and reportedly recorded an album or demo titled "Twilight Sound" in 1988, which was never released. Later in 1988 Graeme Wyatt, Pete Wadeson, along with Phil Gavin and Johnny Lee Jackson, would rename themselves Taliön, releasing the album 'Killing the World' on the Major Records label. 3 names 2 (or maybe 3?) albums, a few demos, and history. A common Robscurity tale.
Some fun info: Tröjan translates into "The Shirt" in swedish. When Tröjan toured in Sweden their merchandise sold out like hot cakes, everyone wanted a "The Shirt" shirt.
