What stopped them from achieving mainstream success?

Despite only having 2 hits they're pretty well known anon

Theyre definitely a very successful band, but probably not mainstream because of the unremarkable vocals, and dull hooks.

They were like the Pixies of metal: they inspired a whole genre despite only being known for two songs

They were too simultaneously esoteric and goofy to be a mainstream radio band. They didn't sing about getting laid and having the blues, at least not so directly.
