The band scored one hit, the 1990 power ballad "I'll See You in My Dreams",[9] written by Alan Pasqua and Mark Spiro.[10]

Giant disbanded in the early 1990s after recording two albums, but resurfaced in 2000 minus Alan Pasqua and released the album III in late 2001.

In December 2009, Frontiers Records announced that they would release Giant's fourth studio album Promise Land in 2010. The band included Terry Brock (Strangeways, Seventh Key) on lead vocals and John Roth (Winger) on guitars. Dann Huff was not a part of the band due to his busy schedule, but he co-wrote seven songs and guested on guitar on two. The album was released on February 26, 2010 for Europe and March 9, 2010 for the US.[11]

Giant released their first studio album in 12 years, entitled Shifting Time, on January 21, 2022.[12]
