Token of success for heavy metal band? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gold disc

'token of success' is the definition.

'heavy metal band?' is the wordplay.
'heavy metal' becomes 'gold'.
'band?' becomes 'disc' (**).
'gold'+'disc'='GOLD DISC'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for gold disc that I've seen before include "award for record sales" , "Award for sales in music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
