Keyboard player Steven Banx is Frank's younger brother.
The band's first two albums are now some of the rarest metal collectables in the world. They were reissued unofficially in very limited quantities in late 2002-2003. The reissues have no label or copyright info and have two bonus tracks each.
Not to be confused with Angel Dust (later Asmodina) from Darmstadt who released a demo in 1985.
