Additional notes
There are many rumors about John Cyriis (who together with Chuck Profus is one of the founding members of the band) but only few of them are proven to be true. He has been known under several names but his identity and location, however remains a mystery.

Agent Steel disbanded in 1988 and officially reunited again in 1999. They had to change their name in 2001 to Order of the Illuminati due to legal pressure from original vocalist John Cyriis, but the change was not permanent. In 2003, the band returned with the original name Agent Steel, and instead called the new album Order of the Illuminati.
