Additional notes
Founded by Tony Dolan, Atomkraft had several line-ups before settling as a trio that included Rob Matthews on guitar and Ged Wolf, who happened to be the brother of Venom's manager.

With the realease of their debut "Future Warriors" in 1985 some comparsions to Venom were made, despite the fact that Atomkraft didn't have the same Black Metal edge.

Dolan left the band and the remaining members found replacements to record the "Queen of Death" EP.

Tony Dolan eventually returned to Atomkraft to record "Conductors of Noise" which would be their last release before spliting up in 1988.

Darren Cock and Ged Wolf are brothers.

Tony Dolan went on to pursue an acting career after leaving Venom.
