  • Description

    Formed in 1984 in Los Angeles, Agent Steel mixed speed with John Cyriis' outstanding vocal dexterity and a subject matter that centred around UFOs and conspiracy theories. Cyriis had briefly been a member of Megadeth prior to forming Agent Steel.

    Releasing the classic albums 'Skeptics Apocalypse' in 1985, and ‘Unstoppable Force’ in 1987, the band split in 1988, but reunited in 2021 with Cyriis for 'No Other Godz Before Me'.

    The band toured extensively in their early days and stood out from the crowd due to Cyriis' vocal style which drew comparisons to the likes of Geoff Tate of Queensryche, and Rob Halford of Judas Priest.

    'Mad Locust Rising' captures the band in their early pomp and features the unreleased track "The Unexpected" as well as a cover of the Judas Priest classic "The Ripper".
    The release features brand new interviews conducted by journalist Olivier 'Zoltar' Badin with guitarist James Murphy, who played with the band on this show, and who went on to play with many legendary bands including Death, Obituary and Testament, and also singer / guitarist Olof Wikstrand from Swedish speed metal act Enforcer, a band influenced by the Agent Steel blueprint.
