COMMENT: Wiki
Agent Steel is an American speed metal band from Los Angeles, California that was formed in 1984 by vocalist John Cyriis with drummer Chuck Profus. The band released two full-length albums, and one EP before disbanding in 1988. They were most notable for Cyriis' high-pitched vocals, catchy songs, melodic riffs, and fast tempos mixed in with their unusual (in heavy metal) interest in UFOs, and differential anthropological-theme lyrical prose. Agent Steel reformed in 1998 (without Cyriis, although he would return to the band in 2010) and released three more full-length albums before going on hiatus in 2011. The band announced their second reunion in 2019, with Cyriis back on vocals.
Vocalist John Cyriis had recently left his previous band Vermin and teamed with drummer Chuck Profus. They were originally known as Sanctuary before being known as Agent Steel. They recruited guitarists Mark Marshal and Bill Simmons, along with bassist George Robb. They recorded their first demo 144,000 Gone in the summer of 1984, followed by one more that year. Marshal and Simmons left the band. Another member named John Gott joined, but left shortly afterwards. New guitarists Juan Garcia and Kurt Colfelt joined the band. From December 1984 to February 1985, they recorded their debut album Skeptics Apocalypse, which was released in June 1985 by Combat Records. A falling out with John Cyriis led to the departure of Colfelt. He was replaced with new guitarist Bernie Versailles. In October 1985, the band recorded an EP titled Mad Locust Rising, which was released in January 1986. Bassist George Robb was fired after the recordings and was replaced by Letchen Grey bassist Michael Zaputil shortly after.
