AGENT STEEL - SKEPTICS APOCALYPSE

MASTERS OF METAL

In 1985 a Los Angeles based band took their first steps on the metal scene. It was Agent Steel with their debut album Skeptics Apocalypse. They were formed by John Cyriis who had a short stint with Megadeth before they released their first album. Kinda like Dave Mustaine's own destiny and just like Dave, John went on and started a new band and became a legendary metal frontman on his own.

Some people didn't understand John Cyriis falsetto insanely high falsetto screams and his strange fascination with Aliens and conspiracies but nobody should be that close minded that they disregard Agent Steel because they are truly Metal Masters right from the start.

If you mix Savage Grace with some Queensryche and add some sprinkles of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and speed it all up a bit you'll get a sound somewhat similar of that of Agent Steel on Skeptics Apocalypse. Speed, Heavy, Power or Thrash, call it what you will. I simply refer to Skeptics Apocalypse as a masterpiece.

My favourite songs on Skeptics apocalypse are: Agents of steel, Bleed for the godz & 144.000 gone. Skeptics apocalypse is one long powertrip of the finest speed metal you'll ever come across. It's really that good. Agents of steel, MASTERS OF METAL!
