Rare ATOMKRAFT Video Footage Released

October 17, 2006

Former ATOMKRAFT/current AGANKAST guitarist Rob Matthew has collaborated with web site design company Bloodvision to create four previously unseen video clips and montages of ATOMKRAFT. According to Matthew, "They are live footage and stills taken from ATOMKRAFT's four years on the road and in the studio, 1985-89. They feature unseen cine camera footage, live footage as well as touring with EXODUS and backstage pics with SLAYER, who had only just arrived in Britain for the first time. These four videos are a compilation of images and film from my own personal collection and I hope that they will bring back good memories to all those 1980s ATOMKRAFT fans out there. This is me giving something back to the legacy of ATOMKRAFT, but I would also like people to check out my accompanying statement at our AGANKAST web site, www.Agankast.com, where I finally lay the ghost to rest.

"I have chosen as these four videos to represent 'my half of the ATOMKRAFT legacy,' together with ATOMKRAFT vocalist and lyricist Ian Davison Swift. All four video songs are co-written by both of us. I hope this will finally put to rest the question of who was creating what in ATOMKRAFT. The songs are 'Protector', 'Queen of Death', 'Dance of the Immortals' and 'Teutonic Pain'. And I remind those ATOMKRAFT doubters out there that what you are watching is some twenty years ago, and yet as you will see...the music still sounds fresh and the stage gear looks great too, it could almost be a band on the circuit today, apart from the odd mullet haircut, obviously."
