Agent Steel

Agent Steel, despite their foundation in the speed metal genre, diverges significantly from the electronic and dance music focus. Known for their high-octane energy, melodic intricacies, and the unique vocal range of John Cyriis, the band carved a distinct path in the metal scene of the 1980s. Originating from Los Angeles in 1984, the group quickly established themselves with a series of releases that showcased their ability to blend rapid tempos with lyrical themes often exploring the extraterrestrial.

Before their initial disbandment in 1988, Agent Steel managed to leave an indelible mark with two full-length albums and an EP, championing a sound that balanced aggression with melody. Their work, characterized by Cyriis' piercing vocals and the band's adeptness at crafting fast-paced, yet harmonically rich riffs, has remained influential in metal circles, albeit their direct contributions to electronic and dance music genres are not their primary legacy.
