The roots of Atomkraft date to mid-1978, when Tony "Demolition" Dolan and Paul Spillett got together with the intention to form a band.

Initially using the name of Moral Fibre and playing punk rock, they recruited guitarists Ian Legg and Chris Taylor.

[3][4] After returning from a trip to Bremen, Germany, Taylor presented his bandmates with some button badges featuring the environmental slogan 'Atomkraft, Nein Danke!'

White passed a copy of the demo to Sam Kress, who ran a radio station and Whiplash magazine.

Dave Woods of Neat Records heard the demo and offered them a deal, and the band started work on the Future Warriors album.

After the end of the Venom/Exodus tour, Atomkraft prepared and recorded a new EP, with the tracks "Your Mentor" on the A-side and "Demolition", "Funeral Pyre" and "Mode III" on the B-side.

In October 1986, the re-titled Queen of Death EP was released with the title track and "Protector" on the A-side, and "Demolition", "Funeral Pyre" and "Mode III" on the B-side.

The first date of the tour, at the Hammersmith Odeon featured an expanded line-up of Max Penalty, Atomkraft, Onslaught, Nuclear Assault and Agent Steel, and was promoted as 'The Longest Day'.

The expanded five piece embarked on a 1988 European tour with Nasty Savage and Exumer ultimately resulting in a 'unique' gig (for the time) in Katowice, Poland, at Spodek Stadium.

The 2005 line-up included Payre Hulkoff (from Swedish industrial band Raubtier) on guitar and Steve Mason on drums.

Named Cold Sweat it contained three unreleased tracks recorded with members of the 2005 line-up and session musicians, plus a cover version of the Thin Lizzy track, "Cold Sweat", featuring Australian guitar player Joe Matera on guitar solo.

Following the release of Cold Sweat, Dolan recruited a new line-up and did one date in London under the Atomkraft moniker in 2011, performing tracks from the new EP.

The 2011 line-up included Kraen Maier and Rich Davenport on guitars, plus Paul Caffrey (from Gama Bomb) on drums.

This line-up of Atomkraft (minus Rich Davenport) performed the Future Warriors LP in its entirety in March 2014 at the second edition of Brofest, a NWOBHM festival based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
