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. The EP did not get released in this form, as a rift developed in the band as a result of discussions over management. Dolan subsequently left the band. Neat then released the track “Your Mentor” as part of the Powertrax promotional cassette, while the vocal tracks on the rest of the “Your Mentor” sessions were re-recorded by Ian Davison-Swift from Avenger . D.C. Rage (Darren Cook of Avenger) was brought in as bassist and two new tracks were recorded, with the new four-piece, “Queen of Death” and “Protector” (although Alan Hunter of Tysondog had originally contributed vocals to “Protector”). 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. A re-recording of the track “Future Warriors”, with Davison-Swift on vocals was also licensed for future inclusion in a compilation. With touring commitments lining up for the band, Dolan was invited to rejoin the band as rhythm guitarist, making Atomkraft a five-piece outfit for their upcoming shows.
