Axel and Zaphor played at this point of time parrallel also in the german cult band CANCER BARRACK1990 - Zaphor left CANCER BARRACK and took over the lead singer position because Thomas Lücke left the band. Rodney Orpheus of THE CASSANDRA COMPLEX produced the third GUG album called "Positive" and started a friendship with Zaphor.
