They were signed to GWR Records producing the 1988 album WOW! and the 1991 album History Re-Written.[1]
For the second album, which saw the band shorten their name to Atomgod and took on a thrash metal direction. Thoms was joined by bassist Algy Ward (The Damned and Tank), guitarist Bill Liesegang (Nina Hagen Band), and drummer Steve Clarke of Fastway
Judge Trev Thoms went on to form Mother of All Bands (MOAB) with Hawkwind's ex bassist/frontman, Ron Tree and produced the album "Insect Brain" on Real Festival Music.[2] In 2007 Judge Trev returned to playing with former Hawkwind sax player Nik Turner in the reformed Inner City Unit but died on 8 December 2010 from pancreatic cancer.
