Atomgods were a UK heavy rock band from late 1980s.
The band were formed by former Inner City Unit guitarist Judge Trev Thoms, the first recording lineup consisting of Hiro Sasaki and Kofi Baker (Ginger's son). They were signed to GWR Records producing the 1988 album WOW!.
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 (Fastway).
Judge Trev Thoms went on to form MOAB with Hawkwind's ex Bassist/Frontman, Ron Tree and produced the album "Insect Brain" on Real Festival Music. Judge Trev is currently (2007) back playing with Hawkwind's Nik Turner with the reformed Inner City Unit
Atomgod drummer Steve Clarke went on to form the band Necropolis, producing the 1993 End Of The Line album released on Neat Records in 1997.
There are unconfirmed reports that Motörhead guitarists Würzel and Fast Eddie Clarke contributed to some recordings, but Fast Eddy certainly did play on the Necropolis album.
