Darxon drummer Jan Yildiral is ex-Steeler (Deu). For the 'No Thrills' album Darxon underwent a major line-up change. New members were guitarist Wolfgang Böhm and Michael Hebestadt, bassist Thomas Smuszynski and drummer Ingo Plass. Post Darxon, Yildiral would record with Shout in 1992 before establishing his own successful global travel agency.
Darxon supported Zed Yago in Germany during 1988. Guitarist Wolfgang 'Wolla' Böhm joined U.D.O.. When U.D.O. vocalist Udo Dirkschneider opted to put his band on ice for an Accept reformation Böhm created Universe with Darxon colleague drummer Ingo Plass.
