The band members used to use pseudonyms, many of which were anglicized versions of their own names. Only Olaf Thorsen still uses a stage name.
Roberto Tiranti is also known as the Eurobeat artist "Powerful T", and made a guest appearance for Maledia in 2009. Tiranti also became Labyrinth's bass player in 2006 when Cristiano Bertocchi departed and returned to singing only when Olaf Thorsen rejoined and the band reverted to their old power metal style.
