Inordinately enjoying Krypt Axeripper right now, will have to check out Steel Mammoth. The Aktor album and 7" kinda fit with this weird vibe, too.
If I remember right, the Krypt Axeripper came out just before Jussi Lehtisalo started releasing his Jussi and friends (what I call these things) NWOFHM 7"s, and is I think the first in that series of worthwhile experiments. Which is to say I hope if you plan to keep digging that you don't neglect the Traktor Pulling, Motorspandex, Mercedes Hell, and Arkhamin Kirjasto 7"s, all of which are along those lines and are about as rich with content as 7" records can possibly be! Those lines being pomo eclectic warped motor metal. All these releases are pretty fun. A less good but still worthy NWOFHM cassette came out more recently that may or may not still be available, and features otherwise unreleased tracks from some of the above projects and others.
Steel Mammoth is also clearly this genre, and is also a really fun band, and probably closest to the Krypt Axeripper record's sound, just Jussi has minimal involvement with SM far as I can tell after their first two albums (it's confusing!) Another good group is Night Satan, whom are totally unrelated member-wise I think, but have an exceptional 7" themselves (mastered by Jussi) which is NWOFHM instrumentals with synths pretending to be distorted electric guitars! Their first full length drops the metal posturing and features mostly John Carpenter-type minor key arpeggiated synth instrumentals.
I agree the Aktor stuff is very much a return to that sound! Just slicker! The singer/songwriter is very, very strong, and I understand has other projects which are highly regarded, and his strength combined with Circle's rhythm section makes for an interesting group indeed!

I'll probably bump the Richard Dawson thread with this news, but just got an email from Riot Season that a third Mahti album is on the way, but this time the lineup has expanded to include Richard Dawson on guitar and vocals, as well as Sally Pilkington on keys and vocals.
