Bronz the band were one of the
first British Rock acts (N.W.B.H.M.) New Wave of British Heavy Metal,
to hit America in the mid 80’s, touring their début album “ Taken
By Storm ”. Fronted at that time by Max Bacon on lead vocals and playing
to 30,000 seater stadiums.
The first album went on to sell well over
200,000 albums worldwide which all helped
to secure them a solid reputation as a
British hard rock band to be reckoned
with. The single “Send Down An Angel”
featured heavily on the then fledgling
M.T.V. in America and across Europe, with
a video featuring the actress Emma Thompson.
It reached a top 10 position in the U.K.
rock singles charts and a top 20 in the
rock album charts.
 Despite
the sudden demise of the original line
up, founder member Shaun Kirkpatrick
found himself in a very enviable position.
With top producer Max Norman (Ozzy Ozbourne’s
producer) and full record company backing
set out to completely re-define the
sound of the band and with an exciting
new line up record a
second album.
Recorded
in London’s Roundhouse and Power Plant studios, "Carried
by the Storm" is a definitive British rock album
of its era!
