In 1984 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, the band were playing 30,000 seater stadiums and their first album went on to sell well over 200,000 albums worldwide. The single "Send Down An Angel" was frequently aired 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. Just as BRONZ were set for stardom with a second major US tour and album lined up, they imploded. Shaun Kirkpatrick re-formed the band and Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne's Producer) was brought in to record the band's second album "Carried By The Storm". It was recorded over several months in both the Roundhouse and PowerPlant studio's in London.... but as it was nearing completion the record company went into receivership so it was never released at the time... a 'lost classic rock album' (Pat Edison - Radio Caroline).
