{"product_id":"attaxe_braving-the-tempest_2024_zyx","title":"Braving The Tempest","description":"Attaxe was founded in 1985 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, by singer Juan Ricardo. They released several demos in the late 80s that topped the playlists of many college radio stations, notably \"Out of The Storm\" in 1986 and \"Metal Messiah\" in 1987. In 1988, a side project demo called \"Zyclone\" was released with guitarist Gregg Perry, and in 1989, Attaxe released \"Are You Ready\", which received heavy radio airplay. In 1990, Attaxe appeared with \"Pedal To The Metal\" on the compilation \"Heavy Artillery\", which remains popular today. Attaxe disbanded in 1990 when singer Juan Ricardo joined Torment, a band that changed its name to Ritual. In 1993, they recorded the album \"Trials Of Torment\" for Massacre Records, which established Juan Ricardo as the quintessential American metal singer in Europe. After years of requests for demo recordings, Juan released a compilation including the demos in 2006 titled \"Attaxe - 20 Years the Hard Way\". Attaxe officially reformed in 2019 and signed with Pure Steel Records, reissuing \"20 Years the Hard Way\" in 2020. Their debut album Attaxe - Braving The Tempest will be released on August 30, 2024, on Golden Core\/ZYX. Juan Ricardo is one of the few truly typical American metal singers. He is currently still active with Wretch and has previously played with Blind Cross, Sunless Sky, Arena, Chemikill, and Stryker, among others. ATTAXE already has several confirmed concerts in Europe!
