Faithful Breath

Progressive to Hard Rock band from Bochum, Germany, founded 1967 by and Heinz Mikus, after they played together in a local band called "The Magic Power".
In 1970, the band moved from Bochum to Witten and continue to be a pur live band. In the end of the year 1973, the band recorded their first studio material, which was self-released on their debut album in 1974. The band underwent many changes in line up from the beginning. Only steady members stayed the both founders Mikus and Stabenow.
In 1976, a Single was recorded and a second album was not released in 1978 due to release politics of their label. Following a lawsuit, they were able to release the second album in 1980 on their new label, where also 2 more albums and 2 singles were released until 1983.
The band followed the mainstream of the early 1980's and moved towards Heavy Metal music and they left their label after their 1983 album. Their switch also led to a split of Stabenow from the band, so Mikus was now the only remaining founding member. In 1987, finally, the band switched to Speed Metal and renamed itself to Risk.
