This is a list of bands Maxel recorded with:



MASTERY
MANIACAL
PENETRATOR
KRAKATOA



Maxel Black, pro vocalist, songwriter, and lyricist is known for his powerful voice and captivating live presence. Formally front man for PENETRATOR, Maniacal & Mastery he was nominated by the H.M.D in 2005 as BEST FRONT MAN OF THE YEAR. After flirting between various cover and original bands Maxel's first demo breakthrough came with Mastery in 2002. He co-wrote the music and they invited music guests bassist John Mamone of Dragonfly and guitarist Andrew Roudny of Blackhour to play on all the tracks. They recorded THE TRIAD.
In the summer of 2003, Maxel met members of the band Maniacal. Maxel decided to join forces with the band and wrote the lyrics and melodies for all the songs on the demo in two weeks. Maniacal had already begun recording their tracks at Eclipse Studios in Mississauga, Ontario. Fellow Canadian Studio producer and master guitar shredder Glen Drover of King Diamond-Eidolon-Megadeth produced the demo Sinkhole to Hell. Glen stepped in during the recording adding layered harmonic guitar riffs throughout the CD. Maxel attacked the songs with a vengeance under Glens coaching.
During the making of Sinkhole, Maxel hooked up with Toronto guitarist Bess Ross whom he was introduced to at a Dio concert. They decided to get together to work on a new music project. Before they knew it PENETRATOR was born. The bands material was written with lightning speed and people were soon pounding on the door to get into the rehearsal space. In the spring of 2004, Penetrator recorded the demo Unleash the Fury which received rave reviews worldwide. Penetrator later inked a worldwide distribution deal with Greece's Sonic Age Records. Maxel later hooked up with several players to form the band that was known as KRAKATOA
a melodic thrash project that had comparisons to Nevermore. Krakatoa had the energy speed and song melodies that would linger on music fans long after the show. It wasn't long before the band started headlining shows and getting the attention of record labels.
Maxel became involved as a political activist and joined EuroRock 2008 along with a host of other musicians. He went to Europe to take part in the Peace Full Sail in order to bring attention to the horrors taking place in today's world and need for world aid and understanding.
During his career in Maxel shared the stage with such acts as Anvil, Cryptopsy, Eidolon, Death By Stereo, Protest The Hero, Overloaded, Arise And Ruin then known as Pure Blank, Self Inflicted, Kamelot and Seven Witches just to name a few.



While we were filming our story we came upon an emergency situation.
It was an emotional moment witnessing the refugees that were fleeing from Africa and landing on the shores of Las Palmas, some half dead. The journey for them all cramped into a tiny boat is treacherous and horrifying when you hear all the details. It made me realize that we need to bring stories like this to everyone's attention because they are all trying to escape the turmoil and horrors that are taking place in their country. This demonstrates the urgent need to move quickly to develop immediate solutions for all people that face these types of situations. People need to feel safe in their own country so we can end the conditions that create displacement.
While documenting this moment on film authorities stepped in and tried to confiscate our camera and film, but as you can see here, we managed to get the story out to you.
