Ramón Lage

Ramón Lage (born 9 June 1973 in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain) is a Spanish musician, best known for his work as vocalist of power/progressive metal band Avalanch. Currently, he is the vocalist of DELALMA.

Career

Having shown an interest in singing from a very early age, Lage's musical career started in the 90's with the band Arkaes as lead singer and guitarist.

Later, he was recruited as a singer for the band Paco Jones with which he recorded the album "Invisible" in 1999 and performed, until joining Avalanch marked the definitive beginning of his professional career.

In 2006, he was the first vocalist ever to receive one of the official Asturian Music Awards, by winning in the category of Best Singer in the first edition of the AMAS Awards.

As of 2011, he started working as a vocal coach in Asturias, first at Derrame Rock School in Oviedo and later at the M Feeling Center in La Felguera.

His voice has often been described as greatly versatile, easily able to switch "from an aggressive sound to some very calm and very pleasant singing"

Avalanch

In early 2002 he became the lead vocalist of Avalanch, having already worked with them in the past as a roadie and background vocalist. He is the vocalist who has recorded the most albums with the band, which led him to perform multiple tours in Spain and all around the world.

In parallel, during this era Lage also lent his voice to the bands Stunned Parrots and Geysser, working in both side projects alongside former bandmate Alberto Rionda.

Avalanch entered an indefinite hiatus on 2012 after performing two farewell shows in Mexico supporting Scorpions.

Human

In February 2013, he was announced as the new vocalist and guitarist for Human, an Asturian thrash metal band he had previously collaborated with.

The following years the band went through some line up changes, and then focused on working on their third studio album; the first one with Lage as a frontman and songwriter.

After a long silence, in 2016 Human announced the return of their original line up for a farewell tour in Asturias and then disbanded.

Withdrawal from the stages (2016–2022)

In December 2016, Avalanch's leader Alberto Rionda unilaterally announced a comeback with a completely new line up. Shortly after, in February 2017, all the rest of musicians from the previous line up, including Lage, signed an official statement confirming they had not taken part in any decision regarding the band's return.

Acclaimed for the wide versatility of his voice, Lage continues featuring as guest vocalist, backing vocalist, or vocal producer for several bands and projects. He is also engaged in dubbing and audiobook narration.

DELALMA

In September 2022, a lot of hype was raised when he reappeared publicly as the main vocalist of DELALMA, a supergroup led by the well-known guitarist Manuel Seoane, which includes other renowned musicians such as Manuel Ramil.
