The Bavarian band STRANGER became famous in the underground with their fantastic album "The Bell". In 1985 this was one of the best melodic/speed Metal albums released worldwide. Sadly, the attention was more on the US and British Metal market, so "The bell" never got the attention it deserved. The songs were catchy, but always heavy and the vocals fit perfectly to the music. After "The bell" STRANGER went into more melodic territory, but never again reached the quality with their follow up efforts. Today the original album is a highly in demand collector's item!
