Stranger was a young and hungry Bavarian Heavy Metal act. They were sort of like a low rent Helloween. Their debut album, The Bell, was released in 1985 on the Hot Blood label. Stranger favored a more traditional style of metal that, by '85, was obscured by thrash in Germany, so these guys didn't get much attention, but this album, while being a bit generic, is still a great deal of fun. You remember fun, right?
I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for the upload.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that you and I are the only ones, Twin Uzis.
ReplyDeleteYou can add me to that list. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteHave you heard Talon - Neutralized (1984)? That's another fun record that comes to mind in the same vein as this, Oz and Witch Cross. This blog is maybe my favorite place on the internet by the way. Thanks for all the great music!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I can't find that Talon stuff.
ReplyDeleteHere's a mediafire link. Couldn't find the original so I upp'd it myself.

I just noticed this album closes with a church bell and The Stranger album opens with one hahaha. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOh, apparently I need a password to unzip the file.
ReplyDeletecool shit here. I was looking them up and it would appear their second album was quite a stinker.
ReplyDeleteSorry...I grabbed the wrong .zip - this one works.
