The Bavarian band STRANGER became known underground with their fantastic album "The Bell". In 1985 there was hardly anything better in melodic speed metal. Unfortunately, at that time the focus was on US and NWoBHM bands, which is why "The bell" sold decently but could not deliver the expected numbers. Melodic, catchy and equipped with great songs, the band could also call a really expressive singer their own. After "The bell" the band went into an even more melodic area, but never managed to convince more than with their first work.
