Scorpions are a German hard rock band formed in Hanover in 1965. They are one of the most commercially successful German rock bands, known for their power ballads and arena rock anthems. The band's sound evolved significantly throughout their career, from early blues-rock to the polished arena rock of the 1980s and beyond. The 1993 album "Face the Heat" found the band continuing their exploration of heavier, more groove-oriented hard rock sounds following their previous album "Crazy World". They had recently concluded a successful world tour and were looking to cement their sound for the 1990s.
