Scorpions

The average listener with only a passing interest in heavy metal might be surprised that the Scorpions had been recording since 1972 – they actually formed in 1965 – as their success in the United States didn't really begin until the release of 1982's Blackout. Hip-O's Box of Scorpions is the first U.S.-released box set from the veteran German rockers to sample from their entire 30-year career…

Scorpions is a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal.

This edition belong to the Deluxe editions celebrating the 50TH anniversary of the German band..

On their studio first outing in three years, Germany's seemingly eternal Scorpions keep the sound a perfect balance between nu metal guitar crunch and '80s heavy metal melodies. Humanity Hour, Vol. 1 is a worthy if not utterly successful musical follow-up to 2004's Unbreakable – a record that saw the band coming back to its strengths after a long bout of wandering about in the creative desert.

Hot and Heavy, released in 1993, is another RCA compilation of all the Scorpions' best Uli Jon Roth recordings. As the title suggests, it features their heavier songs, including three sung by Roth himself. Although not really necessary, the album does a good job in showing the raw '70s power the Scorpions had.
