专辑简介

HIGH TENSION is a German Heavy Metal Band, founded in 1980 by A.M. Weisshaar, Tommy Dierstein and Joe Weisshaar. The line-up only changed in May 1986 when the swiss drummer Marco Roth joined the band. In the beginning the band pIayed - as usual - local gigs in the South Part of Germany. But HIGH TENSION developed in a way that they got a record-contract in spring 1985 from GAMA Musikverlag. The first album was released in October 1985 with title „Warrior“ (Hot Blood Records No. 9413151 Distribution Intercord). The commercial success of this first album was not sensational, but the record got favourable critisicm everywhere and gave good rudiments for the further activities: So the second album was recorded in May 1986, title „Under Tension“ (Hot Blood Records No. 900311 Distribution Teldec). Really everybody will realize that the band took decisive steps from the first album to the second! The HIGH TENSION music is a heavy metal which has his origins definitely in rock‘n‘roll. Every instrument is played with such a natural groove and power that the whole songmaterial has his special character. It is the aim of the studio-work as weIl to reproduce all the songs in this way. But you‘ll not miss all the melodie parts and commercial „hooks“ in the songs - please have a listen to the new album, then you can understand! Concerning the HIGH TENSION live-shows: Ask the crowd about it! Everybody is impressed by the wild and natural stage-performance of HIGH TENSION - not only the „Headbangers“!
