Another classic 80's german band you should definitely download. Here's another interesting little band from back in the day and it seems like they're only appreciated by 50 people worldwide because they're so overlooked, Black Fate from Germany. You wouldn't think this was released in Germany in 1986, more like the UK in 1982 or 1983. It sounds like it could have been the follow up to Satan's "Court In The Act" if Satan had been listening to Accept and decided to take a more clinical and catchy approach with the songwriting/guitars. Main reason why it sounds like Satan is the vocalist who is a dead ringer for Satan singer, Brian Ross but without hitting the high notes that Brian Ross could.

Must hear songs on here are certainly "Warchild" with it's stunning chorus, also "Heaven Can Wait" and "Champagne" is interesting as the vocals aren't a dead ringer for Brian Ross but Tom G. Warrior!!! The bonus tracks that appear on the CD version "Hello America" and "Hot and Pretty" are also very cool and strange that they omitted them from the vinyl release. As a whole a very good disc with no real weak spots. Consider yourself very lucky if you can get the record from somewhere without having to splash out a lot...Check out downloads of the songs I mentioned.
