History & Biography
This Hannover hard rock band was founded in 1973 by Knorn. The band played opener for every band that ran through Germany - such as April Wine or AC/DC - and supplied Matthias Jabs to the Scorpions in 1978 as a replacement to Uli Jon Roth. Tolle left in 1980 but returned in 1982 to record the F album. The band was being managed by Scorpions' manager David Krebs, but Ladwig and drummer Tolle departed. Newton (and Knorn) formed the more successful Victory. Newton was actually Metzger and vice versa.

The return was in 2016. Knorn published a book called Bis Hierhin Und So Weiter ('Up To Here And Furthermore') in 2016, which was accompanied by a performance by Peter Ladwig, Arndt Schulz and both drummers Nikolas Fritz and Frank Tolle. This led to SPV offering the act a deal to reform and record. Constellation was released in 2018. The line-up was Peter Ladwig (vocals and guitar), Arndt Schulz (guitar), Peter Knorn (bass) and Mob Rules' drummer Nikolas Fritz. Arndt left the band in 2020, but the group still released Strangers D'Amour in 2021. The band had a gig with Rosy Vista in 2025.
