History & Biography
Gladiators was often compared to Accept and other Teutonic metal acts and hailed from the east of Germany. The group focused on cover versions to start before issuing the Back Into The Arena demo of 1996. The debut album was supported through shows with Grave Digger and Unrest and a 1998 opening slot for Jag Panzer and Angel Dust in Europe. Jolly Roger Records re-issued the albums in 2022.

Meinl worked at the band's label Black Arrow (owned by Sönke Lau of Unrest), which was renamed TTS Media Music later. The band was active between 1990 and 2000.
