Founded in Hannover, West Germany in 1965, the iconic rock act were part of the first wave of metal in the 1970's with their debut album, Lonesome Crow, released in 1972. The band rose to arena status with seminal releases Lovedrive, Virgin Killer and Animal Magnetism. In the '80s, Scorpions amassed a string of Billboard chart toppers from Love at First Sting and Blackout. The band was also ranked #46 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and their hit "Rock You Like a Hurricane" also landed as #18 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.
Earlier this year in February 2022, Scorpions released their nineteenth studio album Rock Believer via Vertigo Records featuring the songs “Rock Believer”, Peacemaker” and “Shining of your Soul”.
