Let's stay n Germany, but visit my hometown. There were not only Protector, but also these great guys. They started out as Steel Tower and even released an album in 1984, called Night of the Dog - also HIGHLY recommended.
If you are a friend of useless heavy metal trivia, get this: The first demos of Death Attack (pre-Protector) were recorded in Steel Towers rehearsal room in 1985. Yehaw, now I'm cool. xD
Heaven's Gate is what Helloween maybe should have done after Kai Hansen stopped singing. No, to be honest, I like Heaven's Gate even more. This is incredible speed metal - no fillers, just killers here. Anyway, my all-time-favorite on In Control is SURRENDER! Absolutely awesome!

What you see in the second picture is a test pressing of their second album, Livin' in Hysteria. Here they included a little more power metal elements, but anyway, this is still awesome and recommended!
Into Glory Ride on
Extrem gute Platte!
