In Trance

A dark, transitional heavy metal landmark. Blending Hendrix-style psychedelia with operatic vocals and the first true glimpses of the band's stadium-sized future.

Before the radio hits, they were making some of the moodiest, heaviest guitar music of the seventies.

A heavy, nocturnal intensity that feels both aggressive and deeply lonely.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the haunting, clean arpeggios of the title track into the explosive, desperate power chords of the chorus.

The psychedelic, wah-drenched guitar solo in Evening Wind that feels like it is physically swirling around the listener.

Klaus Meine's glass-shattering high note that kicks off Top of the Bill, signaling a shift into pure heavy metal territory.
