This is NOT a recommendation as the band plays a strange mix of Misfits and Hard Rock/Metal but it's super rare and mega obscure. So this is more for the Wheelz of Steel lovers, though the price is quite high but I haven't seen a copy for many years now. Prohably even just a testpressing ... have only seen 3 copies yet, this one included!

Secrecy's vocalist sounds like a cow.
There is one album that nobody wants or cares about and you can find copies for 1 E anytime and I always use these copies to enclose for free when I send stuff to friends and they are always positively surprised coz they did not expect such a high class Melodic Metal/Hard Rock album and it's Aidean "Promises". Also Javan's LP is great Melodic Metal and in case I haven't mentioned yet Adamantine's "Rapid eye movement", sounding in places like Helloween without vocals.

Are you talking about the band putting out Art in Motion and Raging Romance ? Because if so, it's one of my personal favourite :V

Exactly. One of the few german records that are worth keeping. :) Their second is good and I liked it when it was released but it didn't aged that well compared to the debut (and 88 demo of course).

very good Hard Rock/early Metal
Some good, some bad songs. But for this price it's still a nice addition to each Teutonic steel collection.

Secrecy's debut is phenomenal, 2nd album is great also! Sounds like a cow???? Cows in Germany should sound good then.

Hehe, he sounds like he has something in his throat, a potato or a Knödel or something. German vocalists basically are quite bad. The good ones did waste their talents on demos mainly. In the late 80's a few bands did private/indie pressings and had better vocalists, but sadly Secrecy's "Knödel Throat" isn't one of them ...

:lol: *high five*

Second album is even more varied compared to the debut.

And let's not forget the early Sweet Cheater album, somebody should reissue that on cd !

Since some of the Bands from the GDR have already been mentioned, we should not forget the mighty TITAN:

Me finally remembering to upload Alan's review of this classic also justified some thread-necromancy...

Are these guys playing live?
