Any Christian metal/hard rock bands from Germany?

Any bands I should check out?  Looking for the style of 80's-90's Scorpions.

Creed?

Seventh Avenue is German, but more of the Helloween influence than Scorps.

Chryztyne

The closest you will find, even though they are not a clone, is the British band Stairway.  They just released a new album this year.

Don't forget Ancient Prophecy.

I have both ancient prophecy CDs for sale

Lightmare was another christian metal band from Germany, but was also more in the vein of Helloween.
Treasure Seeker was a very good project band, that covered christian metal classics on their only album "A tribute to the past".

isn't InnerWish German?

*edit - nevermind, they are from greece

Sacrificum

There is no band like the Scorpions. The Scorpions are The Scorpions.

If you are looking for a christian band which sounds similar to them, the band

Legend (seven) comes to mind





also Siloam fits in that time and style



also Shout and Ken Tamplin comes to mind




These bands are USamerican bands.

If you are looking for christian german bands of the 80s and early 90s

the bands mentioned above are the most important

I also would add Bloody Cross (thrash), Kingscrowd and Golgatha (lighter hard rock version with keyboards).

Creed has had a pretty good Metal EP out before they produced their debut.

The closest hit for

christian band from germany of the late 80s early 90s which sounds the most similar to the Scorpions

is indeed ...(congratulations oteis)

Chryztyne

Legend/Legend Seven was a GREAT band. The s/t (when they were just called Legend) is excellent and Blind Faith (when they were Legend Seven) isn't too shabby, either.

Check out a band called Dark Sky.   They are a German band, and sound like a cross between Helloween and Scorpions.   The latter is mainly because the singer sounds quite a bit like Klaus Meine.

Their best album is called "Initium" - it is a concept album about the death and resurrection of Christ.  I cannot say for sure that they consider themselves a "Christian band" though, as their earlier releases would not attest to that.  But they clearly have at least one solid foot in that camp.

Obscure band but some of the songs on "Initium" are excellent.  Others not so much, but overall it was a surprisingly good recent discovery.

Here are some tracks from the album:
