Here We Are (+cd)
Released in 1981, Now available again as an LP including CD! 'Here We Are' by Sphinx was a visionary blend of progressive rock and heavy metal. The band, formed by sons of Italian guest workers in Stuttgart, mixed powerful guitars with playful keyboards and complex rhythm changes. Guitarist Thomas Metzger, later known as Tommy Newton, shaped the band's sound. The album was re-released in 1985 under the title 'Burning Lights' but never received the recognition it deserved at the time. Today, it is considered a cult classic, especially among metal fans.
