Scanner Albums Ranked


Thumbs up: +1
Six albums and five different singers and probably equally many or even more on all the other instruments. The only solid standing stone is guitarist and song writer Axel Julius. Luckily he's a great song writer so the changes in the lineup makes no difference. Six albums, all worth listening to for any fan of heavy/power/speed metal. Scanner is one of those names that never really got any recognition but still shows up on obscure festival bills 30 years after the debut and that always warms my heart. As of now i'm only hoping for a seventh album, and hopefully they keep their current singer as he has a great voice for this kind of music.
