Description

Rare private pressing

Longstanding Hamburg based Metal traditionalists founded as the school band The Tigers by vocalist / guitarist Torsten Buczko. Renamed Not Fragile they debuted in december 1983 with the ‘Hard Rock’ cassette. They continued to release demos and were among many of the nowadays almost famous compilation vinyls like Break Out, Metal Warrior and Iron Tyrants III before their debut album Who Dares Wins was released in 1988. The band made did another studio session in 1989 that got the name Lost In A Dream sessions and an unreleased album called One Way To Glory before the band went into a long hiatus and under this time Hellion records released an EP with material from the Lost In A Dream session and the unreleased album saw the light of day in Japan in 1992 with the new title Hard To Be Alive and it was then released in Europe too the year after but then under the title of Lost In A Dream. Vocalist/Guitarist Torsten Buczko sold his beloved motorbike and built a recording studio and resurrected Not Fragile and finally in 1995 there was a new album out. The album was suitably titled ‘The Return’ and it saw new axeman Wolf Rambatz aligned with the stable Buczko, Belter and Kohn axis. The production sounds a bit hollow but theres nothing to complain about the music. Not Fragile still plays the old school German metal and should please fans of Helloween, Running Wild and Stormwarrior
