open 12 to 7 today! on this date in 1975 . In Trance is the third studio alb** by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released by RCA Records in 1975. The alb**'s music was the complete departure from the progressive Krautrock of the two previous alb**s, in favor of a heavy metal sound of shorter and tighter arrangements with which the band would achieve their later global success and fame, extended suites in the vein of songs such as Lonesome Crow and Fly to the Rainbow are absent altogether. It is the first alb** by the band to contain the now-famous logo and controversial artwork.
