This very young group from Bolzano (Italy) was formed in 1982, and record a DEMOTAPE.Their first album came out in 1986 Dirty Armada distribuited by CGD Milano. Their concerts in Italy and Austria have received numerous positive reactions from audience and critics.With their second album Pictures of War the Skanners reach out the peak of popularity. by playng as a support group for Mot..rhead Twisted Sister- R.J. Dio Helloween - Saxon- Girlschool and others, they have proved theyr talent and willingness to emerge.Later the Band had many changes in the line-up , this caused a pause as far as recording is concerned.The present line-up has found the ancient splendor again. In 1995 the Label Liederszene Southtyrol produced their third album The Magic Square that was distribuited in Italy by the Self Records. The Band gave a series of spectacular concerts as a support group for Deep Purple around Italy, where the audience heard and admired the line-up´s Magic Show !!!In 1997 all the live material was recorded and mixed on a CD album: the new Skanners Live, also produced by Liederszene Southtyrol and distribuited by the Label White & Black Italy.The 1997 was the year of the 15° Anniversary of the Band, so they decided to give the fans a Live album with songs of each of their three albums including two no-edit songs1998/99.The band tourned around Austria and Germany to promote the new album, at the same time workt about new songs and material for the next Studio- Album. 2000/01 The band has signed for two realeses with the Italian Label UNDERGROUND SYMPHONY, and has recorded The new Album FLAGELLUM DEI at the New Sin Studios in ITALY. 2002/04 The new Album Flagellum Dei is on the market in Europe and the Band play it all around the World !
