German Hard Rock is a style of rock music that originated in Germany in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy, distorted guitar sound, often with a bluesy influence, and its use of English lyrics. It is often seen as a precursor to the heavy metal genre, and is often referred to as "Krautrock" or "Kraut Metal". German Hard Rock bands such as Scorpions, Accept, and the Scorpions-influenced U.D.O. have achieved international success.
