PROUD FLESH were a German Heavy Rock band formed in 1969 in the city of Bonn-Bad-Godesberg.
The group was made up of musicians who had previously played with local bands COOL STOVE, DESPERADOS, HANGMEN and RATS.
The band's early repertoire consisted of interpretations of DEEP PURPLE, SPOOKY TOOTH, LED ZEPPELIN, TEN YEARS AFTER and BLACK SABBATH, alongside their original compositions.
Proud Flesh toured all over Germany, did gigs in Luxembourg and were the supporting act for famous European bands such as THE LORDS, THE RATTLES and GOLDEN EARRING.
The band signed with the Cologne based Resondo Records label, and released a debut single, the untypically lightweight "Happy", in early 1970..
The band then contributed a track to the "Wir im Scheinwerfer" compilation LP, but were dissatisfied with the thin sound of these early recordings.
This was remedied in 1971 with the release of the "Devil Flight" 7", a furious proto-Metal pounder in the vein of SABBATH or URIAH HEEP.
The B-Side, "Blind", was equally impressive, and the band seemed poised to have a crack at the big time.
Sadly, although a further single, "On The Run", was recorded in 1972, it went unreleased and the band split up.
In the early 1990's interest in the band amongst collectors saw the prices of their releases soar, a trend which only intensified after their appearance on the 1995 "Prae-Kraut Pandaemonium Vol. 5", compilation album.
Another compilation appearance, this time on "Obscured by Krauts", brought the bands name to the attention of another generation of music fans in 1998.
In 2006, the band self-released a remastered collection of their 1971-72 recordings under the title "Digitalized".
The five song Mini album contained both sides of the "Devil Flight" single and finally, both sides of it's unreleased follow up, "On The Run".
Since then the band's members have been tentatively working on new material for a propsed new release.
