Skorpió

Hungarian rock band formed in 1973.

They are concidered the third supergroup in Hungary after Locomotiv GT in 1971 and Taurus in 1972. Its members had all previously played in well-known bands and gained serious fame: Károly Frenreisz was the singer-bass guitarist of Metro and LGT, Gábor Antal Szűcs was the singer-guitarist and Gábor Fekete was the drummer in Hungária, and Gyula Papp, the organist, played in Mini. Frenreisz first thought of a trio formation along the lines of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and only later decided to include a guitarist. The band's first album, A rohanás, was released in 1974. They also made several radio and television recordings and played on Sarolta Zalatnay's album. Their second album, Ünnepnap, was released in 1976. The album Rohanás sold over 300,000 copies and was ranked fourth among the top ten Hungarian rock albums of all time.
