Kurzbeschreibung:

Nazareth ist eine im Jahr 1968 gegründete britische Hard-Rock-Band aus Dunfermline, Schottland. Gemeinsam mit anderen Bands der ersten Hardrock-Generation wie z. B. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep und Black Sabbath war die Gruppe maßgeblich an der Prägung des Hard Rock beteiligt und legte auch einen Grundstein für den Jahre später aufkommenden Heavy Metal. Ihre größten Erfolge feierten Nazareth in den 1970er-Jahren mit den Alben Razamanaz (1973), Loud ’n’ Proud (1973) sowie Hair of the Dog (1975) inkl. der Hit-Single „Love Hurts“. Mit knapp 60 Millionen verkaufter Alben weltweit sind sie neben Simple Minds die international bekannteste schottische Musikgruppe.
