Face the Heat was an album released by Scorpions in 1993 (see 1993 in music). It was their 16th album, released after Crazy World.
It was produced by the band and the late Bruce Fairbairn. It was released on the PolyGram label. This album marked their status as a sort of political band with the song, "Alien Nation"; which brought up issues of falling to sin until inevitable damnation. This album has a kind of modern touch to it, as the band were then going with the current trends, before later returning to their original style in Unbreakable in 2004.
