Protector: The Heritage Die Version auf CD in remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag High Roller Records am 4. März 2016.

1993's "The Heritage" is the fourth studio album by Wolfsburg thrash/death pioneers Protector. On their first album without a founding member, Protector expanded their death side while giving themselves an experimental-progressive edge. According to the Metal Archives website, "The Heritage" is "the best written death metal album ever". If that's nothing! And the reviewer might be right: Protector have matured as a band and as musicians, and their approach was totally professional; they didn't just focus on being the fastest, heaviest and most brutal, they put a lot of emphasis on the composition of the songs - every note is apt, every effect is deliberately placed. Moreover, Protector cleverly toyed with the novelties of the nineties: in "Convicts on the Streets" they even successfully ventured into the forbidden realms of groove metal... Rockhard predicted at the time that Protector would finally join the top of the German thrash elite with this ruthless thrash/death mace - but unfortunately things usually turn out differently than you think... After "The Heritage", the band went into hibernation for a good ten years, only returning in 2013 for High Roller. For the reissue of "The Heritage", Patrick W. Engel / Tempel of Disharmony remastered the album. As a little extra, Protector dug up a bunch of previously unpublished photos from their archives to spice up the record.
