2. Running Wild: Dirk Steffens worked with the German pirate metal band Running Wild. He produced their album "Branded and Exiled" (1985), which is known for its energetic and aggressive sound.

3. Pink Cream 69: Dirk Steffens collaborated with the German hard rock band Pink Cream 69. He produced their self-titled debut album "Pink Cream 69" (1989), which helped establish the band's melodic hard rock sound.

4. Sinner: Sinner is a German heavy metal band, and Dirk Steffens has produced some of their albums. While I couldn't find specific details about the albums he produced for Sinner, his involvement likely contributed to the band's sound and production quality.

5. Zed Yago: Dirk Steffens also worked with the German heavy metal band Zed Yago.

It's worth noting that Dirk Steffens' production work was mainly active during the late 1970s and onwards, as you mentioned. He played a significant role in shaping the sound of various German heavy metal and hard rock acts during that era.

Karl-Ulrich Walterbach is a prominent figure in the German heavy metal music scene. He is best known as the founder and owner of Noise Records, a renowned record label that played a significant role in the development and promotion of heavy metal music, particularly in Germany.

Walterbach founded Noise Records in 1983 in Berlin, Germany. The label quickly gained recognition for signing and releasing albums by some of the most influential bands in the heavy metal genre. Under Walterbach's leadership, Noise Records became synonymous with the German thrash metal movement of the 1980s, which included bands like Helloween, Kreator, and Running Wild.

Walterbach's vision and passion for heavy metal music led him to become not only a label owner but also a producer and executive producer for numerous albums. He played a crucial role in shaping the sound and production of many German heavy metal records during the 1980s and 1990s.

These albums, along with countless others, played a crucial role in establishing Noise Records as a powerhouse label for heavy metal music. Walterbach's dedication to the genre and his ability to spot and nurture talent helped shape the landscape of German heavy metal.

However, it's important to note that Noise Records faced financial difficulties in the late 1990s, leading to its acquisition by Sanctuary Records in 2001. Despite the label's eventual dissolution, Walterbach's contributions to the heavy metal music industry and his impact on the German scene remain significant. His work as a producer and executive producer, as well as his role in founding and running Noise Records, solidified his reputation as a key figure in the history of German heavy metal.

Soundhouse (German spelling: Soundhaus) is a recording Studio in Hamburg, which has been used by German top metal bands like: Helloween, Sinner and "Running Wild".
