Face the Heat is the twelfth studio album released by the German hard rock band Scorpions in 1993.

This album marked their status as a sort of political band with the song "Alien Nation", which was about the re-unification of Germany.

[citation needed] This album had a contemporary touch to it, as the band were then going with the current trends, before later returning to their original style in Unbreakable in 2004.

This is the last album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell, and the first with Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar replacing Francis Buchholz.

"Alien Nation" was covered by the Italian heavy metal band Mastercastle, recorded by Pier Gonella at MusicArt Studios and released as Japanese bonus track of their album The Phoenix.
