Swedish webzine Metalshrine has issued an interview with KROKUS frontman Marc Storace. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Do you miss those days, when you toured in the 80s and sold millions of records?
A: "No, I don't miss it, but I'm happy I went through it. The gold and platinum awards that hang on the walls at home are like pictures now. We are here and now and the future is ahead and we have to work towards our goal."
Q: How are people reacting to the latest album?
A: "Very good and it's a good album and we can say that with confidence. It's such a variety of music and it actually combines the whole Krokus style on one record, instead of having one record sounding different than the other, you can hear a little bit of everything. For instance, Mandy Meyer is back in the band, playing lead and playing slide again. Something we haven't had since Tommy Keifer departed and Mandy replaced him for the Hardware tour in 81 - 82. And there are other elements of metal for example, which came from Mandy. It also got ballads on it and also radio friendly stuff like 'Angel Of My Dreams' and then the kick ass, more AC/DC oriented music. We came out at the same time, the same era as AC/DC and I think one band rubbs off on another. You can find elements of The Beatles in The Rolling Stones in the psychedelic days of the late 60s."
