December 30, 2009, 14 years ago
Swiss metallers KROKUS are poised to release their highly anticipated comeback album Hoodoo on February 26th, 2010 via Sony Music - check out the artwork at the left.
Almost 30 years later, the most successful rock band of Switzerland returns in its original line-up to the label they worked with during the hey days of their biggest success in the early 80’s. Partnered with Ariola and Arista, Krokus became an international success and ran up the charts with their hit albums Metal Rendez-Vous (1980), Hardware (1981), One Vice At A Time (1982), Headhunter (1983 - #25 in the US Billboard Charts), The Blitz (1984) and Change Of Address (1986). On a regular basis Krokus reached Top 40 status in the USA, Great Britain and Germany and charted always on the Top in their native Switzerland.
Krokus 2009 features vocalist Marc Storace, bassist (and producer) Chris Von Rohr, lead guitarist Fernando Von Arb, rhythm guitarist Mark "Koki" Kohler and drummer Freddy Steady.
Bassist and producer Chris Von Rohr sums up Hoodoo: "To keep the end result top quality, it was ok that during the process of writing songs and recording them occasionally tempers flared within the band. We are no lame pussycat rockers; instead we stay true to ourselves. All the blood, sweat and painstaking effort during this two-year journey was worthwhile!"
