Bio:

Krokus is a hard rock/heavy metal band from Switzerland. They enjoyed moderate success in North America during the 1980s.Krokus was founded in Solothurn in 1975 by bassist (and original lead vocalist) Chris von Rohr and guitarist Tommy Kiefer. Former Eazy Money vocalist Marc Storace joined the band as frontman in time for their Metal Rendez-vous album in 1980.On November 18, 2007, the line up featuring Chris von Rohr, Fernando von Arb, Freddy Steady and Marc Storace reunited to play a medley ("Tokyo Nights", "Bedside Radio" and "Heatstrokes") during the TV show, Die grössten Schweizer Hits, on Swiss television. This led to their reunion concert on August 2, 2008. Krokus's cover of Sweet's "The Ballroom Blitz" also appeared in the 2007 game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.It was announced on April 20, 2008, that the classic lineup of Chris von Rohr, Fernando von Arb, Freddy Steady, Mark Kohler and Marc Storace had reunited, and would be releasing a new studio record in 2010 with a supporting world tour. On August 2, 2008, the band performed live in the Stade de Suisse in Bern. Krokus performed the official anthem of the 2009 Ice Hockey World Championships, hosted by Switzerland. The song was entitled "Live for the Action".On March 3, 2010, their latest album, Hoodoo, including a cover version of Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" and ten other songs, was released.It came in a regular and limited edition, the latter containing a DVD featuring concert footage.In May 2011, drummer Fready Steady announced he was leaving the band.Reunion with Mandy Meyer and beyond (2012–present.In December 2012, it was announced guitarist Mandy Meyer was once again rejoining the band after having filled in for an ailing Fernando von Arb at the Loud Park Festival in Japan in October 2011.Krokus released their seventeenth studio album Dirty Dynamite on February 22, 2013.On April 21, 2013, it was reported that former drummer Dani Crivelli, who played on the band's 1988 Heart Attack, had died.[9] According to the German language Swiss daily Blick, Crivelli fell off a bridge in Trimbach, Canton of Solothurn, and did not survive the fall.The band name Krokus is German for crocus, a flower common throughout Europe. Early in the spring of 1975, band founder Chris von Rohr observed a field of these flowers while traveling by train. He was returning from L'Ecole des Chefs located in France after an aborted career in the culinary arts, and it was around this time the idea for the band was formed. The band members stated that it was the perfect name, since it featured "rok" in the middle.

Album:

The Swiss hard rock and heavy metal legends Krokus are about to come up with a new album titled ‘Big Rocks’ this 27th of January. Since 1975, Krokus has stood for “high- quality, honest-to-goodness, hand-made power rock” and continues the same in this album as well. But this album comprises only of covers, including a cover of a song of their own fourth album.‘It is a homage, a nod to all those artists who paved the way for us, making it possible for us to do what we do,’ says bass player Chris von Rohr. The idea of such an album was in the heads of the band members since a long time and finally they are executing it.Let’s just get down to the songs straightaway. The opening track is an instrumental rendition of the Sabbath classic “N.I.B”. The guitar harmonies in the middle portion sound eargasmic, but it would have been better if they did the complete song along with the vocals. Up next is Queen’s “Tie Your Mother Down” and Krokus adds a bit of NWOBHM flavour to it and Marc Storace’s vocals do sound a lot like Biff Clyford of Saxon in this one. The next track is a very punk-like version of “My Generation” originally by The Who. The drummer has done a notably magnificent job in this with the fluent rolls. The fourth song is a heavy metal tribute to the 1965 cover of “Wild Thing” by The Trogs. “House Of The Rising Sun”’s cover has already been released as a single for streaming and downloading platforms and it sounds raw and powerful despite keeping the soul of the original song unchanged.The next two songs are also excellent covers of two classics by Neil Young and The Space Davies Group respectively. No rock and roll tribute album can be complete without Led Zeppelin and the eighth song takes that into account. The vocalist almost pulls off a perfect Robert Plant voice in this one and the heavy riffs go along very good with the song. Up next is a very different sounding “Summertime Blues” cover with a 80s old school hard rock feel. Krokus surely knows how to please a classic rock lover and hence did not leave out pulling of a great cover of “Born To Be Wild” in the album, followed by a Dylan and a Stones cover each. The final song is better recorded and mixed version of their own “Backseat Rock N’ Roll” which was released way back in 1980 in ‘Metal Rendez-Vous’ album.The great thing about ‘Big Rocks’ is that the sound is full-on vintage power rock with a touch of blues and without any of the usual studio trickery of today. The band sounds raw and flawless and will be a trip down memory lane for lovers of the rock ‘n’ roll classics.
