Info:

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:

Rock Candy continues with the remasters of KROKUS' most celebrated albums. Now it's the time for the classic "HeadHunter" and "The Blitz"."The Blitz" was their first 'American' album, including the hit "Ballroom Blitz".Riding high on a wave of creative and commercial success, Krokus had the world at their feet.In just four short years the band had risen from obscurity in Europe to become major players on the world’s stages, particularly in the USA, where their previous album ‘HeadHunter’ sold a million copies and lodged itself at number twenty five on the album chart.So at this point in their career all eyes were on the band, expecting them to continue their upward trajectory but internally all was not as it should’ve been.The band’s constant touring and recording cycle was proving too much for founding member and bassist Chris von Rohr who opted to leave the band, forcing line up changes with guitarist Mark Kohler switching to bass and the recruitment of new drummer Jeff Klaven (ex Cobra).The importance of the band’s high ranking status was underscored by the appointment of talented producer Bruce Fairbairn (flanked by engineers Bob Rock and Mike Fraser) a man who had guided the recording career of Canadian rockers Loverboy to platinum heights, and who would later find huge success with Bon Jovi and AC/DC.Fairbairn’s ear for commerciality took the band in a new streamline, but still hard rock direction, one highlighted by electrifying tracks such as "Midnite Maniac", "Boys Night Out" (written by Bryan Adams) and a tub thumping cover of the Sweet’s "Ballroom Blitz".Again with Jimi Jamison doing harmony vocals, "The Blitz" is perhaps the most glossy, best sounding recording by Krokus. This Rock Candy remaster has rescued the bass, hidden low frequencies and a general refreshed ambiance.
