Bio:
New project featuring members of Krokus, Gotthard, Unisonic.Gotus, a dynamic Swiss band, emerged in 2019 when guitarist Mandy Meyer (known for his remarkable musical journey spanning Cobra, Asia, Katmandü, Gotthard, Krokus, and Unisonic) and drummer Pat Aeby came together to explore a new musical venture. Initially conceived as a live attraction to showcase songs from Meyer’s extensive repertoire, the band soon took shape. Croatian singer Dino Jelusick was initially recruited for live shows, and the permanent lineup came together with the addition of Tony Castell (formerly of Krokus and Crystal Ball) as the bassist and the exceptionally talented pianist, keyboardist & Hammond player, Alain Guy.Having previously collaborated, including during the successful Krokus era with albums like “Rock the Block”, “Fire & Gasoline”, and “Hellraiser”, the band regrouped in 2022, even in the face of the pandemic, to perform regularly, including prestigious festivals such as “Guitare en Scene”. During this time, the remarkable Ronnie Romero stepped in as the frontman, solidifying the band’s lineup and paving the way for them to enter the studio and record an album of original music.

Today, the band releases first single "Take Me To The Mountain" from the much anticipated album, a track that guitarist Mandy Meyer describes as encapsulating the very essence of Gotus' musical journey, drawing inspiration from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: "I climb upon the highest mountains, laughing at all tragedies - whether real or imaginary."Formed in 2019, Gotus initially emerged as a live project conceived by guitarist Mandy Meyer and drummer Pat Aeby. The band, boasting current, former and actual members of Swiss rock giants Krokus, Gotthard and Storace, regrouped in 2022 after a pandemic-induced hiatus from live performances.

It not only pays homage to Meyer's extensive discography with stellar renditions of classics like "When The Rain Comes" (Katmandü) and "Reason To Live" (Gotthard), but also explores new frontiers with tracks like "Beware Of The Fire" and "Weekend Warriors". The album features epic power ballads such as "Without Your Love" and "Children Of The Night", along with the captivating opener and new single, "Take Me To The Mountain".The rhythm section, with a history of collaboration in Krokus during the 00s, played a pivotal role in one of the most successful period of the band's career with the chart-topping album "Rock The Block". Meyer's return to Krokus after more than two decades away further solidified the band's powerhouse line-up."Gotus" promises to be a treat for discerning rock fans, delivering heartfelt hard rock that showcases the band's evolution and musical maturity.
