The Story

Formed1975OriginSwitzerlandGenrehard rock, heavy metal musicLabelMCA Records, AFM Records, Arista RecordsMembersChris von Rohr

Picture a smoky club, the air vibrating with the heavy riffs of a Swiss powerhouse, Krokus, who have been rocking hard since 1975. Hailing from the charming town of Solothurn, this band blends hard rock and heavy metal with a flair that made waves across North America, especially during the raucous '80s. Fronted by the magnetic Marc Storace, who stepped in just in time for the iconic "Metal Rendez-vous" album, Krokus encapsulates the spirit of an era where guitars sang louder than words. With tracks like "Screaming In the Night," their sound is a fiery embrace, calling back to a time when music was an anthem of rebellion and camaraderie. Dive into their catalog, and let the nostalgia wash over you like a familiar, electrifying wave.
