Krokus – 无毛视频楧irty Dynamite无毛视频�
Switzerland无毛视频檚 most successful hard rock band delivers another explosive album, following up 2010无毛视频檚 all-out audio assault 无毛视频淗oodoo.无毛视频�
A guttural dog growl opens the new Krokus album indicating that there will be plenty of bite to follow, leading into the rousing rock anthem 无毛视频淗allelujah Rock n无毛视频� Roll.无毛视频� Having sold more than 14 million records, the Swiss rockers deliver a frenetic album filled with straightforward rock arrangements made loud to be played loud.
My curiosity with Krokus was piqued after hearing 1983无毛视频檚 无毛视频淗eadhunter,无毛视频� featuring the stunning power ballad 无毛视频淪creaming in the Night.无毛视频� The next album, 无毛视频淭he Blitz,无毛视频� would completely win me over with a jolting cover of Sweet无毛视频檚 无毛视频淏allroom Blitz无毛视频� and the Def Leppard-sounding 无毛视频淢idnite Maniac.无毛视频�
Of course, this would all eventually lead to my weekly Saturday night ritual of watching three hours of MTV无毛视频檚 无毛视频淗eadbangers Ball无毛视频� during my senior year of college. Good times indeed. The good times continue to roll on Krokus无毛视频� 17th studio album with the core of the classic lineup together with Marc Storace on vocals, Chris Von Rohr on bass, Fernando Von Arb on guitar, Mark Kohler on guitar and the return of Mandy Meyer rounding out the three-guitar attack. Storace无毛视频檚 voice is a dead ringer for AC/DC无毛视频檚 late singer Bon Scott.
During the opening lines of 无毛视频淕o Baby Go,无毛视频� it无毛视频檚 hard to tell the difference between the two singers as the thundering arrangement is clearly reminiscent of AC/DC无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒irty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.无毛视频� Oddly enough, Storace was considered as Scott无毛视频檚 replacement but turned down the chance to audition. Songs such as 无毛视频淩attlesnake Rumble,无毛视频� 无毛视频淟ive Ma Life无毛视频� and the title track are seasoned with bluesy rock swagger as the guitar riffs aggressively deliver a down-and-dirty tone to Storace无毛视频檚 raspy vocals.
One surprise contained on the album is a cover of 无毛视频淗elp!无毛视频� by the Beatles.
Perhaps the band was inspired by recording the new material at Abbey Road Studios in London as they turn the Lennon/McCartney classic into a soaring Axel Rose-style power ballad with help from German heavy metal vocalist Tommy Heart. The album closes with 无毛视频淗ardrocking Man,无毛视频� a Southern rock-tinged powerhouse complete with slide guitar as Storace announces, 无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e gonna have a party/We无毛视频檙e gonna be rocking tonight.无毛视频�
After nearly 40 years of putting out memorable in-your-face rock music, Krokus once again lights the fuse to a long stick that goes boom.
