Swiss Band KROKUS have gone through numerous line-up changes but nevertheless they still sound like the same band in a good way. The band did powerful versions of classics “Headhunter”, “Long stick goes boom” and “Screaming in the night” as well as a bunch of new tracks from forthcoming “Hellraiser” album. The new line-up, which consists of remaining member Marc Storace, Dominique Favez and Tony Castell, are now completed with addition of guitarist Mandy Meyer (Asia, Gotthard) and German drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (U.D.O., Accept, Helloween). Singer Marc Storace is still a hell of a kind frontman and he has kind of a charisma that most others just can dream of. Mandy Meyer certainly has no problems to fill his predecessors big shoes and last but not least it has to be said that Stefan is the man on drums. He certainly deserves a special mention because his excellent drumming gave a new, fresh breath, especially for some older stuff. In brief, Krokus put out easily one of the best performances on the whole festival like they did the last time in 2003. Brilliant!
