Sireena Records has announced that Krokus will see their Round 13 album released for the first time on vinyl on April 11.
1970s Platinum-selling Swiss hard rock/metal band, Krokus, successfully broke the US market in the ’80s and forged a path through the live sector there and on continental Europe that has continued one way or another to this day. In 1999, the band was back in the studio for 13th album, the appropriately-titled Round 13.
Welsh vocalist Carl Sentance (ex-Persian Risk, Geezer Butler Band) joined co-founder Fernando von Arb (guitars, keyboards), Chris Lauper (guitars), ex-Killer’s Many Maurer (bass) for Round 13, with ex-Calhoun Conquer drummer Peter Haas returning.
Fernando von Arb recalls: “I had wanted to revive the old Krokus but the band had all had babies and wanted to stay at home! So we stopped for a few years and then I went to the UK and found Carl: such a pro, a pleasure to work with. It’s a good album though on reflection I would have chosen a bigger studio: it was tiny!”
Krokus sold over 15 million records, toured the world, and received gold and platinum record awards in the USA and Canada. In its 50th year, the band continues to perform live.
