September 19, 2006

KROKUS's latest album, "Hellraiser", reached "gold" status in the band's home country of Switzerland within a day of its release, according to the group's official newsletter. The CD, which will be issued in North America on October 24, was recorded with producer Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69).

The new KROKUS single, "Angel of My Dreams", has been made available for download at this location.

KROKUS recently announced the addition of German drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (ex-ACCEPT, U.D.O., HELLOWEEN) to the group's ranks. The band's current lineup is completed by Tony Castell (bass),Mandy Meyer (guitar) and Dominique Fave (guitar).

As part of their "pre-release parties" all over Germany, KROKUS will play a a short "acoustic set" of 4-6 songs (similar to what they did in Denver on the "Lewis & Floorwax" radio show last October during their U.S. tour) on September 23 at the Rockfabrik in Ludwigsburg, Germany. One week later, on September 30, they will visit the Mediamarkt in Lyssach, Switzerland, where they will play an another "acoustic set" of 4-6 songs, followed by a signing session of the group's new CD, "Hellraiser".

KROKUS will embark on its "Hellraiser" world tour in October, starting in Scandinavia and continental Europe, and continuing into the first half of 2007 with the Americas. A special treat for fans and KROKUS alike will be a concert in late November in Malta, singer Marc Storace's original home country. Last time Marc toured Malta with a band was with TEA in the Seventies and Malta is getting ready for a special KROKUS "welcome" for their native son!
