According to a posting on KROKUS' web site, the band will perform a couple of brand new songs alongside all the classics.

As previously reported, an audio sample of a brand-new KROKUS song, entitled "Hellraiser', has been made available for download at this location (MP3, 1 MB).

KROKUS frontman Marc Storace recently told Metal-Rules.com that the track "Hellraiser" will be featured in an upcoming film called "Handyman". It's a comedy movie by this Swiss comedian called Malcolm Reamer who is also big in Austria and Switzerland," he said. "He has starred with the people who do 'Wochenendhaus' and he's been in a couple of other films as well. He's very popular and he never stops joking. He's born for this part. The song is called 'Hellraiser' and it fits in the film. We have a small part in it where we get smashed in a limousine."

KROKUS recently announced the addition of German drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (ex-ACCEPT, U.D.O., HELLOWEEN) to the group's ranks. The band are currently working with producer Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69) on the follow-up to 2003's "Rock the Block", tentatively due later in the year. KROKUS's current lineup includes Storace, Tony Castell (bass),Mandy Meyer (guitar) and Dominique Fave (guitar).
