I sometimes wonder if the Metal side of me made surviving The Rise & Fall Of ’84 any easier. The Metal music and accompanying persona was more rebelious and driven to party.
Krokus was another one of those bands to come out of frozen Europe. The Germans, the Swiss, the Norwegians, they all had this similar quality. Maybe it’s the accent.
I haven’t listened to Krokus much since The Metal Years. It has been cool digging them back up for this project. Night Wolf and Russian Winter are two good songs that I’d all but forgotten about.
Even the metal albums had songs about heartbreak and loss crushed in between the songs about speed and destruction. Headhunter was no exception. The big song on the radio was Stayed Awake All Night but Screaming In The Night was where I was headed.
