\"Krokus<\/a>I sometimes wonder if the Metal side of me made surviving The Rise & Fall Of ’84 <\/em>any easier. The Metal music and accompanying persona was more rebelious and driven to party.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I haven’t listened to Krokus much since The Metal Years<\/em>. It has been cool digging them back up for this project.\u00a0 Night Wolf<\/em> and Russian Winter <\/em> are two good songs that I’d all but forgotten about.<\/p>\n

Even the metal albums had songs about heartbreak and loss crushed in between the songs about speed and destruction. Headhunter <\/em>was no exception. The big song on the radio was Stayed Awake All Night <\/em>but Screaming In The Night <\/em>was where I was headed.<\/p>\n

Headhunter<\/em>
