KROKUS Performs New Album Title Track On Swiss TV (Video) - Jan. 13, 2013
Swiss hard rock veterans KROKUS peformed the title track of their new album, "Dirty Dynamite", on last night's "Swiss Awards" TV show. You can now watch video footage of their appearance below.

"Dirty Dynamite" will be released on February 22 in Europe via Sony Music and in North America on March 5, 2013 via The End Records.

Sony Music is offering a free download of the title track at this location (e-mail sign-up required). It was the last song that was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England at 5 o'clock in the morning. Bassist Chris Von Rohr added some honky tonk piano licks on the original "Lady Madonna" piano at the studio.

"Dirty Dynamite" marks the return of KROKUS guitarist Mandy Meyer after 30 years.

Chris Von Rohr, along with vocalist Marc Storace, recently laid down bass and vocal tracks at London, England's Abbey Road Studios for the band's 17th album, "Dirty Dynamite". Sound engineer for the recording sessions is again Dennis Ward, who also recorded the band's last album, "Hoodoo".

KROKUS 2013 is:

Marc Storace - Vocals
Chris Von Rohr - bass
Fernando Von Arb - Lead Guitar
Mark Kohler - Rhythm Guitar
Mandy Meyer - Guitar

Sitting behind the drums on KROKUS' upcoming tour will be several guest drummers, including Kosta Zafiriou (PINK CREAM 69), who also played on the new CD.

Drummer Freddy Steady left KROKUS in May 2011 because he "concluded that he really wanted to play music just for fun in small clubs rather than conquering the world, playing arenas on huge stages with pyro props, etc.," according to guitarist Fernando Von Arb.

Krokus just needs to get back to writing nasty themed hard rock with that raw edge they once had.

Bit of a sellout ... kinda like Bob Seger's Old Time Rock n Roll. Hopefully the rest of the CD rocks a bit more.

me of some lame Great White or something of that ilk. Krokus certainly had their moments in the early to mid 80's. I am a big fan of One Vice At A Time and Headhunter. And I do believe Marc Storace is a pretty damn good vocalist, although he has been stricken with Douchebagitis for a good part of his career. If this song is indicative of their new music I will be saving my money.

and Hardware are also good Krokus albums, I gave up on them after Headhunter. 80's band that couldn't move forward.

Song isn't the greatest. Hope the rest of Krokus' album is far better.

Hopefully this is the only bad song of the album. Maybe. Not. Who the hell knows.

Marc Storace almost looks a little like Paul Heyman there.

...very lame, predictable commercial-sounding song.

Bring back the Headhunter sound!

I like the song. Their last record 'Hoodoo' was great.
