Screaming in the Night has to be one of their greatest songs, the beginning just kicks ass. The video sorta sucks, but who cares. The solos have an awesome tone.
I think I'll check out their later LP's

Re: Krokus

Taha!! I was just thinking about KROKUS the other day....I wondered what had happened to them............answer STILL ROCKING!!
Formed in Switzerland 1974...Maltese vocalist Marc Storace joining the ranks a while later, switching the band to a back to basics rock mould of AC/DC.
They released some successful albums in the 80s
Heres a more recent recording...

Re: Krokus

Their early stuff, like Hardware, was great, I think I'll try a few of their 2000's releases, that sounded pretty cool.........

Re: Krokus

Krokus are quite underrated, imo. All of the early stuff is awesome and their latest releases are a return to form.

Re: Krokus

Screaming In the Night has been my favorite Krokus tune since the first time I heard it. I think I only saw them in concert once in the mid 80's opening for someone, but I don't honestly remember who it was for. Not a bad band. Not great, but definitely better than average.

Re: Krokus

I have 4 or 5 Krokus albums myself, and I was surprised they are still active today.

Re: Krokus

I remember the first time I heard Krokus was when they had an FM Radio Hit with with the remake of ''American Woman'' back in the early 80's. I thought it was pretty rockin'.

''The Blitz'' (1984) is a pretty good album. Classic 80's Metal.

Re: Krokus

I'm a fan, They did have some fun cover songs & I love their Headhunter album. I also have 4 0r 5 of their records & enjoy them. I seen them open for Blackfoot & Ted Nugent around 1981 & they put on a good performance
