KICKHUNTER – Greatest Kicks (2024) *HQ*
After a break of over nine years and their successful return in 2023 with the album Now Or Never, it is time for a KICKHUNTER greatest hits release that offers songs from all albums. Especially because the old records are no longer available.
But of course, ”Greatest Kicks” doesn’t just feature old songs in old sound guise. They had mixing console wizard Eike Freese remix 6 songs and remaster all the others. Soundmaster Dennis Ward was responsible for remix of the Rockestra version of “I Sing This Song Forever”.
Encouraged by the new Def Leppard album Drastic Symphonies, guitarist Stefan Aurel started this musical journey, the Rockestra Remix of “I Sing This Song Forever”. For the orchestral arrangements, he was assisted by Masterplan keyboardist Axel Mackenrott and on the piano. For the new version of “Child Of Love” Savatage singer Zak Stevens and also Helloween bassist Markus Grobkopf were won over.
Founded in 2000 by guitarist Stefan Aurel and drummer Karsten Kreppert, the Hamburg-based formation toured Europe in 2003 with Deep Purple and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and in 2013 KICKHUNTER accompanied US southern rock legend Molly Hatchet on their tour in Germany.
The band always were regular guest at various festivals such as the Harley Days in Hamburg.
If you’re looking for real handmade hard rock music with a timeless sound, powerful Hammond sounds and groovy drums, ”Greatest Kicks” hits the bull’s eye.
