KROKUS – Headhunter USA Tour 1983 *HQ* *Exclusive*

Produced by Tom Allom and featuring Rob Halford as guest, KROKUS delivered a high-energy, career-defining commercial breakthrough with their 1983 album ‘Headhunter’ and its accompanying U.S. tour. Following the release of ‘Headhunter’, KROKUS toured heavily across the United States during the summer of 1983. They gained massive exposure by opening for major arena acts like Def Leppard on their Pyromania tour.
Now we have here ”Headhunter USA Tour 1983”, a perfectly recorded show by Westwood One, sound quality is very good, A+.
Frontman Marc Storace commanded stages with raw, high-pitched vocal power, while the band’s dual-guitar attack and the fat, punishing drumming earned them a fierce reputation as a must-see live opening act. Fans frequently cite the 1983 live shows as the absolute peak of the band’s North American momentum.
Krokus managed to eke out two gold albums and tour the world as a fearsome opening act and low-level headliner during their heyday. Why they never achieved the multi-platinum heights of, say, Scorpions or Quiet Riot, is a mystery.
On ”Headhunter USA Tour 1983” Krokus kills!

STORACE (Krokus) – Live And Let Live (2022)

KROKUS frontman Marc STORACE is releasing his first-ever solo album, “Live And Let Live”, in North America. The effort was previously only available in Switzerland. Krokus ended on a high note in December of 2019 with their “Adios Amigos” tour. 13 studio albums & 4 live albums later, Marc wasn’t done yet and formed his own band STORACE. And “Live and Let Live” is the result.
Not to be confused by its title, “Live and Let Live” is a studio recording, ten songs altogether from classic Hard Rock to Melodic Rock and there is even a bluesy number on this album.
For enthusiasts of loud guitars, uplifting hard rock, and all things Storace, ”Live and Let Live” is a dream come true. It’s the first time we’ve heard his voice sing all original music since Krokus’s 2013 album, Dirty Dynamite (2017’s Big Rocks was a covers album).
Although its been roughly half a decade since Storace last laid down his signature throat shredding vocals in the studio, don’t be fooled. This robust rock n’ roller can still bring the heat, going toe to toe with fellow shouters Biff Byford and Rob Halford in the “Holy shit how do they still sound so amazing?” category…
