In 82, Krokus tried to capture the USA with the help of, as they say, AC/DC-style on the album One Vice at a Time. And the attempt almost succeeded - 53rd place in Billboard for a Swiss group in America, which never likes strangers, is an unconditional success. But the musicians decided to go further and, having refused direct borrowings, maximally Americanized their sound, switching to the side of hard-n-heavy. Of course, the group received a muffled sound and sluggish drums as a bonus, but in the USA of the early 80s, such an approach could be considered standard. The result exceeded expectations - 25th place and gold status, which allowed the next two albums, made in a completely commercial vein, to remain in the Top 50 as well. For all the success of One Vice at a Time, the 83 album sounds much more interesting. Added to everything mentioned above are the developments of the band's main Swiss success - the Metal Rendez-vous record. You can say that Headhunter is the style and sound of Krokus. The rock-n-roll metallic Headhunter, the fun Eat the Rich, the ballad Screaming in the Night (a direct reference to Rendez-vous), the fierce Night Wolf, the cover of beloved BTO Stayed Awake All Night, and the most powerful Russian Winter - you won't have time to get bored. American hard rock made in Switzerland. We are not talking about any masterpiece, but this is that very hard rock of the 80s with elements of heavy, which some love and most now ridicule. Good compositions and the right approach - key to success + a gift for all time for fans of that era.
