It’s been six years now since Swiss metallic legends Krokus announce their retirement and vowed to embark on their farewell tour. Nevertheless, the farewell tour bumped into difficulties in 2020 when the pandemic and the band have made a number of bulletins through the years insisting that the farewell tour would proceed sooner or later. Effectively, it appears that evidently there’s no must resume the farewell tour as Krokus doesn’t intend to say farewell in spite of everything.
In a latest interview with The Metal Voice (that was transcribed by Blabbermouth), vocalist Marc Storace was requested if the band was “packing it up now” after the promise of a farewell tour in addition to the discharge of Storace’s solo album Stay and Let Stay in 2021. “No, no, no, no. KROKUS is reborn,” mentioned Storace. “All of us really feel contemporary once more. We have had a very nice run and the sensation within the band is de facto harmonious. And I do not sense any unhealthy vibes for doing my solo stuff, as a result of they know I did it as a result of I used to be in a lockdown state of affairs and that is the way it began and the ball stored on rolling. So it is one thing I am doing not as a result of I wanna depart KROKUS.”
“KROKUS is my lifetime work,” continued Storace, “it has been my important child since 1979, finish of 1979, with a few breaks right here and there. That occurs in all bands, and we had so many musician adjustments and all the pieces and ups and downs and troubles and lawsuits and all this. However we’re nonetheless collectively as a result of the music holds us collectively and our historical past holds us collectively. It is a sentimental factor. It is a cohesion sort of factor with out being tacky about it, as a result of we’re not likely like that. We do not meet as much as go and drink a bottle of wine collectively or we do not actually meet up outdoors working hours, if you happen to like. I take pleasure in each time I’ve to drive right down to Solothurn the place the band comes from and do a rehearsal. And, yeah, it really works. There is a good staff. The crew is fastened, and it is nice.”
When requested if the band would think about placing out any new music anytime quickly, Storace mentioned that that doesn’t appear to be on the desk in the intervening time, but it surely does seem to be Krokus has completely no intention of claiming goodbye anytime quickly.
