KROKUS

5th album from 1981 by Swiss KROKUS and the second to feature charismatic vocalist Marc Storace, who had already joined the band on the acclaimed "Metal Rendez-vous". With "Hardware", the band firmly established the sound that would make it one of the leading European Hard Rock and Heavy Metal acts of the early 1980s, while continuing its rise on the international scene.

"Hardware" delivers an outstanding blend of powerful riffs, sharp guitar work, irresistible choruses and Storace's commanding vocals, drawing inspiration from Australian Hard Rock while maintaining a distinctive identity of its own. Songs such as "Easy Rocker" and "Burning Bones" capture the band at its peak, making this one of the strongest and most representative albums of its classic era.
