Swiss hard rock veterans, Krokus, released their 17th studio album, Dirty Dynamite, on Febrruary 22 in Europe and on March 5 in North America.  The album has entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 17. This marks the first time in Krokus’ history that the band has landed in the Top 20 of the German chart.

The official video for the title track of their new album can be seen below.

The band will set off for their “Dirty Dynamite Tour” in early May with Dani Löble (Helloween) to sit behind the kit.

Drummer Freddy Steady left Krokus in May 2011 because he “concluded that he really wanted to play music just for fun in small clubs rather than conquering the world, playing arenas on huge stages with pyro props, etc.,” according to guitarist Fernando Von Arb.
