Schwarzmann rounds up the missing link in the band\'s rhythm section, just in time for the new album recordings. On the band\'s official web site Krokus frontman Marc Storace states:

\"It didn\'t take us very long to realize that Stefan [Schwarzmann] must be the man! The songs we jammed out simply sounded like wildfire! The adrenaline rush came with a loud kick, precise rolls and double bass drum patterns adding climax and drive! The rest is all a matter of practice and routine. Now we\'re already working on some final arrangements of the first batch of songs destined for the new album, and there\'s a lot more where those came from. It\'s really great to have such a large choice!\"

Krokus will be touring across Germany in May following the release of their new studio album. Support at all dates will come from Axxis, featuring Andre Hilgers on drums.
