Krokus – Hoodoo (2010) – Review
Well, well, who would have thought that they would ever again find themselves and produce a new album! This really was a great surprise back in 2010. And then with such a rocky Heavy Metal piece! Yeehaah!
Of course, the Swiss Heavy Metal band 'Krokus' would not be themselves when they would not sound like 'AC/DC' in their Bon Scott heyday - well kind of.
