Krokus have been around forever and have released about a million albums and not all of these are memorable, but 'Headhunter' is one of their essential records. Full on and steaming heavy metal with sizzling guitars and Marc Storace's almost thrashy Bon Scott vocal delivery delivered straight down the line. The cover alone symbolises what this record is all about, pure fire and ice at the same time, and guest appearances from Rob Halford aof priest and Cobra's Jimi Jamison. 'Headhunter' immediately slices into the brain with the impressive shredding of Von Arb and the rattling drums of Pace, and the band continue this pulsating metal for the next eight tracks. 'Eat The Rich', 'Screaming In The Night', 'Night Wolf', 'Stayed Awake All Night' you know the score...Krokus play hard metal and whilst other albums may not have exhibited the same high voltage style, 'Headhunter' provides the entertainment that all metal albums should. "Eat the rich, eat the rich...don't you know that life is a bitch", what more can you say as the band shuffle into an AC/DC mode of bluesy fused metal making 'Headhunter' for more orgasmic than one would expect.Friday 1 April 2011
