Stefan Schwarzmann (foto), bekend van Accept, U.D.O. en Helloween, is de nieuwe drummer van de Zwitserse veteranen Krokus. Schwarzmann vervangt Patrick Aeby, die in november 2005 uit de band stapte.
"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 zal in mei door Duitsland touren ter promotie van het nieuwe studioalbum. Als support gaat de band Axxis mee, waarin Andre Hilgers op de drumkruk zit.
