Even after more than 33 years, Gotthard's passion for music remains unbroken. With «Stereo Crush», the band is releasing a new album that combines their typical rock sound with fresh influences.
The album shows once again that they not only stand for powerful guitar riffs, but also for emotional moments. As with their classic «Heaven», which is still one of their most popular songs today.
Gotthard celebrated their first successes in 1991 with their debut album. Since then, the band has firmly established itself in the rock scene and sold over three million albums worldwide. Despite the death of singer Steve Lee in 2010, the band continued on their path with Nic Maeder as their new frontman. Albums such as «Firebirth» (2012) and «Silver» (2017) prove that Gotthard have retained their punch even with a new voice.
Gotthard remains true to itself, returning to heavier sounds but also daring to experiment in new ways. The songs on «Stereo Crush» are diverse: from bluesy ballads to riff-driven rock anthems, everything is included.
The single «Rusty Rose» already gives a foretaste: a driving rock song with lush guitar riffs and a powerful chorus. The production is raw and dynamic, reminiscent of the band's early days and at the same time shows a modern evolution.
With «Stereo Crush», Gotthard demonstrate that they have lost none of their energy even after 33 years. The range of songs shows that the band has evolved without denying its roots. The album should appeal to both long-time fans and new listeners.
Curious? There are many different shows by and with Gotthard and therefore plenty of opportunities to experience the band live.
