Some cynics have said that the KROKUS of old has run it"s course, but through all the chequered history of the Platinum selling band FERNANDO von ARB, the musical brain, lead guitarist and prime mover has ensured that the spirit survives and prospers. For 2000 and beyond he has re-created Krokus with hand picked, dedicated musicians with hardrock flowing through them. Joining him are his longstanding friends MANY MAURER on bass and PETER HASS on drums and they are joined by CHRIS LAUPER as second guitarist. Last but not least CARL SENTANCE on vocals who is the former PERSIAN RISK frontman. ROUND 13 is as you might have guessed the thirteenth release by Krokus and is not just an album of speed and power but has textures and subtleties that seem to improve each time you play the album.
