It looks like Krokus are no longer planning to call it quits. According to Marc Storace, the band have been “reborn” after previously announcing a farewell tour six years ago.
Storace told The Metal Voice the following after being asked if the band are “packing it up”:
“No, no, no, no. KROKUS is reborn. We all feel fresh again. We’ve had a really nice run and the feeling in the band is really harmonious. And I don’t sense any bad vibes for doing my solo stuff, because they know I did it because I was in a lockdown situation and that’s how it started and the ball kept on rolling. So it’s something I’m doing not because I wanna leave KROKUS.
KROKUS is my lifetime work; it’s been my main baby since 1979, end of 1979, with a couple of breaks here and there. That happens in all bands, and we had so many musician changes and everything and ups and downs and troubles and lawsuits and all this. But we’re still together because the music holds us together and our history holds us together. It’s a sentimental thing. It’s a brotherly love kind of thing without being cheesy about it, because we’re not really like that. We don’t meet up to go and drink a bottle of wine together or we don’t really meet up outside working hours, if you like. I enjoy every time I have to drive down to Solothurn where the band comes from and do a rehearsal. And, yeah, it works. There’s a nice team. The crew is fixed, and it’s great.”
He also added the following when asked about the possibility of new music:
“Ah, yeah. Good question. That’s what I ask myself. It would be nice, and I know there would be a lot of fans who would be thankful for that, but I don’t see any sign of life in the creative way, except for the live stuff that we do. And the band has never been so good playing live, and it’s really fun. And everything comes automatically nowadays. I mean, it would be nice, but who am I to talk, if everyone else is not [on the same page about it].”
