Background
By produced in Orlando by Tom Allom in Bee Jay Studio studio album Headhunter Krokus were almost at rock royalty. Although a line-up change was after the previous One Vice at a Time again to complain - Steve Pace replaced the longtime drummer Freddy Steady - but let the band this does not derail. Headhunters should all published previously, already successful albums of the band beat again: In many countries, the album stormed the charts: No. 74 in the UK, number 35 in New Zealand, number 25 in the American Billboard charts and # 22 in Sweden. In addition, you could look forward to a platinum award in the U.S. and Gold status in Canada and Switzerland. With "Screaming in the Night ", which also includes a video was shot, Headhunter contains the so far biggest hit of the band. For this purpose, another band classics like the Bachman -Turner Overdrive Cover "Stayed Awake All Night ," " Eat The Rich", also promoted by a video, and the title song " Headhunter", which even today are all an integral part of the live shows join. However, those who believed that crocus were no longer to stop, which was soon, albeit slowly, disabused, because again, it came to line-up changes in the line-up: In addition to just the boarded drummer Steve Pace, of the Americans Jeff Klaven his successor was, Chris von Rohr was the last founding member of Krokus fired because he apparently had clearly exceeded his authority over the other band members. This, however, they lost also the main songwriter alongside Fernando von Arb, which should be felt on the next two albums The Blitz and Change of Address absolutely. Because of the dismissal of Chris von Rohr had Mark Kohler change during the tour to the bass and the Swiss Patrick Mason took over for the rhythm guitar.
