I-Krokus yiqembu le-Swiss hard rock. Okwamanje, "omakadebona besigcawu esinzima" badayise amarekhodi angaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-14. Ohlotsheni lapho izakhamuzi zesifunda sase-Solothurn ezikhuluma isiJalimane zenza khona, lokhu kube yimpumelelo enkulu.
Ngemuva kwekhefu leli qembu ngeminyaka yawo-1990, abaculi baphinde bacula futhi bajabulisa abalandeli babo.
Ukuqala komsebenzi weqembu le-Krokus
I-Krokus yasungulwa nguChris von Rohr noTommy Kiefer ngo-1974. Owokuqala wayedlala ibhesi, owesibili edlala isiginci. UChris uphinde wadlala indima yomculi weqembu. Leli qembu laqanjwa ngembali etholakala yonke indawo, i-crocus.
UChris von Rohr wabona enye yalezi zimbali efasiteleni lebhasi futhi waphakamisa igama ku-Kiefer, owaqala ukungalithandi leli gama, kodwa kamuva wavuma, ngoba phakathi negama lembali kukhona igama elithi "idwala" .
Ingoma yokuqala ikwazile ukuqopha izingoma ezimbalwa kuphela, ezazithi "iluhlaza", ayizange ihlabe umxhwele izilaleli noma abagxeki.
Nakuba igagasi le-hard rock lase likhona kakade eYurophu, emaphethelweni ayo lehluleka ukuletha abafana ekuthandeni. Kwakudingeka izinguquko ezifanelekayo.
UChris von Rohr ushiye i-bass futhi wathatha amakhibhodi, avumela ukwengeza umculo futhi kukhanyise umsindo wesiginci osindayo.
Ujoyinwe abaculi abanolwazi lweqembu laseMontezuma - laba ngoFernando von Arb, Jürg Najeli noFreddie Steady. Ngenxa yesiginci sesibili, umsindo weqembu waba nzima.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo nokufika kwamalungu amasha eqembu, iqembu le-Krokus lithole ilogo yalo. Lo mcimbi ungabhekwa njengokuzalwa kwangempela kwama-rockers aseSwitzerland.
Indlela yeqembu le-Krokus eya empumelelweni
Ekuqaleni, umsebenzi weqembu wathonywa kakhulu iqembu le-AC / DC. Uma konke kuhlelekile ngomsindo weqembu le-Krokus, khona-ke umuntu angaphupha kuphela ngomculi oqinile. Kulokhu, uMark Storos uvele eqenjini.
Lolu hlu lwasetshenziselwa ukuqopha i-disc Metal Rendez-Vous. Irekhodi lisize iqembu ukuthi lithathe igxathu elisezingeni elibheke phambili. E-Switzerland, i-albhamu yahamba ngeplatinamu kathathu. Impumelelo eyengeziwe yahlanganiswa ngosizo lwe-Hardware disc.
Womabili ama-disc esewonke athole izingoma eziyisi-6 zangempela, ngenxa yokuthi iqembu lajabulela ukuthandwa okukhulu e-Europe. Kodwa abafana babefuna okwengeziwe, futhi babeka izinto zabo emakethe yaseMelika.
Laba baculi basayine inkontileka nelebuli ye-Arista Records, egxile emculweni onzima. Irekhodi elithi One Vice At A Time, elaqoshwa ngemuva kokushintshwa komshicileli, langena ngokushesha kwabayi-100 abahamba phambili be-American hit parade.
Kodwa uthando lweqiniso lwezithameli zaphesheya lwaqala ngemva kokukhululwa kwerekhodi le-Headhunter, ukusakazwa kwawo okungaphezu kwamakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-1.
Uthando olukhethekile "lwabalandeli" beqembu kwakuyi-ballad ethi Screaming in the Night, eyaqoshwa ku-hard guitar riffs yendabuko yeqembu, egxiliswe emsindweni womculo. Ukwakhiwa kwaze kwabizwa ngokuthi i-Krokus-hit.
Ukuduma kweqembu kuholele ezinguqukweni eziqinile zohlelo. Okokuqala, uKiefer wacelwa ukuba ahambe. Ngemva kokushiya iqembu, akakwazanga ukululama futhi wazibulala.
Base bexosha umsunguli nombhali wegama leqembu, uChris von Rohr. Ukunqotshwa kweMelika kwaphumelela, kodwa kwaba "ukunqoba kwePyrrhic". Bobabili abasunguli basala emuva.
Ukwakhiwa okusha kweqembu
Kodwa leli qembu liqhubekile nokukhipha izingoma ezishisayo kulandela ukushiya kwabasunguli balo. Ngo-1984, u-Krokus wabhala i-Blitz, eyahamba ngegolide e-US.
Ngokubona ithuba lokuthola imali eshisiwe, le lebula yaqala ukufaka ingcindezi kubaculi, okwaholela ekuphazamisekeni kwalolu hlelo. Into eyinhloko ukuthi umculo usuthambile futhi unomsindo, abanye "abalandeli" abangawuthandi.
Laba baculi banqume ukuyishiya le lebula ngemuva kokuqopha irekhodi elilandelayo. Ngemuva kokuqopha i-CD ebukhoma ne-Screaming, abafana basayine inkontileka ne-MCA Records.
Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, umsunguli walo uChris von Rohr wabuyiselwa eqenjini. Ngosizo lwakhe, abakwaKrokus baqopha i-albhamu ethi Heart Attack. Abafana baqhubekile nokuvakasha besekela irekhodi labo.
Ngesikhathi sokudlala okulandelayo, kwenzeka ihlazo elaholela ekuweni kweqembu. Omunye wabadala beqembu uStoras noFernando von Arb bashiye iqembu leKrokus.
I-albhamu elandelayo yeqembu kwadingeka ilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu. I-albhamu ethi To Rock or Not to Be yaphuma maphakathi nawo-1990. I-albhamu yamukelwe kahle ngabagxeki nabalandeli bebhendi, kodwa yehluleka ukuzuza impumelelo kwezohwebo.
I-rock enamandla eYurophu yaqala ukunyamalala, izitayela zomculo zokudansa zaduma. Abaculi sebeyiyekile imisebenzi yabo. Babengenanto yokwenza esitudiyo, futhi amakhonsathi angavamile ayenziwa njalo.
Isikhathi esisha
Ngo-2002, abaculi abasha bakhangwa iqembu le-Krokus. Lokhu kusize i-Rock the Block yafinyelela kunombolo 1 kumashadi aseSwitzerland. Kwalandelwa i-albhamu ebukhoma, eyasiza ekwakheni impumelelo. Kodwa isikhashana abafana bajabulela impumelelo.
Ebuyela eqenjini, uFernando Von Arb walimala isandla futhi akakwazanga ukudlala isiginci. Esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uMandy Meyer. Ubesevele esebenza kuleli qembu ngeminyaka yawo-1980, ngesikhathi iqembu liphethwe wumkhuhlane.
Iqembu likhona kuze kube yilolu suku, ngezikhathi ezithile linikeza amakhonsathi futhi liphumela emikhosini ehlukahlukene yomculo onzima. Irekhodi le-Hellraiser, elaqoshwa ngo-2006, lashaya i-Billboard 200.
Ngo-2017, kwaqoshwa i-disc Big Rocks, okungeyokugcina ku-discography yeqembu kuze kube manje. Ukwakhiwa kweqembu le-Krokus okwamanje kuseduze "negolide".
