Stampede (Krokus album)
Stampede is the eleventh studio album by Swiss hard rock band Krokus. It features an almost completely different line-up to that of their last album, and was recorded near the band's home town of Solothurn by Jürg Naegeli, a former member of the band.
It was also the first Krokus album since 1978's Painkiller not to feature Marc Storace on lead vocals. His replacement, Peter Tanner, had previously been a member of Swiss bands Witchcraft, Bloody Six and Headhunter as well as a voice actor in the late 1970s. Stampede is also marks the Krokus studio debut for Many Maurer, a bandmate of Tanner's in Headhunter and founding member of Killer. The album reached No. 18 in the Swiss album charts.
In 2000, Tanner and Storace would unite to record the D/C World album, consisting of 5 strung together blocks of passages from 30 different AC/DC songs, with Tanner singing the Brian Johnson parts and Storace in the Bon Scott role.
