“ RIDING HIGH ON a wave of creative and commercial success Swiss rockers Krokus had the world at their feet. In just four short years the band had risen from obscurity in Europe to become major players on the world’s stages and in particular in the USA where their last album ‘Headhunter’ sold a million copies and lodged itself at number 25 on the album chart.
At this point in their career all eyes were on the band to continue their upward trajectory but internally not all was as it should've been. The band’s constant touring and recording cycle was proving too much for founding member and bassist Chris von Rohr who opted to leave the band forcing a line up change with guitarist Mark Kohler switching to bass and the recruitment of new drummer Jeff Klaven (ex Cobra).
The importance of the band’s new found status was underscored by the appointment of producer Bruce Fairbairn (flanked by engineers Bob Rock and Mike Fraser) a man who had guided the recording career of Canadian rockers Loverboy to platinum heights and would later find huge success with Bon Jovi and AC/DC. Fairbairn’s ear for commercially took the band in a new streamlined but still hard rock direction, one highlighted by electrifying tracks such as ‘Midnite Maniac’, ‘Boys Nite Out’ (written by Bryan Adams) and a tub thumping cover of the Sweet's ‘Ballroom Blitz’.”~ Master Of Mayhem : Derek Oliver
