Swiss rock legend Marc Storace’s own band, Storace, announces the release of their highly anticipated new studio album, “Crossfire”, set for release on November 22nd, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The new single “We All Need the Money”, is out now. Watch the official video below.
Marc Storace expresses his excitement for the release:
“Tommy Henriksen, in spite of his tight touring-schedule with Alice Cooper, The Hollywood Vampires and his work with his Crossbone Skully, actually ‘made time’ to produce my ‘Crossfire’ album! Hell yeah, that’s what I call a good friend! Creating the songs with T felt like magic… And he even got the incredible Olle Romo, Mut Lange’s very own engineer, to mix the album… Unbelievable! It was like a match made in heaven!! Play It Loud”!
Maltese born-Swiss musician Marc Storace started his exceptional musical career in 1970, with the Swiss cult progressive band TEA, with whom he released 5 LPs and became a very successful band. Marc gained attention for his frontmanship and his high-pitched raunchy vocal tone.
In 1979, Marc became the voice of Krokus, the most successful Hard Rock Band from Switzerland. After their first album with Marc, “Metal Rendez-Vous”, Krokus played several world tours, sold over 15 million records and won many gold and platinum awards.
After the group disbanded, Marc formed the band Blue, who released their self-titled album in 1991, including the widely known hit “You Can’t Stop The Rainfall”.
In the 90s and 2000s, Marc acted in 2 feature films (“Anuk” and “Handyman”), and reached gold status again with various Krokus formations and 3 LPs. With many guest appearances such as on “Rock Meets Classic”, “Sweet 50th anniversary”, “Ken Hensley live in Switzerland”, “Schubert in Rock”, and on Manfred Ehlert’s albums “Amen” and the rock opera “Test”, Marc remained present with his fans.
In 2008, the scene was surprised with the news that the original Krokus formation would be touring again. The success was tremendous: tours in USA, Japan, Europe and South America as well as 2 new studio LPs, which in turn earned platinum status. In December 2019, Krokus played their farewell concert at the sold-out Hallenstadion in Zurich.
At the beginning of 2021, Marc started working on his solo career as Storace and, at the end of 2021, he released his first solo album “Live and Let Live”. Marc started his first tour in Switzerland accompanied by the studio band in the middle of the difficult pandemic times. Since May 2022, Marc has been performing with his new band and rocking the stage like never before.
Marc spent 2023 and 2024 writing and producing the new album “Crossfire”, a monster piece of Hard Rock, with songwriting shared between Marc Storace, guitar player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus).
“Crossfire”, produced by Tommy Henriksen and mixed by the award-winning engineer Olle Romo, features a collection of Hard Rock anthemic songs, with big choruses, great guitars and an awesome rhythm section!
