The Swiss hard rock band has a quarter of a century SHAKRA on the hump. Anyone who has ever played in a band knows how fragile and exhausting such a band structure can be. 25 years is a long time in the music circus and few acts make it that far. SHAKRA did it and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to give up any time soon. But on the contrary!
The band has experienced various ups and downs, weathered turbulence and always kept the goal in mind. This is also reflected in the abundant and regular chart placements that the band has in Germany (#53, #69, #72 and more) and of course in Switzerland (#1, 2x #2, #3, #4, #7 and so on) has accumulated over the years.
The quintet wants to celebrate their 25th band anniversary with their fans, in proper style with hard, catchy and energetic rock music. Eleven new crackers in good and proven SHAKRA-manner and a heartbreaking ballad form the current album “Mad World”. Mad World – crazy world. Indeed she is. Nobody had seen it coming and suddenly madness broke out with full force over the world, as if the band had conjured it up themselves with the current album title: Shortly after the release, just as the tour was about to start, the stage lights went out all over the world and this condition was to last for months from then on. Months of increasing pressure to go out and show people your new music. Songs that stick and scream to be played on the stages of this world.
SHAKRA does not have to prove himself again with «Mad World». No, they rock, especially live, with audible passion. Here’s to another quarter of a century!
