It seems that for a number of years, bands solely from the USA or Britain wrote Rock History, but that’s history now as Switzerland has started writing their own chapter. The beautiful little alpine country presents one of the most impressing, high class and overwhelming candidates; Gotthard! This special and incomparable combo is now taking a step further. With more than two millions sold records, it’s clear that Gotthard know how to rock but they did never rest on their laurels! Three times triple platinum, four times double platinum, four times platinum, one gold single, and the official hymn for the Swiss Olympic team. In summer 2004,along with a series of sold out concerts, including the Zurich dome a German tour with Rock legend Deep Purple, followed where they played to a capacity crowd to more than 75.000 people, Gotthard are recognized as Switzerland’s most successful band ever. They embody, like almost no other band, pure delight in playing. A quality feature which is clear on their record ‘Need To Believe’. In cooperation with the famous producer Rick Chicky (Aerosmith, Rush etc.) the band have created a collection which is able to combine emotional Rock songs with haunting mainstream elements in perfect harmony. An album which convinces with rough, dynamic and hasty attitudes but also stands for experience, maturity and composure. Many of the tracks you will find on ‘Need To Believe’ proof hard as bone that Gotthard is an amazing Rock band without any compromises. Songs as the diverse and dazzling ‘Shangri La’ or the rock hymn ‘Need To Believe’ demonstrate the all-embracing contribution Gotthard make to the scene. To make it short: Gotthard stands for the next Rock generation, who will follow their own way without any influences and trends to enrich and enchant the music world over and over again. You cannot deny – that’s Gotthard! It doesn’t matter whether musically or geographically – this is the biggest and mightiest embodiment of Switzerland!!! Don’t miss it!
