This is a classic Krokus example of how they've bit by bit pieced together songs from old AC/DC-material, lyrically as well as musically. It's almost scientific. The reason they outrock their own masters these days is, they pick the Bon Scott stuff*. It's a magnificent puzzle, and it's contained way down there even in the small details. But it works. Best pastiche band ever. Wish it were the other way around. It's damn disillusioning, on top of everything else, that AC/DC are now anachronistic, like a faint hope being snuffed out.
* = Shoot to Thrill (which is the main source) off Back in Black, was intended for Bon.
Just heard this Nu Metal-style song on this DJ-less loop rock radio channel, and the main verse was Children of the Grave by the 'Sabs. Not nearly, but quite blatantly that. Noone said what the song was, it was just song-commercial-song-commercial, like. So I don't know what band it was.

Ok but they don't have Angus Young on the lead guitar. It's like Van Halen without Eddie....there are many clones but really nobody can sound exactely like him. Try to check on YT the thousands cover of his solo MJ's Beat it, noone really sounds like the original.
Besides the obvious thing, the paint, facial or otherwise, used by subsequent rock artists, there's also the matter of the falsetto-style singing, which Ian Gillan and David Byron later used with far greater success. King Diamond seems to have combined all these features...
This sounds like a dance mix between Radio Gaga and the theme from The Neverending Story.... Funny bridge at 2:47. Could swear he's saying rumpy-pumpy... Well, to each their own. <--- Politically correct statement. I don't fancy being sued by left-wing fag-hag femiliberal fanatics...
And, furthermore, Mr. Trump the harangue-outang would have gotten nowhere with Freddie. He had no time for no monkey business...
Skip the intro on the Invocator song, and there you are. Down to the "crung-crung-whee"... I sold this disc to a collector a while back, and kept the Demetia album. Invocator are hailed as the forefathers of Danish Death Metal, the infamous Esbjerg-scene, and I would humbly like to beg to differ.
