Krokus' 4th album METAL RENDEZ-VOUS is the first to feature vocalist Marc Storace, whose raspy delivery has become one of the band's more identifiable trademarks. It's also the first Krokus album that belongs in the heavy metal genre, even if these songs are mostly amped up boogie rock (like AC/DC). The band possess an added edginess that is undeniably metal, especially with the addition of Storace's razor sharp delivery.rThe album starts out powerfully with the 1-2-3 punch of "Heatstrokes", "Bedside Radio" and "Come On", which all seem indicative of their future trajectory. It's just too bad that none of the songs that follow measure up to its promising lead off tracks. Only "Tokyo Nights" and "No Way" even raise an eyebrow for me. The rest isn't bad, but just wasn't the sort of fare they'd be playing live in years to come. Still, this album is an important transition towards the classic records they'd make during the early 80s.
