The Gotthard stands majestically at 3,192 meters above sea level, and the legacy of the band GOTTHARD is just as impressive. Their signature mix of hard rock power, passion and emotion remains potent even after more than 30 years, making their new record "Stereo Crush" seemingly effortless one of their finest works yet. This achievement is significant for a band with 16 number-one albums and 3.5 million units sold! On their 14th studio record, the band combines years of experience with the enthusiasm typical of highly motivated newcomers. A significant strength of the current lineup—founding members Leo Leoni and Marc Lynn, along with Freddy Scherer, Nic Maeder, and new drummer Flavio Mezzodi—is their cohesive bond: a group of extremely talented and like-minded musicians united by a common dream.

This unwavering commitment to quality and their fans didn't develop overnight. Since releasing their legendary debut "GOTTHARD" in 1992, the band has played an astounding 2,000 concerts and achieved the remarkable feat of a quadruple platinum album—a real "Homerun" for the ambassadors of Swiss rock music. "Stereo Crush" is an album for the ages, thanks also to the unofficial sixth member of the band, longtime co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind.
