Maltese born-Swiss musician Marc Storace started his exceptional musical career in 1970, with the Swiss cult progressive band TEA, with whom he released 3 LP's and toured Europe and the UK. TEA also supported Queen during an early tour in Germany. Marc gained attention for his frontmanship and his high-pitched raunchy vocal tone.
Whilst in London in 1977, Marc formed “Eazy Money” whose song Telephone Man made it into the UK Metal Charts and is in the Storace Set-List today.
In 1979, Marc became the voice of Krokus, the most successful Hard Rock Band from Switzerland. After their first album with Marc, “Metal Rendez-Vous”, Krokus played several world tours, sold over 15 million records and won many gold and platinum awards.
When the group disbanded, Marc formed the band Blue, who released their self-titled album in 1991, including the widely known hit “You Can't Stop The Rainfall”.
In the 90s and 2000s, Marc acted in 2 feature films (“Anuk” and “Handyman”), and reached gold status again with various Krokus formations and 3 LPs. With many guest appearances such as on “Rock Meets Classic”, “Sweet 50th anniversary”, “Ken Hensley live in Switzerland”, “Schubert In Rock”, and on Manfred Ehlert's albums “Amen” and the rock opera “Test”, Marc remained present with his fans.
In 2008, the scene was surprised with the news that the original Krokus formation would be touring again. The success was tremendous: tours in USA, Japan, Europe and South America as well as 2 new studio LP's, which in turn earned platinum status. In December 2019, Krokus played their farewell concert at the sold-out Hallenstadion in Zurich.
At the beginning of 2021, Marc started working on his solo career as Storace and, at the end of 2021, he released his first solo album “Live And Let Live”. Marc started his first tour in Switzerland accompanied by the studio band in the middle of the difficult pandemic times. Since May 2022, Marc has been performing with his new band and rocking the stage like never before.
About the Live Album, Marc Storace notes:
“During the past three intensive years playing throughout Switzerland we recorded many gigs, and the live album features the best of the crop, highlighting songs we recorded during hot performances in Zürich’s Hallenstadion as special guests of KISS, and The Scorpions, and whilst sharing the famous “Rock The Ring Festival” stage with Alice Cooper and his notorious band”.
“Included on the setlist are songs from Krokus which we never play, like “Midnite Maniac” and “To The Top”; also a beefed up version of “Telephone Man” from my late seventies London band Eazy Money”, he continues.
Marc spent 2023 and 2024 writing and producing the new album “Crossfire”, a monster piece of Hard Rock, with songwriting shared between Marc Storace, guitar player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus).
“Crossfire”, produced by Tommy Henriksen and mixed by the award-winning engineer Olle Romo, features a collection of Hard Rock anthemic songs, with big choruses, great guitars and an awesome rhythm section was released in late 2024.
