Overview:

Metal Rendez-vous is the fourth studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus and the first to feature current vocalist Marc Storace. It was released in 1980. The track "Heatstrokes" charted number one in the British Heavy Metal Charts, and arguably opened up markets for Krokus in Britain and the United States, along with "Bedside Radio" and "Tokyo Nights". Strangely, the song "Tokyo Nights" features a reggae beat halfway through. The album sold more than 150,000 copies in Switzerland and was certified Triple Platinum.
