About this album

Headhunter is the breakthrough album that pushed Krokus into the international heavy metal conversation. Released in 1983, it sharpened the Swiss band’s sound into lean, hook-heavy hard rock with a heavier edge, helped by polished production and a stronger sense of melody. The record’s best-known song, Screaming in the Night, became a signature single and gave the band real crossover reach, while Eat the Rich and the title track underline the album’s riff-driven attack. For many listeners, Headhunter remains the point where Krokus combined arena-sized force with memorable songwriting and broader commercial appeal.
