Krokus have started working on their 17th studio record with the working title of Dirty Dynamite.

For the next couple of weeks Krokus producer and bassist Chris Von Rohr, along with vocalist Marc Storace, will be laying down bass and vocal tracks at London's Abbey Road Studios. Coincidentally The Beatles, the band who made Abbey Road studio famous, are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.

Krokus' last record Hoodoo was released on February 26th, 2010 and featured the return of the 'classic' Krokus line-up of Marc Storace, Chris Von Rohr, guitarists Fernando Von Arb and Mark Kohler, and drummer Freddy Steady. Sony Music later released a limited and numbered 'Special Edition' of the album to celebrate its platinum status -- complete with footage of the band's celebrated live reunion show at Stade de Suisse in Berne, Switzerland and an original Krokus belt buckle.
