Gotthard is massively popular in their native Switzerland. They have had 11 number one albums there along with six top 10 singles. They've also done well across Europe, having sold over 2 million albums during their career. They haven't had much exposure in the U.S., but they are developing a loyal fan base here as well.
Their latest effort is Domino Effect, an album jam packed with catchy songs and potential hit singles. Gotthard plays melodic metal/rock with giant hooks and singalong choruses. From sweeping epic ballads to harder edged rockers, this is an album filled with memorable songs. You'll also get your money's worth. There are 19 tracks on the album including five bonus tracks that clock in at 73 minutes of music.
Steve Lee is Gotthard's vocalist, and he has a voice with a lot of range and a distinctive sound. The band has a bit of a retro vibe, and some of the faster songs have that '80s hair metal feel. If you're into melodic and accessible hard rock/metal, Gotthard is a band you will definitely want to check out.
