Gotthard Essentials

Gotthard Essentials

Swiss monsters of metal Gotthard rose up in the early ‘90s mixing mountainous, intoxicating hooks with clobbering heaviness and late singer Steve Lee's gritty, otherworldly wails. The slow-burning slink of “Firedance” stomps along like an angry beast (with an assist from Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell), while the dizzying solos and maniacal blitz of “Higher” create a giddy blast of heavy metal. They've got some left-field tendencies too—the band's rendition of Bob Dylan's “Mighty Quinn” is a stormy, arena-rockin' bash.
