In a new interview with The Metal Voice, vocalist Marc Storace of Swiss hard rock legends KROKUS, who released his first solo album, "Live And Let Live", in late 2021, was asked if the group is "packing it up now", six years after he and his bandmates announced that they would embark on their "farewell" tour. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, no, no, no. KROKUS is reborn. We all feel fresh again. We've had a really nice run and the feeling in the band is really harmonious. And I don't sense any bad vibes for doing my solo stuff, because they know I did it because I was in a lockdown situation and that's how it started and the ball kept on rolling. So it's something I'm doing not because I wanna leave KROKUS."

He continued: "KROKUS is my lifetime work; it's been my main baby since 1979, end of 1979, with a couple of breaks here and there. That happens in all bands, and we had so many musician changes and everything and ups and downs and troubles and lawsuits and all this. But we're still together because the music holds us together and our history holds us together. It's a sentimental thing. It's a brotherly love kind of thing without being cheesy about it, because we're not really like that. We don't meet up to go and drink a bottle of wine together or we don't really meet up outside working hours, if you like. I enjoy every time I have to drive down to Solothurn where the band comes from and do a rehearsal. And, yeah, it works. There's a nice team. The crew is fixed, and it's great."

With regard to the possibility of KROKUS making new music, Storace said: "Ah, yeah. Good question. That's what I ask myself. It would be nice, and I know there would be a lot of fans who would be thankful for that, but I don't see any sign of life in the creative way, except for the live stuff that we do. And the band has never been so good playing live, and it's really fun. And everything comes automatically nowadays. I mean, it would be nice, but who am I to talk, if everyone else is not [on the same page about it]."

Last year, Storace told Disturbing The Priest that he thought KROKUS was dead during the pandemic. "I really thought it was [over]," he said. "But then, you know how it is — we've all got this rock and roll virus in our blood. Music isn't easy to switch off. For us, it's like a hobby which turned to work, and we could manage to live off it, which is, for me, a golden thing. I really treasure the fact that what I do is what I love to do, what I loved to do when I was a kid already, and I'm still doing it."
