Hardware is the fifth studio album by Swiss hard rock/heavy metal band Krokus, originally released in 1981. The album charted in the US, UK and other European countries and went on to become gold certified. The album continues the gritty, riff-driven style of its predecessor Metal Rendez-Vous, offering straightforward hard rock and heavy metal with cheeky lyrical flair. Engineered by acclaimed British studio professional Mark Dearnley (known for his work with AC/DC and Def Leppard), the record emphasizes energetic guitar work from Fernando von Arb and Tommy Kiefer. The singles on this album are "Rock City", "Winning Man" and "Smelly Nelly". Hardware is available as a limited edition of 666 numbered copies on red coloured vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
