YOU MISSED GOTTHARD? DON’T WORRY, THE DEFROSTED 2 ALBUM WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE THERE!

»Defrosted« released in 1997- was GOTTHARD’s very first live album. The extremely popular acoustic version was only the fourth album release from the Lugano based hard rockers and within three months it reached double-platinum status in Switzerland. Still to this day it’s seen as a cult-milestone within the bands career that helped establish their reputation as the most successful band from Switzerland. For more than 25 years, GOTTHARD have thrived in the global spotlight thanks to their outstanding songwriting and spectacular live shows; with a career that includes 16 No.1-albums, over three million records sold, multiple awards and over 2000 shows all over the planet.

And now, 21 years after the first edition, the circle is completed as GOTTHARD return to SONY Switzerland and Nuclear Blast with »Defrosted 2«, an ultimate unplugged-compilation of GOTTHARD’s greatest hits, recorded on the “Defrosted Tour“ in march. Even though the concept was the same as it was over 20 years ago – to capture the unique chemistry between the band and the fans – the circumstances that the band find themselves
in are different. Both the band and their audience have grown, and yet after 25 years it’s the same unparalleled intimacy that GOTTHARD bring to their live performances that makes this record what it is.

»Defrosted 2« was produced by Leo Leoni in collaboration with Nicolo Fragile and as usual, Charlie Bauerfeind was responsible for the mix. The double album, which will be released in the high-quality Ecolbook format and as a 4-fold vinyl version worldwide on December 7, 2018 was further refined in the Wisseloord Studio Hilversum, where legends like the ROLLING STONES, U2 and the SCORPIONS have already worked and recorded. A lovingly selected array of sophisticated acoustic arrangements and with two and a half decades of Hits, GOTTHARD celebrate exuberantly great moments, quiet memories and unsurpassed riffs on »Defrosted 2«– and make both old and new fans a cheerful unplugged gift that has really earned the best place on the shelf.
