In a little over 17 years of existence, Gotthard has built a solid reputation in Europe. Proof of this is that the band has become a must on the current hard rock scene. Gotthard is therefore playing in the big leagues; Need To Believe will only confirm their already excellent reputation. Gotthard thus offers powerful and effective hard rock, enriched by quality ballads where Steve Lee’s voice seems to improve with the passing years. GOTTHARD delivers an album that is both disconcerting and fabulous. The kind of work that is appreciated over the long term and reveals its richness only with time and repeated listens, an album however filled with melodies so obvious that it is impossible not to bounce around or headbang. And as if that were not enough, the Swiss band will come to visit us by doing nothing less than opening for Deep Purple.
