Two CD edition. 2018 live album from the Swiss hard rockers. Defrosted released in 1997 - was Gotthard's very first live album. 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. 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.
