Talking about the release, Storace comments: “Krokus had stopped to exist because of Covid and no one really knew what the outcome of the pandemic would be, so not wasting time I started working on a solo album! “Live And Let Live” is rich in melodic vocals, colourful riffs, great guitar solos, many hooks and a solid driving rhythm section!!”

About the Bonus Live Album, Marc notes: “During the past three intensive years playing throughout Switzerland we recorded many gigs and the live album features the best of the crop, highlighting songs we recorded during hot performances in Zürich’s Hallenstadion as special guests of KISS, and The Scorpions, and whilst sharing the famous “Rock The Ring Festival” stage with Alice Cooper and his notorious band”. “Included on the setlist are songs from Krokus which we never play, like “Midnite Maniac” and “To The Top”; also a beefed up version of “Telephone Man” from my late seventies London band Eazy Money”, he continues.

“Live And Let Live” is Storace’s first official solo album. It was recorded during the 2021 lockdown of the Covid Pandemic, and was produced by Cyrill Camenzind and Massimo Buonanno at Powerplay Studios, near Zürich.

Cyrill, Massi and Marc composed some of the songs together, and they played on the album which also features the talented musicians Marco Blöchlinger on bass, Christian Roffler on keys, Jean Pierre Von Dach on lead guitar, and Gee K, Micha Dettwyler and Céline Hales on backing vocals.

After an internationally streamed «Baloise Session» gig in the legendary «Atlantis» of Basel-City in January, the first edition of the STORACE band embarked on a package-tour of Switzerland with the bands « Megawatt » and « Coreleoni » in March.

In May 2022, Storace embarked on a headliner club tour with a newly formed band. He wanted to deliver with an increased amount of that good old school hard rock feel, so in addition to Turi Wicki (lead Guitar), Dom Favez (ex-Krokus rythym Guitar) and Patrick Aeby (ex-Krokus drummer) joined the band, together with Emi-Meyer (bass).

The new Storace band then went on to play at the “Rock The Ring Festival” near Zürich along with Alice Cooper and, on July 7th, they opened for KISS at the Hallenstadion.

Their headline tour continued further in 2022, with the new Storace team becoming even more solid, delivering with much charisma and a strong punch!

On June 2nd, 2023, Storace played at the Hallenstadion again, opening for Scorpions. Drummer Patrick Aeby managed to record a selection of material taken from these fresh touring years, that is included as a bonus disc in the reissue of “Live And Let Live”.
