Metal Rendez-vous is Krokus' fourth album, and the first to feature Marc Storace (the current vocalist) on vocals. It was released in 1980 and was hugely successful, becoming a triple platinum album in Switzerland, and selling over 150,000 copies there alone. The track Heatstrokes charted number one in the British Heavy Metal Charts, and arguably opened up markets for Krokus in Britain and the United States, along with Bedside Radio and Tokyo Nights. Strangely, the song Tokyo Nights featured a reggae beat halfway through^[1].
