Swiss hard-rock veterans Shakra released Just Live Loud! on September 4 through Frontiers Music Srl. It is the bands 14th studio album and its first release for Frontiers, with Mark Fox on vocals, Thom Blunier and Thomas Muster on guitars, Cyril Montavon on bass and Roger Tanner on drums.
The record runs to 12 tracks and keeps the guitar partnership at the center of Shakras sound, moving between riff-driven hard rock, melodic choruses and quieter material. The bands official site now lists the album as available, while Frontiers describes it as a heavier, more modern extension of the groups long-running European hard-rock approach.
For guitar listeners, this is a useful international release that could easily sit outside the usual US/UK headline cycle: an established Swiss band entering a new label chapter without abandoning the two-guitar identity that has defined much of its catalogue.

Why it matters
It is a fresh guitar-driven European hard-rock release from a veteran band, and the first Shakra album issued through Frontiers Music.
