Swiss hard rock icons Gotthard have officially launched their second single, “Thunder & Lightning,” from their forthcoming album Stereo Crush. The track, filled with electrifying guitar riffs and a powerful narrative about love, provides a burst of energy as the band continues to build anticipation for their upcoming release. The song’s emotionally charged storyline and upbeat melodies have already captured the attention of rock fans worldwide.
In addition to the single release, Gotthard has revealed the cover artwork for Stereo Crush, which will drop on March 21 via RPM. Designed by Thomas Ewerhard, a longtime collaborator with the band, the cover visually conveys the album’s raw emotion and honesty.
Singer Nic Maeder shared insights into the song’s creation, explaining how the track evolved from a simple musical idea by guitarist Freddy Scherer into a profound metaphor about love. Drawing inspiration from the imagery of thunder and lightning, Maeder crafted lyrics that explore the concept of love at first sight, likening it to being struck by a bolt of lightning—a theme that resonates deeply in the band’s latest release.
