DANGER (1989)
DANGER was a Swiss hard rock band active in the 1980s, based in Winterthur, in the greater Zurich area. The band became well known for their extravagant live performances, featuring rotating saw blades, striking pyrotechnics, and an overall spectacular stage presence.
In 1988, DANGER recorded their first demo tape, First Strike, which attracted the attention of an international music management company. This collaboration led to DANGER being selected as the supporting act for OMEGA, Hungary’s most famous rock band. With this achievement, DANGER became only the second Swiss band—after Krokus—to perform in the country’s largest stadiums, playing to audiences of over 20,000 people.
Following numerous concerts, DANGER successfully supported W.A.S.P. during their 1989 show at Volkshaus Zurich. That same year, the band released their debut single “Down on My Knees / When My Heart Cries”, produced by Fernando von Arb, guitarist of Krokus.
