Shakra is a Swiss hard rock band founded in the late 1990s.

Shakra are not new comers to the metal scene like some may think. In fact they are very well established and releasing their 11th studio album on November 24, 2017. Shakra have been around since 1997 and toured with some big names in the music industry including HammerFall and Stratovarius. Snakes and Ladders looks to carry them right back to where they left off two years ago when they released High Noon.

Десятый полноформатный альбом швейцарской рок-группы Shakra вышел 29 января 2016 года. Главным событием для группы стало возвращение вокалиста Марка Фокса, певшего в Shakra с 2002-го по 2009-ый и отметившегося на знаковых альбомах «Rising» (2003) и «Fall» (2005).

Swiss melodic hard rockers SHAKRA have just released "Life Tales : The Ballads", a limited edition CD comprising the band's most celebrated ballads / midtempo tunes, only available in Switzerland and Germany.

Now, after nine studio albums, it’s time to look back on the band’s rich achievement over the years. “33 - The Best Of” includes 30 SHAKRA classics, taken from the afore mentioned nine studio albums and on top of that, 3 brand new and unreleased tracks of finest quality which easily can stand among the band’s best songs. Two songs are even taken from the long out-of-print live release “The Live Side”.
