“Let’s do a record!” - was Powell's enthusiastic invitation when the band recorded the song "Animal Keeper" a year earlier in his studio in Nashville, which is by many considered to be the capital of music. Inspired both by this vibrant city and past experiences, singer and guitarist Mathias Schenk wrote the 11 songs for the new album "Crooked For You". The ideal recording location with Vance Powell was quickly found: the famous ICP Studios in Brussels, about which the soul legend Solomon Burke enthused: "This is the kingdom of sound and soul!" The third album in Death by Chocolate was released in the spring of 2017 and has cemented the band's position in rock music business for good.
Line-up of the band: Mathias Schenk, Thomas Schläppi, Daniel Schläppi, Daniel Wyttenbach, Kevin Chesham.
