Bio:
Crazy Lixx is a Swedish glam metal band, formed in Malmö, Sweden in 2002. The group is another band belonging to the Swedish hard rock scene, with influences from bands like Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Kiss, Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe. Crazy Lixx have released a video clip for "Hell Raising Women", the first single from their upcoming album. The band's forthcoming self-titled studio album is due for release on November 7th in Europe and November 11th in North America through on Frontiers Music Srl.'Crazy Lixx' is the Swedish band's third release with Frontiers Music and is the follow-up to their 2012 masterpiece 'Riot Avenue'. That disc reached #4 on the Sleaze Roxx Top 10 of 2012 and was voted fourth best album of the year by readers of the website, trailing only Van Halen, KISS and Slash.Says lead singer and producer Danny Rexon, "We were discussing possible titles for the album and we didn't really feel like any of the suggestions were quite right. Then I came up with the idea of a making it a self-titled album and we all agreed this was the right time for one. You know, bearing the very name of the band, a self-titled album does have a lot to live up to, but we all felt that this album has what it takes to represent the band as a whole, both in terms of the songs, the sound and the performance."With their new album, Crazy Lixx show their growth as a band by sinking their teeth into eleven anthemic rock songs that will satisfy both the hardcore fans, as well as all fans of melodic hard rock and hair metal in general. By combining the strategies of recording and producing the album themselves, along with utilizing the mixing skills of the great Chris Laney, the band has once again returned to the bombastic sound of Crazy Lixx's earlier work while at the same time adding the improved song-writing and musicianship of today's Crazy Lixx."We learnt a lot through the years, especially when it comes to the recording process and we put all that knowledge and experience to use on this album. We used many different studio settings to record different parts of the album and did not rush the recording, but made sure everything was as good as it could get. At the same time we did not want to be too nitpicking with details, I mean we're still in the business of rock n' roll, right?," adds guitarist and co-producer of the album Andy Zata.In addition to returning to the old Crazy Lixx sound, the band has also re-recorded fan favorite "Heroes Are Forever" which was originally on the band's first, now out of print album. "It's this one song, that was our first single back in around 2006, that we've played on almost every live show we've done since then, but when we started to think about it, it was a song that a lot of our fans had no chance to ever listen to. The first album, 'Loud Minority', was released on a minor independent label, in a limited printing which has long since sold out, and it isn't available digitally either. Still we felt that the track was one of those songs that had a really fundamental Crazy Lixx vibe to it, so we decided to record it again and give the fans a nice treat. If you ask me, it came out way better this second time around," says drummer Joel Cirera.Newest and youngest member, bassist Jens Sjoholm adds, "Being my first album release with Crazy Lixx I don't really have any special expectations, but hearing the final result and seeing how fired up the guys are about it makes me look forward to seeing the reactions of the fans and media."With the addition of Jens Sjoholm and the return of original drummer Joel Cirera, Crazy Lixx Mk III proved to be the best line-up to date, both in concert and on record. "I think the fans will really enjoy what we've got in store for them with this album. Killer songs, great sound and memorable hooks combined with a bit of the twin guitar action and riff-based approach that we added to the sound on our last album," says guitarist Edd Liam."It's really a bit of a do or die, no guts, no glory situation -- after all, you only get one chance to do a self titled album, so make sure you do it good," concludes Danny Rexon.
Album:
New 4-tracks EP.Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx are thrilled to announce the release of their highly anticipated new studio album, titled “Thrill Of The Bite” and set for release on February 14th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.Vocalist Danny Rexon expresses his enthusiasm for the new album, by saying:“So stoked to finally reveal the news of our upcoming album, set to be released in February 2025. Even though we did release some new songs on the compilation album earlier this year, it has been quite a while since the fans got a proper full length studio album with all originals, but now we can finally announce that that time is soon upon us. And dare I say that this album is one really worth waiting for? Personally, I'm really proud and happy with how it came out and I think that the response to the two singles we've put out so far (“Call Of The Wild” and “Little Miss Dangerous”) gives us a clear indication that our fans seem to agree.”Since the latest studio album release with Street Lethal back in the winter of 2021, fans have been eager to hear new Crazy Lixx material, and even though the compilation album “Two Shots At Glory” (2024) gave the listeners some covers, fresh takes on old songs and a couple of new tracks, this next studio album is what they have all been dying to hear.“Thrill Of The Bite” promises to elevate Crazy Lixx’s rock music to new heights. Following the success of their previous album “Street Lethal” (2021), this new record is packed with powerful anthems, memorable riffs and melodies, electrifying guitar solos, and the larger-than-life sing-along energy that fans have come to expect from the band, delivering what is already shaping up to be one of the bands strongest works in their 20+ year career.The album features tracks that highlight the band’s ability to balance their nostalgic, sleaze-metal roots with their love for the 80s and early 90s, drawing inspiration from the flamboyant heavy metal and movies of that era alike. Crazy Lixx have teased a few tracks, suggesting a turn to a heavier, riff-driven style while maintaining their signature melodic choruses and glam-influenced attitude.With “Thrill Of The Bite”, Crazy Lixx are poised to continue their reign as one of Sweden’s premier retro hard rock bands, solidifying their legacy in the global scene while pushing their creative boundaries even further.Crazy Lixx are a Swedish heavy metal / hair metal / hard rock band hailing from Malmö, Sweden formed in 2002. Known for their energetic performances, catchy hooks, and an unapologetic revival of the glam metal sound from the late 80s, Crazy Lixx has become a flagship of the New Wave of Swedish Sleaze Metal. The band draws inspiration from acts like Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, RATT, Skid Row and Guns N’ Roses, creating a perfect blend of melodic hard rock with modern production values and a keen eye (and ear) for 80s and 90s nostalgia.Crazy Lixx first gained global recognition with their breakthrough albums “Loud Minority” (2007), “New Religion” (2010) and “Crazy Lixx” (2014), including hits like “Blame It On Love”, “21 'Til I Die”, “Hell Raising Women” and “Girls Of The 80s”, who have all become favourites among the fans and classics in the modern hair metal community.The band’s lineup has evolved over the years, but it is led by founder and frontman Danny Rexon, whose vocals, songwriting and music production skills are the driving force behind the group. Alongside him, the band currently consists of bassist and creative sidekick Jens Anderson, guitarists Jens Lundgren and Chrisse Olsson, and the newest addition in the form of drummer Robin Nilsson.
