Bio:
Hailing from Denmark, Animalyze is a glam-rock powerhouse known for their explosive energy, catchy sing-along lyrics, wild riffs, and thundering drums. Their electrifying stage presence has left audiences enthralled and eager to see what surprises their next show might bring. “Truly an event to fill any lusting rock soul out there,” says one fan.Animalyze is a Danish glam-rock band, with members: Vikki Mahrt (Vocal), Clay Ronson (Guitar), Chris Clark (Drums) and Mike Lauren (Bass). The story of the band begins in 2017, when guitar player Clay Ronson crossed paths with drummer Chris Clark. A connection immediately sparked by a shared love of the energetic and raw attitude of the wild 80's Glam Rock scene. The vision was clear - and so began the journey for the perfect lineup to fulfill the missing pieces. It wasn’t up until 2022 when frontman Vikki Mahrt & bass player Mike Lauren joined the band, that the group was completed.In 2024, everything fell into place when the legendary Ken Anthony (Metallica, Pretty Maids, King Diamond ect.) came on board as the band’s manager. With his Rock’n’Roll expertise and drive, he injected new energy into the project, landing a record deal with Steelheart Records in Milano, Italy and paving the way for Animalyze to blast out their sound to a global audience.The band has recorded and released three singles and will soon release their debut album, "Powerhouse".
Album:
Hailing from Scandinavia, but this time from Denmark, ANIMALYZE pleased us past 2025 with their fun, energetic debut album. Their hard rock songs are straightforward, simple, effective with memorable choruses and a huge dose of fun. We would go so far as saying that this is the best glam metal debut heard since RECKLESS LOVE’s way back in 2011 – and we doubt that there’s a bigger compliment we can give it than that.Now 2026 ANIMALYZE are offering something different: a CD-only album titled “Raw & Reckless“, only available via the band’s website, a limited release.According to the band; “This ain’t just a record… it’s a double shot of ANIMALYZE combining two captured moments!”The first half of the CD is “RAW”, recorded unplugged at Sweet Silence Studio with Flemming Rasmussen (METALLICA, RAINBOW) as engineer, this is ANIMALYZE stripped, but no less rocking. The band re-arranged the best songs from debut CD ‘Wild For Free (Acoustic)’, ‘Kings Of The Night (Acoustic)’, ‘Beauty Is A Killer (Acoustic)’ and ‘Hunter Of The NIght (Acoustic)’ in uplugged format as the early ’90s MTV fashion: full instruments but no electricity. Additionally, they deliver a very good version of CHRISTOPHER CROSS’ classic ‘Ride Like The Wind (Acoustic)’.Second half of the disc is “RECKLESS”, the first time ever ANIMALYZE live recording, full electricity, captured live 2025 at Hard Rock Cafe, in the heart of Copenhagen. It’s an energetic showcase of how good ANIMALYZE are playing together.ANIMALYZE said; “This is how we wrote our songs. Acoustic guitar at hand. Welcoming you into our more intimate musical side has been something we’ve been working toward for a long time. This is the band at our most unhinged… and our most honest. You hear every note, every harmony, every heartbeat.””Well, you can hear us live as well… live, loud, sweaty as hell… captured at our Hard Rock Cafe show in september ‘25. Chaos, energy, everything we are on stage. This is the chaos we bring live — caught on tape so real it feels like you’re in the middle of it.”Engineered by Dane genius Flemming Rasmussen, Mixed & Produced by Rene Shades, ANIMALYZE’s ”Raw & Reckless” rocks – this a band with a true rock n’ roll soul and tons of attitude.
