THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Crazy Lixx are a Swedish heavy metal / hair metal / hard rock band from Malmö. Known for their unapologetic devotion to the glam metal sound from the late ’80s, Crazy Lixx have become a flagship of the New Wave of Swedish Sleaze Metal. They draw 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 nostalgia with modern production.
Former in 2002, Crazy Lixx first gained global recognition with their breakthrough albums Loud Minority (2007), New Religion (2010) and Crazy Lixx (2014). Hits like Blame It On Love, 21 ‘Til I Die, Hell Raising Women and Girls Of The 80s have all become favorites 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, drummer Robin Nilsson.
The followup to their previous studio album Street Lethal (2021) and the compilation Two Shots at Glory (2024), Thrill Of The Bite aims to elevate their sound to new heights. The record arrives packed with powerful anthems, memorable riffs and melodies, electrifying guitar solos, and the larger-than-life singalong energy that fans have come to expect.
Thrill Of The Bite 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. The album’s preview singles found the band turning toward a heavier, riff-driven style while maintaining their signature melodic choruses and glam-influenced attitude.”
