Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx are thrilled to unveil their new single “Call Of The Wild”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The track is accompanied by a new unofficial soundtrack music video, made with clips from the classic 1987 vampire horror/comedy “The Lost Boys”, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman and Jason Patric (among others).
Vocalist Danny Rexon comments on the track:
“I'm very proud to set free this new song upon our listeners and I'm really excited to see what the reaction from the fans is going to be like. Crazy Lixx have gone through some changes during this past year and, even though the overall sound and style should be familiar to most fans, I also believe that there are new and fresh components to this latest material (of which there will be a lot more coming of course, don't you worry about that). A lot of work has been poured into making this and I can't wait to finally get it out there for everybody to hear.”
Crazy Lixx recently celebrated their 20+ year career, with the compilation “Two Shots At Glory”, released on February 16th, 2024, and featuring reimagined renditions of their iconic successes.
The compilation was introduced by reimagined classics from the band’s catalogue “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”, “Lights Out!” and “Fire It Up!”, all accompanied by UST videos that draw inspiration from a wide range of films, from blockbuster hits of the 90s to lesser-known 80s B-movies. They've gained immense popularity with both new and longtime fans, amassing nearly 10 million views in the past year. Some of these videos have even gone viral and climbed the official YouTube rock music charts.
Consistently releasing one album after another, Crazy Lixx, the Swedish hard rock sensations, has solidified its position as the forefront leader in the resurgence of '80s hard rock within Scandinavia. With staggering views in the millions for well-loved videos such as “Wild Child” and “Hunter of the Heart” on YouTube, remarkable streaming figures for hit tracks like “Blame It On Love”, “Hell Raising Women”, and “XIII”, and the inclusion of “Wild Child” in the Nicolas Cage horror film “Willy’s Wonderland”, Crazy Lixx is unwaveringly advancing in their quest for global dominance.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10!
As someone who was raised by a hard rock dad and movies like 'The Lost Boys', witnessing Call of the Wild is a nostalgia unlike any other.
With all the hallmarks that make you go 'Oh, now that hits good' spliced with such a cult classic movie, it's hard not to listen to Call of the Wild a few times just to keep that vibe going. The power and grit behind Danny's voice is spine-tingling and, paired with sensational guitar work and gut-punching drums, Crazy Lixx seamlessly provides you with an incredible ode to 80's glam metal and hard rock.
Their collection of UST MV's featuring other movie classics have a timeless feeling, as though I'm tuning into a hard rock TV station to spend my afternoons as a kid watching movies like Stone Cold, Nightmare on Elm Street and Rocky in little snippets while sensational music plays in the background. And, as if these UST's couldn't get any better, we have 'Lock Up Your Daughters' over Highlander, and Lixx's rendition of 'Sword and Stone' paired with Excalibur. My high-fantasy-loving heart was stolen!
Safe to say that Crazy Lixx have a new-found fan nestled snugly in their back pocket. And Call of the Wild will be going straight onto my 'I obey the speed limit but pretend that I don't' playlist!
