Liner Notes
Thrill of the Bite is Crazy Lixx's ninth album, a fine work that balances the glamour of 80s glam metal with a modern sonic punch. Released in February 2025 through Frontiers, it is their first proper studio album of all-original songs in a while. Robin Nilsson newly joined on drums. Arriving about three years after Street Lethal and following a compilation, it is a long-awaited record made up entirely of original songs.
Ballad-free drive reminiscent of Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe runs throughout. From the opener "Highway Hurricane" to the lead singles "Little Miss Dangerous," "Midnight Rebels" and "Call of the Wild," riff-centered songs line up. Under Danny Rexon's production, catchy choruses and glam aesthetics are alive and well. Here the band steers toward a heavier, riff-forward direction while never losing its signature melody. Its all-drive sequencing, with no ballads whatsoever, is a refreshing touch. One of the strongest works in a career of over 20 years.
