REVIEW : CRAZY LIXX --- Forever Wild (Frontiers Music s.r.l., Release: 17 May 2019)

Hailing from Sweden, Crazy Lixx are considered one of the leaders of the Scandinavian New Wave Of Melodic Hard Rock scene. With already five full-length albums on their sleeve, Crazy Lixx return to business with their brand new opus entitled "Forever Wild". The new opus it's gonna be released through Frontiers Music this May.


As in their previous records, the same here Crazy Lixx continue to deliver big choruses, loud guitars, powerful performances and, of course, this late 80's, early 90's, vibe that recalls to bands such as Skid Row, Danger Danger, Firehouse, Motley Crue and all these great bands that made a huge success back in the days. 

The first couple of tunes of the new album, "Wicked" and "Break Out", are both killers! Both include these well-known explosive hooks n' choruses, heavy guitars and this blasting melody that made Crazy Lixx famous! "Silent Thunder" is yet another highlight out of "Forever Wild" and features a more straight forward rhythm and, of course, a chorus line to sing-a-long for days! More in an early Skid Row vibe the next tune with the title "(She's Wearing) Yesterday's Face" while in "It's You" we are dealing with a monstrous and more commercial tune that is among my personal favorites out of the new record. The 80's influenced ballad of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is great and could easily have been a major hit back then. The song that closes this really amazing record is entitled "Never Die(Forever Wild)" and it's a fast-paced, ultra melodic hard rock gem that you gonna love! 

Crazy Lixx's new release, "Forever Wild", is an hymn to the glorious days of Hair Metal/Melodic Hard Rock scene. An opus that includes big and memorable hooks n' choruses, killer songs, passionate vocals, a massive production and it's gonna be a future classic! Crazy Lixx are back with a vengeance! 

Rating : 10/10
