ELECTRIC CALLBOY on their new single and Brawl Stars collab:
“We’ve always been massive gaming fans, so teaming up with Brawl Stars felt like a perfect match from the start. The track came together naturally, and we loved seeing it take shape as Damian’s theme. Damian fits our sound like he was built for it. Heavy, explosive, and impossible to ignore. It’s pressure, groove, and madness all at once. We love it!” THE VIDEO WILL PREMIERE HERE AT

ELECTRIC CALLBOY comment on the upcoming album:
“After our album TEKKNO and all the worldwide touring, TANZNEID took everything out of us. It was intense, exhausting, but also exactly what we needed after all the incredible moments we shared during that era.“With TANZNEID, we wanted to create something special, for our fans and for ourselves. Every track surges with energy. We took what we loved about TEKKNO and pushed it further, adding new elements, new sounds, and new extremes. Heavy beats, explosive drops, and moments that hit you right in the chest. The last singles ‘RATATATA’ and ‘Hypercharged’ were just the beginning. Now it’s raw, loud, and alive, in every pulse, every scream, every melody.“We wanted to match our music with your adrenaline, to create a record that pulls you onto the floor, makes your heart race, and doesn’t let go.“TANZNEID is built for the stage. So turn it up, lose yourself, and dance like no one’s watching.” |

ABOUT ELECTRIC CALLBOY:
ELECTRIC CALLBOY are nearly impossible to categorise, and that’s exactly the point. Since forming in Germany in 2010, they’ve grown into a global force, driven by genre-defying hits like ‘Hypa Hypa’, ‘We Got The Moves,’ and ‘RATATATA’ (with BABYMETAL). Their 2022 album TEKKNO amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide, cementing their place at the forefront of modern heavy music.With TANZNEID, the band push their sound even further, sharpening their signature mix of pop hooks, techno energy, and heavy breakdowns. Written in between relentless touring, across backstage areas, buses, and brief studio sessions, the album carries a raw sense of urgency, capturing the band at their most instinct-driven and immediate.Built on contrast, ELECTRIC CALLBOY’s strength lies in blending extremes into something that feels seamless. On TANZNEID, that balance reaches a new level of precision, pairing high-impact energy with a more refined approach to songwriting and dynamics.TANZNEID finds ELECTRIC CALLBOY at their most focused and fearless, driven by momentum, creative freedom, and a clear refusal to stand still.ABOUT BRAWL STARS:
Brawl Stars is a fast-paced, team-based mobile game from Supercell where players battle across a variety of maps and game modes, each designed for quick, action-packed play. Featuring a colourful cast of Brawlers with unique abilities, the game has surpassed one billion lifetime downloads since its global launch in 2018, building a passionate worldwide community. Constantly evolving with new characters, features, and ways to play, Brawl Stars continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile gaming.As one of the most popular mobile games in the world, Brawl Stars lets players team up with friends and dive into fast-paced multiplayer mayhem across a variety game modes, choosing from a roster of unique Brawlers, each with their own abilities and playstyles.Having survived a failing heart and countless surgeries, Damian (releasing in-game on 24th April) now fights with a pacemaker, proudly claiming to have a true metal heart. He completes the MadEvil Manor trio, joining Lumi on the drums and his little brother, Draco on guitar, as the bands long-awaited lead singer. When brawling, Damian controls the fight, trapping enemies in his arena and setting them ablaze with his punches. |
