CRAZY LIXX ready to rock again with “Riot Avenue”

Posted on Feb 15, 2012

Frontiers Records have announced the release date of CRAZY LIXX’s anticipated third studio album: “Riot Avenue” on April 20th in Europe and April 24th in North America.

Almost an exact decade after vocalist Danny Rexon and ex-guitarist Vic Zino (now in Hardcore Superstar) started playing together under the name Crazy Lixx, the band is about to release what, without a doubt, is their strongest and most focused album. “Riot Avenue” includes 11 track hard rocking tracks that appeals both to the old fans, as well as a new crowd with its faster tempo and riff-based approach.

"We’ve been trying to make this album heavier than our previous releases and this time it meant doing it ourselves. We haven’t been using an external producer but just listened to what we wanted and what we felt would be the right step to take… and if you ask me, we’ve nailed it. Can’t wait to let people hear our new stuff!" – says vocalist and sole remaining founding member Danny Rexon.

At the same time the band is once again decimated down to three members with the recent departure of drummer Joél Cirera and bass player Loke Rivano (both featured on the new album) and the remaining members will look long and hard to replace the rhythm section, before the tour starts in the late spring of 2012.
