"I'm really happy to have reached a new deal with Frontiers Music, whom Crazy Lixx have worked with for nearly 15 years, releasing six studio albums and one live album to this day. Leading up to this new record deal we've talked a lot about the ever changing music business and the place for rock music (and naturally Crazy Lixx) in it and I now feel confident that we are all on the same page and have the motivation, drive and willingness to try new things in order to reach the next level in the years to come. Work has already started on the coming releases and I can't wait to tell our listeners about it," says Crazy Lixx vocalist Danny Rexon.

"We've had a long working relationship with Danny Rexon and Crazy Lixx over the years and I consider them one of the truly great acts on the Frontiers' roster. Danny's passion and creativity and great production work, also with Chez Kane, and songwriting are an honor to have in our family! Danny's also got an insightful mind for the business and is a great and welcome collaborator for how we can continue to creatively promote Crazy Lixx in the ever-changing world of the music industry. Long live Crazy Lixx and long live ROCK," adds Serafino Perugino, President and Head of A&R, Frontiers Records.

With millions of streams across digital platforms and millions upon millions of video views on YouTube, album after album, Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx have continuously carved in stone their reputation as true leaders of the Scandinavian led ‘80s hard rock revival. With views in the millions for popular videos like “Wild Child” and “Hunter of the Heart” on Youtube, outstanding streaming numbers for tracks like “Blame It On Love”, "Hell Raising Women”, and “XIII”, and "Wild Child" being featured in the Nicolas Cage horror movie “Willy’s Wonderland,” Crazy Lixx are steadily continuing on their march for world domination.

Huge Crazy Lixx fan here and this is welcome news.

Good news.  

However, can't say I'm very interested in an album of re-mixes and re-records.  It does mention some unreleased/new material though so that could make it a bit more interesting.

Depending on how they are done it's a good idea and better than the old school cash grab that is a best of/greatest hits.

Was there some uncertainty before? I'm wondering if Frontiers is becoming difficult to work with. Or was he referring to his bandmates?

I don't know what the issues were but have heard rumours of Frontiers sometimes being a bit controlling, or at least trying to be. I think someone mentioned it when Shiraz Lane left them.

There is no doubting that Frontiers are the market leader in our genre, so maybe they think they have more bargaining power than they actually do. What is good though, is it appears Crazy Lixx owns the rights to their albums and Frontiers only has the licence to release them, so if CL do ever leave they can either look for a new label or re-release them themselves.

I do seem to remember not long ago Danny seemingly took a shot at Frontiers when he made some kind of comment when talking about Japanese bonus tracks, and said something like "Proper bonus tracks" which I took as mocking Frontiers recent habit of sticking acoustic or piano versions of songs already on their albums on the Jap releases.

Yeah, ok, all of that makes sense. I didn't realise Shiraz Lane left them.

They have released their last album and the EP before that on the Ranka Kustannus label which I believe is a Finnish label.
