8 New Sleaze Metal Tunes You Need To Hear Right Now (February)
Alright, it’s time for a new edition of Sleaze Radar. The end of February is here, and since we haven’t checked in since January, we owe you a rundown of the very best sleaze our Junkyard Radar has picked up. You know the drill, everything sleaze, but only the kind that’s quality and fits the Junkyard style.
Nothing but good vibes and dangerous frequencies. Here are 8 new sleaze metal tracks you need to hear right now!
Crashdiet – Sick Enough For Me
The second single from the album Art Of Chaos, which is coming out on May 8, and we have Crashdiet stepping into party-anthem territory in the vein of Danger Danger. Definitely unexpected and something rarely seen in the catalog of this legendary band, which mostly consists of fierce, hard sleaze metal songs. This is a single number 2 and we can now definitely say that chaos is indeed approaching…
Cyanide 4 – Reverse Roulette
The Greek gods of sleaze Cyanide 4 strike again hard and thunderous, with their new single. The first one since Gone With The Wind in 2024 and the album Amalgama from 2022. Maybe an introduction to a new album? We’re waiting for confirmation, and until then enjoy Reverse Roulette.
Confess – Metalmorphosis
Confess have also presented their second single from the upcoming album Metalmorphosis, which carries the same name and will be available on May 15. Looks like the guys did some kind of meta(L)morphosis into a power metal teritorry. Surprising, but let’s see what else we will get!
Sister Sin – Suicide Hill
The legendary Swedish Sister Sin, led by the charismatic Liv Jagrell, have returned after a 12-year recording hiatus. The new single, as they say, was created out of love for making new music, without any big plan for now. Basically, that’s not even important. What matters is that they’re back. Heavy sleaze is not the same with or without this brilliant band.
Glitter Litter – Final Summer Night
Now let’s turn to the bubbleglam side of the sleaze-glam spectrum. The melodramatic Glitter Litter release another sugar-coated punky glam single, Final Summer Night. You thought this subgenre went extinct back in the ’90s or disappeared with Peppermint Creeps? Well, you were wrong. Andreass, the guy from Sweden behind this band/project, is making a serious effort to give you the taste and the vibe of music drenched in Coconut (Teaser) oil and crayons – and he succeeds devilishly well.
Hardline – Rise Up
The famous ’90s “late in the game” melodic glam band Hardline are back with a new single, Rise Up, which will appear on the album Shout (April 17). No, we’re not going to talk about “red cars” or “hot cherries,” nor about the legendary 1992 album Total Eclipse. This is a continuation of the story from 2021 and the album Heart, Mind and Soul. Johnny Gioeli, reinforced by stars of the Italian Serie A like Alessandro Del Vecchio (just kidding, of course), keeps pushing forward strong.
The Cruel Intentions – Living Out Of Line
Banger after banger! The Cruel Intentions have no intention of backing down even an inch. Living Out Of Line is the second single and a continuation of the story from the album All Hail Hypocrisy. We’re waiting for May 29 – it’s going to be hot – and we also did a reaction to this sleaze masterpiece.
Erik Grönwall – Bad Bones
Erik Grönwall has finally returned, and this time without a band behind him and without the YouTube wheel of fortune and cover songs. The first solo track from his debut solo album Bad Bones is the beginning of something completely new, both for Erik himself and for the genre as a whole. You remember, we talked about it. Maybe it’s time for sleaze glam to get its own singer/songwriter performers. And who better to start that than Erik himself.
