The German metalcore band Electric Callboy is back with «Tanzneid». The new album continues their blend of metalcore, EDM, and pop, expanding it to include punk and ’90s pop. In February 2027, the six guys from Castrop-Rauxel will also be coming to Bern with their new songs.
Since 2010, Electric Callboy has been developing its own sound, which combines heavy guitars, electronic beats, and pop hooks. With songs like «Hypa Hypa», «We Got The Moves», and «Pump It», the band from Castrop-Rauxel has gained recognition even outside the metal scene. In 2022, they also reached number one on the German album charts with «Tekkno».
The new album features a total of 14 tracks. Among them is the song «RATATATA», which was released back in 2024 and was created in collaboration with Babymetal. Electric Callboy defies easy categorization and can effortlessly switch between genres, as they prove not least with the track «The Way You Are». What at first glance looks like a ’90s Backstreet Boys-style boy band song gets really (and I mean really) intense in the second half! That’s why the official video for the song comes with a trigger warning. If you still want to watch it—go right ahead… We warned you.
If you’ve gotten a taste for it and would like to see Electric Callboy live, you’ll have the chance on February 21, 2027. The band will be performing a concert in Switzerland—more specifically, at the BERNEXPO Festhalle. Tickets for the show are already on sale.
