( votes)Ruff Justice is the fifth studio record by Swedish Glam Metal band Crazy Lixx, and the first to feature new guitarists Chrisse Olsson and Jens Lundgren. Set to be released April 21, 2017, Ruff Justice is the record fans of ’80s Glam Rock and Hair Metal have hoped would be created. Every song could easily have been a radio Top 10 in the heyday of this genre. Danny Rexon’s vocals are clean and powerful, and spot on, delivered with abundant Rock and Roll swagger, very reminiscent of Kip Winger and Sebastian Bach. Members Joél Cirera – drums and Jens Sjöholm – bass round out the lineup of Crazy Lixx, and turn in stellar performances as well.
The songs are well written, and the record is a top-notch production. Ruff Justice covers the gamut of styles within the genre, and the listener will hear elements of Winger, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Kiss, Dokken, Ratt, and many others of the best of the best and most influential artists of the era. It’s very rare indeed to have every song be a winner on a record, and Ruff Justice accomplishes exactly that. Three of the songs, “Live Before I Die”, “XIII” and “Killer” , were selected to be used on the soundtrack of the video game version of Friday the 13th, The Game, scheduled for a 2017 release. If you are a fan of Glam Rock and ’80s Hair Metal, you owe it to yourself to listen to this record. You won’t be disappointed.
