CRASHDÏET has gone through turbulence several times in their career, with deaths, line-up changes, and a history of abuse but have become known for picking up the pieces and returning to the scene, every time they crash. Their undeniable flirt with the 80s big arena rock bands like Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, Skid Row combined with a notable element of punk, has made them a significant name in the revival of the sleaze and glam (or hair metal) genre. CRASHDÏET released their critically acclaimed debut album “Rest in Sleaze” in the fall of 2005 through Universal Music, giving them a spring of success in their home country. But shortly after, in January of 2006, their frontman Dave Lepard, was found dead in his home after committing suicide. The surviving members have carried the torch ever since, recruiting new frontmen, touring the world, and releasing six studio albums for their widespread fans.
The band has collaborated with superstars such as Mick Mars from Mötley Crüe and Michael Starr from Steel Panther.

CRASHDÏET is on the road again with a solid new line-up, still holding original members Peter London and Martin Sweet. Maybe not as decadent as in the early days, but always bringing on a high-octane live show that few people forget!

Go big or go home has been the motivated “catchphrase” for the members of CRASHDÏET ever since they started in early 2000. The band took the rock scene by storm at the beginning of the new millennium with their modern interpretation of the Mötley Crüe and Guns and Roses sound. Thanks to their unique sound and unique style, Crashdïet set new trends in both speakers and wardrobes. In 2010, they released their third album, Generation Wild, and the record became a great success worldwide. The band had the privilege of supporting both Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe on tour.

Today, Crashdïet surprises their fans with a previously hidden track from Generation Wild. The new single ‘Sick Mind‘ has only been available in Japan, until now! ‘Sick Mind‘ undeniably flirts with the great arena rock bands of the 80s, but also contains punk elements, something that has become characteristic for Crashdïet.

‘Sick Mind’ is out now on all streaming services!

After CRASHDÏET released their sixth album Automaton earlier in the year, you can now own the 12 eclectic metal tracks on limited edition vinyl via Crusader Records/Golden Robot. 

In addition to the limited edition vinyl, Crashdïet have surprised their fans with a music video for their fan-favourite single, ‘Shine On.’

Just like a gigantic robotic machine with pre-determined instructions, failure was never an option… No matter what obstacles may have come their way in the past, Crashdïet have always marched forward, delivering their own style of sleaze metal they have become so well known for. Automaton contains 12 powerful sing-along anthems with massive drums, guitars, bass, and powering vocals (including a surprise special guest and a haunting voice from the past)

You can purchase Crashdïet limited edition vinyl Automaton with a colour option of purple or red via the Golden Robot Records online store.

One of the biggest names in the glam metal/sleaze rock scene, CRASHDÏET, have today released their new album, Automaton, which is available now on digital platforms and CD via Crusader Records/Golden Robot Records. The limited-edition coloured vinyl is due for release on September 9.

To celebrate the release of Automaton, CRASHDÏET have also released a video clip for the track ‘Powerline’ featuring the one and only Michael Starr, vocalist of Steel Panther!

The first ever featured guest appearance on a CRASHDÏET album, this anthem tune gives you a soaring duet between vocalist Gabriel Keyes and the infamous Michael Starr. A powerful call to the wild.

ALBUM TRACK BY TRACK

Automaton
An atmospheric introduction to what is about to come. Includes a live sound bite from the band’s original vocalist the late Dave Lepard, pulling on the memories for the hard-core fans.

Together Whatever
A true party anthem! ‘Together Whatever’ explodes into raging guitars and scorching vocals, this is a tribute to the decadent good old days and the bands early roots. 

Shine On
In this all or nothing, going to the top, driving wall of sound. With this song the band sets its album mission. There are no compromises.

No Man’s Land
It’s a story about looking inwards and a hard charge moving forward, no matter what the cost. Sung with powerful and precise vocals, surrounded by thick driving bass, heavy guitar chops and rock-solid drums. 

Darker Minds
A powerful rock ballad, thick with layered vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. A song about feeling that something is not right and questioning if change is on the way.

Dead Crusade 
One of the heavier tunes from the album. The chugging wall of guitars make you want to levitate while a brilliantly performed, syncopated drum-track keeps you totally grounded. A dark song about the afterlife.

Powerline (feat. Michael Starr)
The first ever featured guest appearance on a Crashdïet album, this anthem gives you a soaring duet between vocalist Gabriel Keyes and the infamous Steel Panther vocalist Michael Starr. A powerful call to the wild.

Resurrection of the Damned
A heavy blaster, direct from the veins of classic heavy metal and drawing from the bands early influences circa 1989. When you’ve been pushed around for most of your life, you probably have a lot to say about it (and it’s not going to be nice). You’re going to scream for it to stop and resurrect the damned. 

We Die Hard
The notorious ways of the never-ending road which is the life we choose. A contagious mid-tempo rock anthem. A tribute to all the vagabond wanderers.

Shell Shock
A slow-driving powerful rock chugger full of dynamic vocals, guitars and gang-chorus shout-outs. A song about what happens when your temptations have taken over.

Unbroken 
A fast-tempo punch rocker with guitar driven melodies, powerful vocal ranges and some surprise feel changes that will keep you on your feet. Defiant and never looking back.

I Can’t Move On (Without You)
An airy 12-stringed acoustic guitar sets the feel of this classic rock ballad, featuring an astounding vocal performance complete with fat orchestral arrangements. A beautifully sensitive song, building up to a massively powerful ending.

CRASHDÏET are set to hit the road for a run of shows to promote the new album, with new live drummer Lacu (ex-Hanoi Rocks).

With the motto “go big or stay home” CRASHDÏET formed in Stockholm, Sweden, back in the year 2000 and brought in the new millennium with full-throttle speed and excess.

CRASHDÏET released their critically acclaimed debut album Rest in Sleaze in 2005, giving them a spring of success in their home country of Sweden and abroad.

Shortly after, their frontman Dave Lepard was found dead at his home, the result of a tragic suicide in January 2006.

With a career littered with abuse, tragic deaths and line-up changes, it nearly ended the band more than once, but they’ve become known for picking up the pieces and returning to the scene of the crime…every time.

The surviving band members and new blood have carried the glam-metal sleaze-rock torch ever since, touring the world and releasing many acclaimed studio albums.

CRASHDÏET are one of the biggest names in the glam metal/sleaze rock scene and the band recently signed to global rock powerhouse label Golden Robot Records. 

CRASHDÏET are back in the studio working on their 6th studio album, due out early 2022 and have  delivered a taste of what’s to come with their new single ‘No Man’s Land’ which is out now on all digital platforms. ‘No Man’s Land’ is also accompanied by a killer video clip.

Listen/Buy ‘No Man’s Land’ HERE

‘No Man’s Land’ is the first single from CRASHDÏET’s new studio album, which will be their first since 2019’s Rust. The single is sung with powerful and precise vocals, surrounded by thick driving bass, heavy guitar chops, rock-solid drums and scintillating production. ‘No Man’s Land’ is a story about looking inwards and moving forward, no matter the cost. ‘No Man’s Land’ sees the band on top of their game and once again proving Sweden as a world leader in this genre.
