“We wanted to be bright and funny.” How Slipknot, Linkin Park and the Backstreet Boys helped turn a car salesman and a nurse into metal’s biggest party-starters, Electric Callboy
Electric Callboy’s latest video, for Let The Good Times Roll, continues the German electrocore band’s deliberately absurd visual style, featuring cameo appearances and a miniature version of the group. The single introduces their forthcoming album, Tanzneid, and reflects the high-energy blend of metal and techno that has made their live shows and online videos widely popular.
The band recently began its European festival run with major appearances at Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring and Download, and will headline Heavy Week-End in France. Tanzneid is their seventh album overall and second since 2022’s Tekkno significantly expanded their audience; the band say the new record pushes its predecessor’s techno-driven party atmosphere further. Their Babymetal collaboration Ratatata was voted Metal Hammer readers’ best song of 2025.
