ELECTRIC CALLBOY have announced their new studio album 'Tanzneid,' due August 7 via Century Media Records. The announcement arrives alongside a new single and video, "Hypercharged," created in collaboration with the globally popular mobile game Brawl Stars. The track also introduces a new in-game character named Damian to the Brawl Stars universe.
On the gaming collaboration, ELECTRIC CALLBOY said: "We've always been massive gaming fans, so teaming up with Brawl Stars felt like a perfect match from the start. The track came together naturally, and we loved seeing it take shape as Damian's theme. Damian fits our sound like he was built for it — heavy, explosive, and impossible to ignore."
The band described 'Tanzneid' as their most ambitious record to date: "After our album 'Tekkno' and all the worldwide touring, 'Tanzneid' took everything out of us. It was intense, exhausting, but also exactly what we needed. Every track surges with energy. We took what we loved about 'Tekkno' and pushed it further, adding new elements, new sounds, and new extremes."
Preorders are now live with a range of exclusive collector's editions. The release will peak at Escalation Fest 2026 — the band's own festival in Berlin's Wuhlheide — where ELECTRIC CALLBOY will perform the album live for the first time, joined by PALEFACE SWISS, ALESTORM, and HEAVYSAURUS among others.
ELECTRIC CALLBOY — formerly known as ESKIMO CALLBOY — are currently on a global world tour with North American dates this April, with European festival appearances and Japan and Australia legs to follow.
