Sweden’s CRASHDÏET are pioneers of glam and sleaze metal, a band forged through turbulence, tragedy, and sheer determination. With a career marked by line-up changes, personal losses, and highs and lows on the global stage, they have consistently risen from the ashes — true survivors of the rock scene.
Their sound is a fearless collision of 80s arena rock swagger — think Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, and Skid Row — infused with a raw punk attitude, solidifying their role in the revival of sleaze and hair metal. Their debut album, Rest in Sleaze (2005, Universal Music), earned critical acclaim and launched their career in Sweden. After the heartbreaking loss of frontman Dave Lepard in 2006, the remaining members kept the flame alive, recruiting new vocalists, touring worldwide, and delivering six more studio albums to their dedicated fanbase.
