Swedish sleaze metallers Smoking Snakes are thrilled to share their new single and accompanying video “Rocking To The Morning Light”, taken from their debut album “Danger Zone”, that was released on February 9th, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl.
“With “Rocking To The Morning Light” we want to capture the essence of a night that never ends”, stated the band. The official video was shot in the same location where Abba filmed the video “The Winner Takes It All”, in July 1980.
Smoking Snakes are known for their high-energy performances and a sound that pays homage to the golden era of rock while infusing a contemporary edge. With their debut album “Danger Zone”, the band aims to solidify their place in the sleaze metal genre and captivate audiences around the globe: “It’s our aim to start writing a new chapter for the music we love. We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but at the same time, we are using our own experiences and passion for the sleaze genre and are committed to keeping it alive”.
Produced by Jakob Herrmann, known for his work with a wide range of acclaimed acts such as Amaranthe, Raised Fist, and Evergrey, “Danger Zone” is a sleaze metal masterpiece. Herrmann, who has honed his skills working with artists like Anthrax, Europe and Hardcore Superstar, lends his signature touch to the album recorded at his iconic Top Floor Studios.
In 2022, Smoking Snakes made a thunderous entrance onto the music scene, grabbing attention with a self-released demo that cranked up the volume to 11. Their distinctive blend of powerful old-school rock with a modern edge garnered acclaim, drawing inspiration from iconic artists such as W.A.S.P., Ratt, Dokken, and Kiss. Recognizing their potential, Frontiers, a heavyweight label in the industry, eagerly welcomed Smoking Snakes into their roster.
With a perfect blend of raw energy, infectious melodies, and a commitment to the essence of sleaze, Smoking Snakes are poised to make a significant impact on the global music scene.
