Background

About Electric Callboy

Electric Callboy formed in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany in 2010 under the name Eskimo Callboy. From the beginning, the band sounded like a collision between metalcore, club music and internet culture: heavy breakdowns, screamed vocals, trance synths, party energy and a sense of humour that made them stand apart from more serious metalcore acts.

Their early albums Bury Me in Vegas, We Are the Mess, Crystals and The Scene built a cult following across Europe. Songs like Best Day and MC Thunder showed the formula before it fully exploded: huge electronic hooks, ridiculous visual ideas and enough heaviness to keep them rooted in the metal scene.

The biggest turning point came in 2020, when Nico Sallach joined and the band released Hypa Hypa. The song became a viral breakthrough and completely reintroduced the band to a wider audience. Suddenly, Electric Callboy were not just a niche electronicore band — they were a global heavy music phenomenon with videos built for replay, hooks built for festivals and breakdowns built for chaos.

In 2022 the band changed their name to Electric Callboy and released TEKKNO, their biggest album to date. With We Got the Moves, Pump It, Spaceman and Hurrikan, they turned their sound into something sharper, brighter and more stadium-ready. The later singles RATATATA with BABYMETAL, Elevator Operator, Revery and Tanzneid kept pushing the band into even bigger international territory.

Ranked

Top 10 Electric Callboy Songs

Ranked by hooks, heaviness, live impact, viral reach and how well each track captures Electric Callboy’s electronicore chaos.

01
Hypa Hypa
MMXX
The song that changed everything. Hypa Hypa took the band’s electronicore formula and made it instantly memeable, catchy and festival-ready. It is ridiculous in the best way, but it works because the chorus is genuinely huge and the breakdown still hits hard.
2020
02
Pump It
TEKKNO
Gym culture parody turned metalcore anthem. Pump It is one of Electric Callboy’s best examples of comedy and heaviness working together rather than fighting each other. The video helped it spread, but the riff, drop and chorus are strong enough to stand on their own.
2021
03
We Got the Moves
TEKKNO
Pure Electric Callboy chaos: party chants, dance beats, screams, breakdowns and a video that knows exactly what it is doing. We Got the Moves became one of the songs that proved the band could turn joke energy into real live power.
2021
04
RATATATA
Single with BABYMETAL
A perfect crossover with BABYMETAL because both artists understand that heavy music can be colourful, theatrical and still genuinely crushing. RATATATA became one of Electric Callboy’s biggest international moments and fits naturally into their live-party identity.
2024
05
Spaceman
TEKKNO
Featuring Finch, Spaceman leans into German party energy, EDM bounce and absurd sci-fi visuals. It is one of the clearest examples of the band making metalcore feel like a massive pop event without losing the heavy punch.
2022
06
MC Thunder
The Scene
One of the classic pre-viral Electric Callboy songs. MC Thunder has the comedy, the electronic lift and the breakdown structure that would later become central to the band’s biggest era. It remains a fan favourite for a reason.
2017
07
Everytime We Touch
Single
Covering Cascada could have been a cheap joke, but Electric Callboy made it feel completely natural. The original’s Eurodance energy already sat close to the band’s DNA, and the metalcore version turns it into a live singalong weapon.
2023
08
Hurrikan
TEKKNO
Hurrikan is one of the funniest and sharpest curveballs on TEKKNO. It starts with bright schlager-style energy before detonating into a brutal final section, making it a perfect example of the band’s love of bait-and-switch songwriting.
2022
09
Elevator Operator
TANZNEID
A newer Electric Callboy track that keeps the band’s high-energy formula moving forward. Elevator Operator is slick, bright and built around the kind of hook that feels designed for both festival crowds and short-form video clips.
2025
10
Tanzneid
TANZNEID
Tanzneid gives the newer era a darker, club-heavy edge while keeping the band’s sense of movement and humour. It works as a statement that Electric Callboy are not just repeating the TEKKNO formula — they are expanding it.

Discography

Electric Callboy Albums: Where to Start

Key albums and releases with honest notes on who each one is for.

2012
Bury Me in Vegas
Start here if: you want the raw early chaos
The debut captures the band’s earliest electronicore sound: messy, loud, immature and full of the party-metal attitude that would later become more focused.
2014
We Are the Mess
Start here if: you want cult-era Electric Callboy
A sharper version of the early formula, with more confidence and more polished production. It is still chaotic, but the band’s identity is much clearer here.
2015
Crystals
Start here if: you want the early fan favourite
Crystals is one of the stronger releases from the pre-viral era, with Best Day showing how the band could mix catchy hooks with breakdown-heavy metalcore.
2017
The Scene
Start here if: you want MC Thunder era
The album that contains MC Thunder and best shows the band beginning to turn their comedy-electronicore sound into something bigger and more deliberate.
2019
Rehab
Start here if: you want the darker transition album
Rehab sits just before the band’s biggest shift. It is a transitional record: still recognisably Electric Callboy, but not yet the bright viral version of the band that would arrive with Hypa Hypa.
2020
MMXX
⭐ Best starting point: breakthrough era
The release that introduced Nico Sallach and changed the band’s future. Hypa Hypa is the key track, but the whole release captures the moment Electric Callboy became something much bigger.

TEKKNO
⭐ Best starting point overall
The essential Electric Callboy album. We Got the Moves, Pump It, Spaceman and Hurrikan make this the clearest, biggest and most complete version of their sound.
2026
TANZNEID
Start here if: you want current Electric Callboy
The newer era built around songs like Elevator Operator, Revery, Tanzneid and Hypercharged. It points toward a darker, clubbier and even more global version of the band.
