The Collaboration: From Tour Mates to Studio Partners
The partnership blossomed after Shooting Daggers opened for Refused during the legends’ final tour. The trio felt a deep connection to Lyxzén’s unconventional stage presence and the band’s commitment to antifascism, veganism, and social justice.
The Vision: The band wanted a collaborator who defied the “generic hardcore singer” archetype. Lyxzén’s dancing, twirling, and fancy attire on stage made him the perfect fit for a song about fluid expression.
The Response: Lyxzén accepted the invitation immediately, stating he did not “hesitate for one second” to support the radical and fun energy of the trio.
