Animalyze is a Danish glam-rock band, with members: Vikki Mahrt (Vocal), Clay Ronson (Guitar), Chris Clark (Drums) and Mike Lauren (Bass). The story of the band begins in 2017, when guitar player Clay Ronson crossed paths with drummer Chris Clark. A connection immediately sparked by a shared love of the energetic and raw attitude of the wild 80’s Glam Rock scene. The vision was clear - and so began the journey for the perfect lineup to fulfill the missing pieces. It wasn’t up until 2022 when frontman Vikki Mahrt & bass player Mike Lauren joined the band, that the group was completed.
In 2024, everything fell into place when the legendary Ken Anthony (Metallica, Pretty Maids, King Diamond ect.) came on board as the band’s manager. With his Rock’n’Roll expertise and drive, he injected new energy into the project, landing a record deal with Steelheart Records in Milano, Italy and paving the way for Animalyze to blast out their sound to a global audience.
The band has recorded and released three singles and will soon release their debut album, “Powerhouse”.
