Right out of the gate, Electric Callboy tears into their HellFest 2025 set like a band shot from a cannon. The crowd’s roars match the kinetic force of their opener, “Pump It,” proving that the fusion of synthcore, metalcore, and unapologetic party energy still hits like a freight train. Frontmen Nico Sallach and Kevin Ratajczak dominate the stage with a chemistry that feels both chaotic and choreographed — a full-contact sport of synchronized screams, clean vocals, and tongue-in-cheek bravado. You can hear the fans erupt with every drop and chorus, already drenched in sweat by the first track.
Their stage presence is nothing short of bonkers. Electric Callboy trades in theatrics and immersion, and HellFest got the full package — neon lights, dancers in retro fitness gear, airhorns, inflatable flamingos, and an energy that feels like a Euro-club exploded inside a metalcore venue. “We Got the Moves” was a highlight, with the crowd bouncing in perfect unison to its comedic choreography and EDM-infused breakdowns. It’s absurd, yes, but that absurdity is half the magic. You either get it or you don’t — and judging by HellFest’s reaction, everyone got it.
What really stands out in this video is how masterfully the band controls the flow of their set. They jump from tongue-in-cheek bangers like “Spaceman” to heavier-hitting pits like “Castrop X Spandau” without missing a beat. The transitions are flawless, allowing for both headbanging intensity and dance-worthy hooks. It’s not easy to balance comedy, brutality, and musicianship, but Electric Callboy thrives in this space, turning it into a genre entirely of their own.
Midway through the performance, they drop “Hypa Hypa” — arguably their most viral and ridiculous anthem. The moment is pure festival ecstasy. The entire front row screams lyrics back at them, phones in the air, fists pumping. You can’t fake that kind of connection. It’s clear the band knows how to work a massive festival stage without losing the intimacy and banter that makes their smaller shows so charming. Kevin’s mid-song crowd shoutouts and Nico’s constant grins just add to the communal chaos.
The video captures a band completely in their element — absurd, aggressive, full-throttle fun. Electric Callboy live at HellFest 2025 isn’t just a concert, it’s a full-on audiovisual assault with a sense of humor and serious technical chops. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just discovering them, this set proves they’re not a gimmick — they’re one of the hardest working and most entertaining live bands in metal today. Forget subgenre politics — when a crowd that massive loses it to keytars and crabcore dropkicks, you know you’re witnessing something special.
