Mickey Lyxx Releases New Metal Single “Washington’s Spies”
NYC, USA — Mickey Lyxx unleashes “Washington’s Spies,” a hard-hitting metal single blending power metal precision with groove-driven intensity. Inspired by the Culper Spy Ring that operated across Long Island during the American Revolutionary War, the track dives into a shadowy world of espionage, coded messages, and high-stakes secrecy. Driven by crushing riffs, commanding rhythms, and soaring yet aggressive vocals, it captures both the tension of covert operations and explosive energy, fusing intricate melodies with headbanging grooves to create a dynamic, cinematic listening experience.
The single features a lineup of seasoned musicians with extensive touring experience. Mickey Lyxx delivers his signature blend of technical precision and relentless energy. Jill Gioia, former Trans-Siberian Orchestra member, brings commanding vocal power and melodic depth, cutting through the mix with both finesse and force. Steve MacQueen’s dynamic playing and technical mastery drive the track forward, adding weight and complexity to every section, while Lenny Rocillo lays down a powerful, driving bass foundation. The track is mixed and mastered by Joe Marselle, bringing clarity and impact to the band’s massive sound. Together, they craft a sound that is both massive and meticulously executed.
Reflecting on the track, Mickey Lyxx shares:
“I’m really proud to tell a story rooted in my home’s history. The Culper Spy Ring is such an important part of Long Island’s heritage, and bringing that to life through this kind of heavy, groove-driven track means a lot to me. It’s a piece of history that deserves to be loud, intense, and unforgettable.”
Steve MacQueen adds:
“This track hits at the perfect time with America’s 250th Anniversary coming up. It’s powerful, it’s aggressive, and it brings that history to life in a way that really connects with people today.”
