A Netflix Exclusive: Hanoi Rocks Returns With Fiery New Single “Killing the Image”
Legendary glam rock band Hanoi Rocks is turning heads once again with their explosive new release *Killing the Image*, a high-energy anthem now streaming exclusively on Netflix. Known for their flamboyant style, punk attitude, and genre-defying sound, the Finnish rockers have returned with a vengeance — and they’re ready to reclaim the stage.
*Killing the Image* blends Hanoi Rocks’ signature sleaze-rock sound with a fresh, razor-sharp edge. Gritty guitar riffs, infectious hooks, and Michael Monroe’s unmistakable vocals rip through the track, delivering a powerful statement about fame, rebellion, and self-identity. The song tackles the pressures of public perception and staying true to one’s roots in a world obsessed with appearances.
The release is part of a unique collaboration with Netflix, who is also rolling out a short-form music film to accompany the track. Directed by a rising Scandinavian filmmaker, the visual component is a vivid, chaotic, and raw portrayal of the band’s rise, fall, and unexpected return — blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
Speaking on the project, guitarist Andy McCoy said, “This isn’t just nostalgia — this is Hanoi in full force, not imitating the past, but challenging the now.” The band’s signature glam look is intact, but with modern flair, and the visuals in the promotional poster say it all: unapologetically stylish, intense, and ready to tear down what people thought they knew.
Hanoi Rocks were major influences on acts like Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe, but they were often called the most underrated rock band of the ‘80s. *Killing the Image* might just be their long-overdue vindication — not a comeback, but a new chapter.
For fans old and new, this is more than just a song. It’s a declaration that Hanoi Rocks still has something to say — and they’re saying it louder, bolder, and more beautifully than ever.
