Cheat Codes Follows Up Singles With Full-Length Album ‘Hellraisers Pt. 1’

One of the biggest phenomenon’s to ever hit modern electronic music, Cheat Codes, became global household names with “No Promises,” then going on to permeate the world of music with a storm of top-shelf time-testing singles and remixes. After unveiling many singles off the anticipated album, the untouchable trio now drop a full-length album Hellraisers Pt. 1. The album boasts a handful of collaborations from hot rising talents and encapsulates many of the best parts known from them all in one collective experience.

The title, “Hellraisers,” pays tribute to their late manager Michael Theanne who passed away in 2020 and had more than a positive impact and friendship with Cheat Codes.

The album here has a categorical aspect to it that’s worth noting. This first part embodies Trevor’s love of pop, while KEVI lets his colors shine mid-way through with hip-hop embracement, and the last selection showcasing Matthew’s dance music incorporation.

Uplifting, full of life, and certainly laced with a familiar infectious pop Cheat Codes is forever connected with, Hellraisers Pt. 1, is a multi-lateral experience that is putting this group right back in the limelight.

The name of the album, “Hellraisers,” was the nickname given to the group by their late manager, Michael Theanne, who passed away just over a year ago, describing their playful and adventurous lifestyle. The album itself has three parts – each part has a distinct sound influenced by each member. This first part is focused on Trevor’s pop-leaning sound, while the second part will be focused on KEVI’s hip-hop flavor, and the third part will be focused on Matthew’s dance-influenced sound.

Heavily influenced by pop music, the trio creates a colorful and vivid story that is seen throughout each song on Hellraisers Pt. 1. “Lean On Me,” the album’s lead single featuring Tinashe, will entice your ears from the very first listen. The bassline and use of different percussive elements carries the song’s emotion and ambition to center stage thanks to the group’s versatile skills. Tinashe and Trevor’s memorable vocals elevate the piece to the next level. With lyrics such as, “Baby when you’re falling, you can lean on me, when you don’t feel strong, when you don’t believe,” it’s hard to not relate.
