Danzig - Skeletons

Released in 2015, Skeletons is the tenth studio album from the legendary Danzig, a "vibrant and brilliant" collection consisting entirely of cover versions. Hand-picked by Glenn Danzig himself, these tracks span the 1960s through the 1980s, paying homage to the artists that built the foundation of his "noir-punk" and "heavy-metal-blues" aesthetic. From the "raucous energy" of garage rock to the "cinematic grit" of classic biker film soundtracks, Skeletons is an "unflinching and honest" look at the songs that haunt Glenn's musical soul.

The album features a "stripped-back, primitive" production style, capturing the "soul-baring" essence of the originals while injecting them with Danzig's signature "low-register growl." Whether it’s his take on The Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, or the "hallucinatory" psychedelic rock of The Litter, this record functions as a "sonic autopsy" of Danzig’s influences, all wrapped in a cover that pays homage to David Bowie’s Pinups.
