It’s exactly five years ago when DANZIG’s latest studio album, Deth Red Sabaoth, was released. Now DANZIG and AFM Records have both agreed to continue their successful collaboration, which started in 2007 with The Lost Tracks.

The band finally returns this fall with their long-awaited cover album, Skeletons, which is a collection of GLENN’s renditions of some of his favourite classic songs from ZZ TOP and many more. A new studio album is due in early 2016.

In an interview with Rolling StoneGLENN DANZIG talks about Skeletons. The record features the 'Mother' singer's touch on songs by BLACK SABBATH, ZZ TOP, THE TROGGS, THE EVERLY BROTHERS and others. It's one of many projects he's been working on, including an EP of all ELVIS PRESLEY covers, a new LP of DANZIG originals and his recently released DANZIG Legacy film, but at the moment it's the project closest on the horizon that could arrive as early as next month.

"I had to put it out now or else there would be so many songs I'd want to do that I wouldn't be able to do it," he explains with a wide smile. "Even the way I did it, there are so many songs I still wanted to cover. My attitude with covers is, make it your own or else leave it alone."
