Glenn Danzig's long-awaited collection of Elvis Presley covers, appropriately titled 'Danzig Sings Elvis', is scheduled for a fall release.

Last fall, Danzig told Full Metal Jackie's nationally syndicated radio show that he wanted to play "a few intimate shows" in support of 'Danzig Sings Elvis'.

"Every time I'd have downtime, or if I was working on soundtrack stuff, I would just record another Elvis track or two," he said. "So what started out as an EP, I now have more than enough for a full album; I have extra songs that won't even make it on the record. So I'm really gonna have to sit down and pick the songs that I really want on the record. But it came out really good; I can't wait for everyone to hear it. A lot of people ask me about it all the time when I'm on the road. So it will be nice to get it out in some period in 2019 and do some of those little intimate shows I was talking about."
 
Danzig previously covered Presley's 'Trouble' on his eponymous band's 'Thrall-Demonsweatlive' EP in 1993. He also recorded a version of 'Let Yourself Go' for 2015's 'Skeletons'.
 
In other news, Danzig has just put the finishing touches on the script for his next film, which will be a "vampire spaghetti western." Glenn will direct the movie, the casting for which will begin shortly.
