CROSSBONE SKULLY, the band led by Tommy Henriksen (ALICE COOPER, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES) and Anna Cara (ALICE COOPER), will release its sophomore album, “Condemned To Rock N’ Roll,” on January 29 via earMUSIC. To mark the announcement, the band has also unveiled a brand-new single, “Riding With Angels,” which is available now on all major digital platforms.
Following the previously released single “Thunder Love,” featuring DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen, CROSSBONE SKULLY now offer another taste of what to expect from “Condemned To Rock N’ Roll.” The album showcases the full range of the band’s sound, energy, and spirit.
“Condemned To Rock N’ Roll” draws on the wide range of musical influences that have shaped Henriksen throughout his life, from ’80s metal and classic rock to pop, country, and everything in between. The result is a record that reflects Henriksen’s musical identity and everything he stands for: “‘Condemned To Rock N’ Roll’ is the sound of a life spent chasing the dream, the song, and everything that comes with it.”
Across its 14 tracks, the album brings together themes of love, rebellion, and survival, all delivered through Henriksen’s distinctive songwriting and unmistakable voice. At its heart is a simple truth: “I didn’t choose rock n’ roll. I was condemned to it”.
Led by Henriksen and featuring fellow ALICE COOPER guitarist Anna “Blackthorn” Cara, CROSSBONE SKULLY continues to build its own universe with a rotating lineup of rock ’n’ roll misfits and collaborators. Behind the scenes, Henriksen once again teams up with executive producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, acclaimed engineers Mike Plotnikoff and Olle Romo, mastering engineer Howie Weinberg, and Grammy-nominated mixer Jay Ruston, bringing together a powerhouse production team for the album.
While “Thunder Love” brought raw power and relentless energy, “Riding With Angels” showcases a different side of CROSSBONE SKULLY, revealing a more melodic and reflective dimension of the band’s sound. Henriksen explains: “‘Riding With Angels’ pays tribute to the people who have traveled alongside me — the ones who supported me, believed in me, and helped me get through to the light”.
