CROSSBONE SKULLY, Featuring ALICE COOPER Guitarists TOMMY HENRIKSEN And ANNA CARA, Announces 'Condemned To Rock N' Roll' Album

CROSSBONE SKULLY, the band formed by Tommy Henriksen (ALICE COOPER, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES),will release its sophomore album, "Condemned To Rock N' Roll", on January 29 via earMUSIC. Alongside the album announcement, CROSSBONE SKULLY dropped a brand-new single, "Riding With Angels", available now on all digital platforms.

Following the previously released single "Thunder Love", which features DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen, the new single offers another glimpse into the world of "Condemned To Rock N' Roll", an album that captures the full spectrum of the band's sound and spirit.

"Condemned To Rock N' Roll" draws inspiration from music that has shaped Henriksen throughout this life, from '80s metal, classic rock, pop, country, and everything in between. The result is what Henriksen 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 the album's 14 tracks, themes of love, rebellion, and survival collide with Henriksen's unmistakable songwriting and voice. At its core, lies a simple truth: "I didn't choose rock n' roll. I was condemned to it."

Fronted by Henriksen and featuring fellow ALICE COOPER guitarist Anna "Blackthorn" Cara, CROSSBONE SKULLY continues to expand its universe with a revolving cast of rock n' roll misfits and collaborators. Behind the scenes, the album reunites Henriksen with executive producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, acclaimed engineers Mike Plotnikoff and Olle Romo, mastering engineer Howie Weinberg, and Grammy-nominated mixer Jay Ruston, creating a powerhouse team behind the record.

Where "Thunder Love" delivered raw power and relentless energy, "Riding With Angels" reveals a different side of CROSSBONE SKULLY. 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."

CROSSBONE SKULLY's critically acclaimed debut album, "Evil World Machine", made a bold statement, featuring the singles "High On You", "The Boom Went The Boom", "Everyone's On Dope" and "I'm Unbreakable".

Super-producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange came out of retirement to work on "Evil World Machine" and served as executive producer on the effort, which came out in October 2024.

In a 2024 interview with Sentinel Daily, Henriksen said that CROSSBONE SKULLY had been in the works "since about 2018." He explained: "I believe it's one of those things where, it's, like, I'm always doing all different types of music. I've never been, like, 'I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.' Because music is — I don't know… music, it's life for me. When I do music, I do it because I love it. I don't ever sit back and go, 'I'm gonna do it for money, or I'm going to try and write a hit song.' And when I started CROSSBONE SKULLY, it actually was born out of soundcheck, pretty much, myself and Glen Sobel, the drummer for ALICE COOPER and HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES. He played all the drums on the record. Me and him would jam AC/DC songs during soundcheck, and I'd sing them. And our lighting guy just happened to say, 'You should do this. You're missing out.' And I looked at him. I was, like, 'What do you mean, man?' He [said], 'You should be doing it.' I used to do it back in the club days, when I was, like, eighteen years old, I was doing all that stuff. So what I did was whenever someone tells me anything, I always say I'm like a recorder. I'm always taking information, and I'm processing a lot of shit all the time. I went home and I thought about it and I started writing a couple songs, and the first song I did was 'The Boom Went The Boom'."
