The BRONX CASKET CO. - the band originally formed in 1998 by Overkill co-founder and bassist DD Verni - are releasing their long-awaited new album, Antihero, on January 25th via their new deal with eOne Music. The artwork has been revealed below:

Antihero tracklisting is as follows:

'AntiHero'

'Bonesaw'

'You Look Like Hell'

'Sally'

'I Never Loved You Anyway'

Having played in one of the most respected thrash bands ever for over two decades, why have another band. Two reason states DD, “the challenge of writing interesting new material and for fun of course!”

The band's second release caught the ear of playwright Andrea Lepcio. Soon after, Verni and Lepcio were collaborating with three-time Tony Winner Hinton Battle to direct and choreograph. Soon the seeds of The Bronx Casket Co., A New Musical were planted. Verni quickly recruited several members from the TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA to perform. The cast consisted of performers from the Broadway shows Hairspray, Rent and Dance of the Vampire. There have been several performances off-Broadway for producers/backers and the show is still in the writing stages. It has a gothic/Broadway score with a twisted love story woven throughout. Songs from the first two Bronx Casket Co. releases are included in the show, as well as 13 new songs D.D. Verni penned just for the musical.

It’s been five years since Bronx Casket Co. last released an album and has been well worth the wait. Verni concludes, "This Bronx Casket record is the best we have done, and we are looking forward to getting out on the road and doing some shows." As with every Bronx Casket Co. release Verni has charted new territory, and stretched his writing boundaries.
