Iconic rocker Glenn Danzig released his latest full length album, Skeletons, this past November.

A labor of love that began in 1979, the album pulls back the curtain on the artist¹s influences with a collection of ten covers spanning artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, ZZ Top, and Aerosmith to Black Sabbath, The Troggs, The Everly Brothers, and more. Recorded across several years in Los Angeles, he quite literally reveals the bone structure for his own style and features some of the most striking album art of his career. Nodding to David Bowie's Pin Ups, the cover features Danzig and model Kayden Kross in Skullface.
"These are my skeletons", he affirms. "You may or may not know that I dig these songs. You could say that some of this music is the actual basis and skeleton of what I listened to growing up, ultimately informing the kind of music I like. It's the foundation."
