This Friday, November 27th, will see the release of Danzig‘s new covers album, “Skeletons“. Noisey got ahold of Glenn Danzig to discuss the album, his influences and more. During the conversation Danzig also revealed when he expects the next proper full-length album from his band to emerge:
“There’s always stuff to write about, but I think that the whole punk thing helped a lot. If it gets boring, change it, fix it, make it exciting, make it relevant again, and that’s what I did without sacrificing the music. That’s what I try to do. I try to do stuff where first thing is I’m excited about the record, and then I hope that the people who listen to my music are gonna dig it too.
That’s pretty much how I go into doing a record, and I don’t do a new record until I have stuff to write about it. I don’t force myself to do a record. Someone doesn’t come to me and say, “Hey, it’s been a year or two since your last record. You’ve gotta write a record and put one out in a couple of months.” No one comes to me and says that to me. The covers record I’ve been working on for a while, but the last new Danzig material came out in 2010.
The new record is about three-quarters done, and by the time that comes out it’ll have been probably about six years since the last time you heard any new original Danzig material. Not a covers record or not this Danzig Sings Elvis record, so it’ll be six years.”
Initial recording sessions for the effort commenced back in March. Nuclear Blast Entertainment will handle the release when it eventually lands in stores.
