The next announced single will be "High on you", followed by another song. And finally, on November 22, the long-awaited album.
There's a new song from Crossbone Skully! In "Everyone's on Dope"
Tommy claims everyone has their own kind of drug. Skully's drug is hope. What's yours?
On May 10, 2024, Better Noise Music delighted us with a new song by Crossbone Skully. Tommy Henriksen presents us with a difficult choice. Money, sex or God - which would you choose?
Tommy says the idea for the song came to him during a TV show... He wrote the lyrics to the song unusually quickly. Well, the question definitely can't be answered that quickly...
“The song ‘Money, Sex, or God’ was inspired by a conversation I had while watching a tv show.
On the show, they were saying everything always comes down to three things you should never talk about in life: financials, sexual preference, and religion.
I immediately thought…well that’s easy…Money, $ex, or God. It was one of those songs where it rarely happens with me, that the lyrics just fell right out:
‘Pick your prize, what you gonna choose? / I bet you God, he’s gonna lose / But then…if it was up to me? You’re all gonna lose’… thank you, universe!”
~Tommy Henriksen
After fans of Crossbone Skully were able to listen to the song briefly at the "Discord Christmas Party", "I'm the Wolf" has now had its YouTube premiere. We now have the fourth song from the debut album, which is expected later this year.
Here is our first impression:
The unusual thing about this song is that it's minimalistic and powerful at the same time. At first listen, you might think there must be something more to it... but no... there doesn't have to be!
Tommy Henriksen, who calls the wolf his spirit animal, preaches the few lines in the song like a self-motivating mantra. Only Anna's wonderful guitar solo is allowed to interrupt him.
There is nothing more to say. Anything more would be superfluous.
The wolf is considered to be boundlessly loyal and strong. He leads his pack through all dangers and defends the family to the last, just like Skully does.
By the way: Johnny's sword with the gonzo fist can also be seen in this video.
"I'm Unbreakable" celebrates its video premiere on Nov 16, 2023 and will be available on all digital streaming services from Nov 17, 2023. With this power song, Tommy explains that "Everything is possible" and that hate won't get you anywhere.
The sword that Tommy uses in the video was borrowed from Johnny Depp, who once got it from Hunter S. Thomsen. The guitar that Anna plays during the video also belongs to Johnny.
By the end of January, the song had been played 100,000 times on Spotify alone.
The Boom was the first song ever written for the album. On 10/6/2023 during a radio show at 95.5 Klos after a little interview from Marci Wiser with Tommy the song "The Boom went the Boom" was premiered and made it to #2 on the Heavy Metal iTunes charts on day 1.
Support for "The Boom" comes from Phil Collen of Lef Leppard, who contributed a great solo.
If you couldn't wait, you already had the chance to hear "The Boom went the Boom" before a Hollywood Vampires concert in summer 2023. On 10/13/2023 the official video followed and on 29.10.2023 the first physical single.
On 18.11.2022 the first single of Crossbone Skully was released. It is the title "Evil World Machine". In the meantime, the video has been viewed almost 350,000 times. We link you to the longer version below.
