Crossbone Skully Unleashes Debut Album ‘Evil World Machine’ Executive Produced By Mutt Lange Via Better Noise Music

Crossbone Skully have today unleashed their debut album "Evil World Machine" which brought the legendary Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard) out of retirement to executive produce the project. Released by Better Noise Music, the rock concept album echoes similar dystopian visions such as David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Diamond Dogs and its story will be expanded in a forthcoming graphic novel and animated film, Thing #1, due in 2025.

"Evil World Machine" was praised via Classic Rock, who gave it a 9/10 rating, saying “Mutt lives!...Mutt’s sonic fingerprints are all over the album... an AC/Lep-inspired mongrel ... There’s also plenty of Def Leppard and even Whitesnake in Crossbone Skully’s DNA”.

Watch the newly released music video for the album’s power-seizing track “Let’s Bust The Trust” streaming below or via YouTube. “Let’s Bust The Trust” spits in the face of a broken currency, torching the lies of the elite, and screaming for a world where people over profit hold the power to turn it all around! Lives Over Loot!” says frontman Tommy Henriksen.

“I’ve based this album on my heroes AC/DC, Queen, The Who, but also The Cars and Kraftwerk,” Henriksen continues “Mutt called and told me he thought there was something there. I started crying like a baby, it was like Jesus coming back and anointing you!” he says. “Mutt has taken these songs to a whole other level. Now I don’t mind what else happens with this record.” STREAM "EVIL WORLD MACHINE"

Led and conceptualized by Henriksen (guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper’s band and member of Hollywood Vampires), Crossbone Skully enlisted a sterling group of supporting musicians for "Evil World Machine" including guitarist Tommy Denander, keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac (My Chemical Romance, John Mayer, Seal), bassist Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley, The Cult, Ozzy Osbourne), drummer Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), the late UFO bassist Pete Way, mixer Olle Romo (Muse, Bryan Adams) and producer/mixer Mike Plotnikoff (AC/DC, Aerosmith). Also lighting up the album are guest features and spoken word appearances by A-list actor/musician and fellow Hollywood Vampires bandmate Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Kane Roberts, and more.
