"I used to enable friends on tour to get fucked up however they felt fitting and it never affected me because it was on tour. When that shit started to follow me home and seep into the lives of close friends, I started to despise it. That’s what I wrote Skeletons about." - Zach Dear (vocals)

Ezla - Skeletons
Ezla, no not Elsa, went ahead releasing the title track to her upcoming EP release "Outcasts". After that track was around another track was to follow suite with the release of another track taken from the EP this one being titled "Skeletons".
Now the track that is "Skeletons", is a lot like the title track single released sometime ago. Both having similar beats and catchiness going for them. The vocalization done by Ezla is interesting, as it has more of a techno tone going for it, as the mixing and processing was likely done for it, to turn out in this mannerism. That said, the whole overall tone this track is giving off, is more or less pretty edgy yet groovy too. Whilst the tone is similar to which is the title track, "Skeletons", with its own title rather represents more of a club setting than anything else really. The mood and elements of the track makes it more of a fitting stable to said set up. Ezla's vocal chords being preserved yet well provided due to the mechanics, of the technical senses of the production. In other words, her vocals just sound nice.
Listening to the track several times over, it begins to express more of a catchier feel than it should be doing. The beat source is more progressive, having this tone that picks up the pace at times, yet remains steady as well. Not really any other way of describing it, than it is just a type of track that has a lot of flare, and energy to it. The beat of the melodies just do their thing, keeping everything in tune with everything else, creating something that is creative, yet decent quality of all that was put into it.
All in all really, Ezla has got another track that is worthy of the name single. "Skeletons", is a modernized take of all else going on within the music scene and its welcoming community. Ezla just being another added addition to the array of acts, her expressing her exposure of raw talent, that has got lots of beats, with the needed effects of flare and progression. Otherwise she has got the spunk and it works well!

Danzig’s Skeletons to be Released November 27 via Evilive Records/Nuclear Blast Entertainment
You know it’s Danzig the moment you hear him. It’s not just that inimitable voice either. It’s the thick airy guitars, bluesy swagger, and “come hither” evil that placed him at the forefront of a number of musical revolutions. His work has indelibly impacted the landscape of extreme music, fortifying the crossroads between heavy riffs and occult imagery so prevalent these days. Moreover, you can consistently feel his presence throughout pop culture which expands further with his successful Verotik Comics and forthcoming feature film directorial debut.
However, Danzig wants to show you where it started with his tenth full-length album and first since 2010’s Deth Red Saboath — Skeletons. Due out on November 27 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment/Evilive Records Skeletons will be available for pre-order within the next couple of weeks and in the meantime be sure to check out Nuclear Blast’s announce video for the release HERE.
A labor of love that began in 1979, he pulls back the curtain behind his 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. Recording 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. If you took Elvis and Sabbath out of my life, I probably wouldn’t be the Glenn Danzig you know! I’m glad both sides are represented on this record.”
Among the tracks, he takes Presley’s “Let Yourself Go” from the film Speedway and transforms it with a swinging distorted stomp and bluesy vocal crescendo. “I thought it was a song I could do something really cool with,” he goes on. “It’s also something that I didn’t think anyone would necessarily expect. When you tell them you’re going to do an Elvis cover, they expect something they know. Not a lot of people know this one. It’s actually on The ’68 Comeback Special, and it’s worth going back to.”
The Troggs “A Girl Like You” becomes a punkified juggernaut in his hands with its fuzzed-out guitars, pounding drums and the trademark Danzig sing-a-long choruses. He captures the rebellious spirit of the sixties outlaw biker films with a punked-out take on “Devil’s Angels” from the Devil’s Angels Soundtrack complete with his old school Misfits Dallas Arbiter Jumbo-Fuzz Pedal. Regarding “Satan” from Satan’s Sadists, Danzig assures, “You might be surprised, but I didn’t change any of the lyrics. I didn’t have to!”
Ultimately, Skeletons sparks the next phase for Danzig. Helping catalyze his next full-length offering and tour plans, it’s yet another revolution. “I hope people dig it,” he leaves off. “I also hope it gives everybody a little bit of insight into the music I listen to and maybe an insight into how I did the songs. If you enjoy it, that’s great.”No matter what, you’ll know it’s undeniably him the moment you press play.
