CROSSBONE SKULLY—the exciting new project led by mastermind Tommy Henriksen (guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper’s band & member of Hollywood Vampires)—shared their explosive single “The Boom Went The Boom (feat. Phil Collen of Def Leppard)” last month and are excited to return with a third new track, the justice-driven, affirmational and anthemic “I’m Unbreakable,” out now digitally via Better Noise Music.
“I’m Unbreakable” was recorded by Henriksen on lead vocals, guitar, bass, percussion and sound design) with Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires) on drums, Jamie Muhoberac (My Chemical Romance, John Mayer, Seal) on keys, Jason Roller (Ganjo), and The Hellhounds on backing vocals. It was executively produced by the legendary Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard) who emerged from retirement to work on the upcoming album.
HENRIKSEN reveals CROSSBONE SKULLY’s touring lineup in the live performance shot music video for “I’m Unbreakable”
The live band lineup includes Henriksen and Wyse along with up-and-coming musicians including guitarists Sam “Bam” Koltun (Dorothy, Faster Pussycat, Budderside) and Anna Cara—who Henriksen found after seeing her viral YouTube guitar cover videos—along with Tuesdai on drums.
“The entire Crossbone Skully universe is built around the age-old concept of good vs evil, right vs wrong and, as a result, that concept is central to the songs of the album,” shares HENRIKSEN. “With ‘I’m Unbreakable,’ we wrote it while thinking about having confidence to know that you can win. We’re all warriors just dealing with the bullshit of everyday life that we all gotta deal with. I’m telling everyone to be strong and to believe in yourself because you are a warrior, you’ve made it this far so you must be unbreakable, remember that.”
CROSSBONE SKULLY will release a series of limited-edition 7” vinyl singles with the first of the series having been announced with the release of “The Boom Went The Boom (feat. Phil Collen of Def Leppard)” in October. After initially being available only through Spotify, the band have announced it will now be made available through their merch store at CrossboneSkully.com and will feature “I’m Unbreakable” as its B-side track. The 7” will also come with a limited-edition signed copy of CROSSBONE SKULLY’s “Thing #1” ashcan comic. Proceeds from the sale of the limited edition 7” vinyl will be donated to the 501(c)(3) charity MusiCares who offer preventive, emergency, and recovery programs for musicians and music industry workers in times of need.

The album’s opening track and lead single is “Lift Me Up” featuring Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford. Vocalist Ivan Moody remarked that “just to work alongside an icon like Rob Halford, The Metal God, was absolutely surreal.”
The album’s 3rd single was the title track “Wrong Side of Heaven” and became the band’s biggest hit to date. The video for “Wrong Side Of Heaven” was released in honor of all those who served and continue to serve, to pay tribute to those who fought and sacrificed for all of us and to raise awareness and to support veterans facing PTSD by partnering with organizations around the country. The official video to the song has now been viewed a staggering 400 million times.
The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2 is the fifth studio album by Five Finger Death Punch, and the second of two albums released by the band in 2013, released on November 19, 2013.
