US hard rock group Pop Evil have announced their new album, Skeletons, due March 17, 2023, via MNRK Heavy, along with their U.S. headlining tour starting on the same day.
The 11-tracks feature the already released singles, Eye of the Storm landing at the #5 Most Played Song in 2022 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Chart, and the most recent single, Paranoid (Crash & Burn). The album also includes guest performers such as Ryan Kirby from Fit for a King on Dead Reckoning, a song brought to the table by bassist, Joey “Chicago” Walser plus Blake Allison from Devour the Day providing guest vocals on Wrong Direction.
In discussing the album, frontman Leigh Kakaty said, “This is about us as a band stripping everything down to the bones. It’s more uptempo, it’s got bigger riffs, and we’re trying to capture the energy of our live show.”
“But it’s also a positive message,” he adds. “I know it’s a morbid visual, but behind every skeleton, there’s a story and something worth talking about. Overall, it’s about looking at something in a positive way. And I’m excited for everyone to hear that.”
