Crossbone Skully have teamed up with Motley Crue bassist and founding member Nikki Sixx on their latest track, the seriously red hot "High On You," a song about romantic obsession with an anthemic shout-it-to-the-heavens chorus. The song and its artwork-designed by Mark Wilkinson (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest)-nods to the plight of 'Crossbone Skully,' the central character in a parallel mythology developed by the band's founder and frontman Tommy Henriksen.
His story is unfolded in Crossbone Skully's upcoming debut album Evil World Machine, set for release on November 22 via Better Noise Music. The narrative will also expand in a forthcoming graphic novel and animated film, Thing #1, due in 2025, which features voiceovers by Sixx. (continue)

Toronto based singer-songwriter Julian Taylor just released his new album "Pathways" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song "Weighing Down". Here is the story:
"Weighing Down" is a song that came from a place of deep introspection for me. I wanted to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by life's challenges, the way certain burdens can weigh us down emotionally. The lyrics reflect that struggle, touching on the themes of resilience, vulnerability, and the inner battles we all face. It's a song about trying to move forward even when the weight of everything feels too heavy. When I sing it, I tap into those emotions, hoping that it resonates with others who might be going through something similar. (continue)
