Hard rock band Pop Evil announce their new album "Skeletons". The 11 tracks include the previously released singles "Eye of the Storm", which reached #5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart's most played songs of 2022, and the latest single "Paranoid (Crash & Burn)". The album also features guest musicians such as Ryan Kirby of Fit for a King on "Dead Reckoning" - a song contributed by bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser - and Blake Allison of Devour the Day, who is featured as a guest vocalist on "Wrong Direction". Frontman Leigh Kakaty on the album: "This is about us as a band stripping everything down to the bone. It's more uptempo, it's got bigger riffs, and we're trying to capture the energy of our live show." "But it also has a positive message," he adds. "I know it's a morbid image, 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 looking forward to everyone hearing that." For "Skeletons", the band once again collaborated with producer Drew Fulk (Disturbed, Papa Roach, Motionless in White), a friend and collaborator on several previous albums that became hits. "On 'Versatile' we had a number of producers, but for this album we wanted to work with just one person and get back to our roots," says Kakaty. "There's an energy that he and I have, and he was great at helping us build these songs and work on some common themes."
