Tommy Henriksen's Crossbone Skully Drop New Track “Everyone’s On Dope” - New Album Soon

"Life's a trip, and everyone's on something…some just choose a different kind of dope. I choose hope!” – Crossbone Skully frontman Tommy Henriksen

Crossbone Skully has unleashed their latest track, “Everyone’s On Dope,” from their eagerly awaited debut album Evil World Machine, set to drop later this year via Better Noise Music. The anthemic and compelling song features Henriksen, known for his roles as guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper's band and as a member of Hollywood Vampires, leading the charge alongside the band’s live lineup. This includes guitarists Sam “Bam” Koltun (Dorothy, Faster Pussycat, Budderside) and Anna Cara, drummer Alex “Thumper” Boch, and bassist Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley), who also contributed to the studio recording.

“Everyone’s On Dope” marks the sixth new release from Crossbone Skully, following a string of consecutive singles including “Money, Sex, or God,” “I Am The Wolf,” “The Boom Went The Boom” (featuring Phil Collen), “I’m Unbreakable,” and the title track “Evil World Machine.” To date, Crossbone Skully has amassed over 1 million streams across platforms. All tracks have been executive produced by the legendary Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams), who came out of retirement specifically for this project. The team also includes Olle Romo on mixing duties and Howie Weinberg for mastering. The studio lineup was bolstered by top-tier musicians such as Wyse, Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), Jamie Muhoberac (My Chemical Romance, John Mayer, Seal), Tommy Denander (co-producer, songwriter, guitarist), Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), the late UFO bassist Pete Way, and additional engineering by Mike Plotnikoff (AC/DC, Daughtry, Buckcherry, Aerosmith).

Crossbone Skully is more than just a band—it's a multidimensional project. The band is named after their mascot and central character, an avenging superhero from outer space on a mission to return to Earth to save the world. This character’s story was introduced with the launch of a graphic novel and animated film, “Thing #1,” which premiered at Fan Expo in 2023. For the film, Henriksen enlisted several of his bandmates and friends for voiceovers, including A-list actor Johnny Depp and rock legends such as Alice Cooper, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Kane Roberts, and Mark Wilkinson. This collaborative project blurs the lines between music, storytelling, and visual art, bringing Crossbone Skully’s universe to life.
