Released just after Halloween, The Glasspack from Louisville, KY has shared a new free covers EP that consists of songs originally by Glenn Danzig-fronted bands The Misfits and Samhain.
The EP is embedded below and is titled Candy Apples and Razor Blades. It's the band's first new recorded material in over a decade, but also serves as a sweet appetizer for a new full-length that is promised for 2021 on Small Stone, to be titled Moon Patrol.
"Dirty" Dave Johnson says:
I asked the guys if we could record something special this year to give away for free. So, we quickly recorded some punk rock and metal favorites with a dash of Glasspack flavor at DeadBird Recording Studios in Louisville. As a punk rock kid in Louisville, I fell in love with these songs immediately and still carry them with me as an adult. I never outgrew them, or maybe I just didn't grow up. It doesn't matter. I will likely sing some of them 'til I am ashes. This is the first actual studio recording The Glasspack has released for many years. It is also the first Glasspack record of which I do not play guitar. I only did the vocals.
I am also in the process of finishing up the lyrics and vocals for our upcoming Moon Patrol album...which is a full-length record of all original Glasspack material. The music is finished. Once I finish the lyrics and vocals, we will go into the studio and knock it out. COVID-19 has derailed some of our plans but this album will still be released at some point next year.
