We should have learned by now that stories about Glenn Danzig don't bring in the big hits, but we just can't stop from coming back. Everything about the guy, from lawsuits to proposed golden statues of him riding a dragon in Austin, is awesome. This week's tidbit: The former Misfits frontman will be releasing an extended play of Elvis Presley covers at some point during 2015.
"So strange how things happen," tweeted on of the least likely people to have a Twitter. "Working in studio all this week on 'Danzig sings Elvis' ep & tonight is anniversary of day Elvis died. RIP EAP GD 08/16/14."
Danzig has often been referred to as the "Evil Elvis" due to his undeniably similar vocal style (you've heard the song "Mother," if nothing else). Having seen the icon live in person, we can sadly acknowledge that having gained some weight over the years, the Samhain singer also resembles elder Elvis in the way he struts around stage.
We can't be sure but we're hoping that Danzig Sings Elvis isn't the actual title of the album whenever it comes out. Undead Memphis or something a little more macabre would be preferred. Either way, good to know that Danzig is working on anything. His last album, Deth Red Sabaoth, was released during 2010.
All we have to go on at the moment is a cover of "Trouble" that Danzig performed live in 1993:
