Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan revealed earlier this year that the band have been writing songs for a new album with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Lzzy Hale and Joel Hottinger of Halestorm.
Bolan adds: “It’s opened up a lot of doors in our mind, because we always were, like, ‘No. We’re writing everything. That’s it. We’re doing it all.’ And I’m, like, ‘Let’s make this super special and just go with people that are friends.”
The new album will mark the debut appearance of former Dragonforce singer ZP Theart, who officially joined the band in January 2017, replacing Johnny Solinger.
Guitarist Scotti Hill recently shot down rumours that Skid Row were set to reunite original singer Sebastian Bach.
