<\/div>\n

More than five years after Glenn Danzig<\/a> first revealed plans to record an album of Elvis Presley<\/a> songs, the metal icon will release the long-awaited covers LP.<\/span><\/p>\n

Danzig Sings Elvis<\/em> is out April 17th via Cleopatra Records, the singer\u2019s Facebook announced<\/a> Thursday; the album arrives a few seasons after the initially promised fall 2019 release.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Amazon.com listing<\/a> for Danzig Sings Elvis,<\/em> available to preorder on CD and vinyl, shows that the Misfits singer puts his signature goth-metal spin on 14 Presley standards, including a \u201csinister take on \u2018Fever\u2019 and a truly haunting version of \u2018Always on My Mind.\u2019 \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Danzig has outlined plans to showcase his Presley covers at \u201csmall, intimate, seated performances, as Danzig wants to try to capture an old Vegas nightclub atmosphere.\u201d Details for those late-April concerts in Los Angeles and San Francisco will be announced next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Danzig said that Presley was among his chief musical influences. \u201cElvis is actually kind of how I got into music,\u201d Danzig said at the time. \u201cWhen I was a kid, I was cutting school pretending I was sick and I would lie at home watching old movies, and Jailhouse Rock<\/i> came on with Elvis. I was like, \u2018I want to do this. This is great.\u2019 And that\u2019s how I veered to music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years later, in another interview, the singer told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> that the album would \u201cprobably\u201d arrive in 2017, noting that he recently recorded a take on Presley\u2019s 1960 single \u201cThe Girl of My Best Friend\u201d; that track made the album\u2019s final cut.<\/span><\/p>\n
