Crossbone Skully Recruit Def Leppard's Phil Collen For 'Thunder Love'

08-09-2026

(ASPR) Crossbone Skully ignite the skies with their brand new single "Thunder Love," featuring Def Leppard's Phil Collen. Capturing a thunder-shaking midnight encounter between two sinners, the song is a shot of lightning and lust-fueled chemistry, delivering the first strike from their upcoming sophomore album, Condemned to Rock n' Roll, via earMUSIC.

Fronted by Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), Crossbone Skully are a gritty hard rock band, featuring fellow Alice Cooper guitarist Anna "Blackthorn" Cara and a revolving cast of Rock 'n' Roll Misfits. By teaming up with Phil Collen and legendary producer Mutt Lange, Henriksen has crafted the perfect storm on "Thunder Love."

The track also features powerhouse studio drumming from Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), whose thunderous performance helps drive the song's explosive energy.

"It's great to be singing with Mutt again," said Collen. "It's a vocal blend we've shared for many years, and having Tommy's voice in the mix adds another dimension. 'Thunder Love'''is pure fun rock 'n' roll - loud, thunderous guitars, huge drum sounds, and punchy vocals. Tommy's got a powerful rock voice, but what really stands out is how versatile he is. He can shape his voice to fit whatever a song needs, and that's a rare gift. He brings incredible energy to everything he does, which makes him so easy to collaborate with. He and Mutt share the same philosophy: It's all about the vibe. When you get that right, everything else falls into place, and I think that's a big part of what makes Crossbone Skully unique."
