After years of fronting some of rock’s most iconic acts, Erik Grönwall finally releases his long-awaited solo album “Bad Bones” – a fearless and deeply personal statement marking the beginning of a bold new chapter in his career.
Following the strong reception of the album’s first singles “Bad Bones”, “Born To Break” and “Praying For A Miracle”, the full album is out now.
Known around the globe for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Erik has made his mark as the frontman of Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and through his work with guitar legend Michael Schenker. With Bad Bones, however, the focus turns fully inward.
Built entirely on original material, Bad Bones is Erik’s most honest and uncompromising work to date – an album shaped by years of triumphs, setbacks, reinvention, and survival.
“I’ve fronted incredible bands and lived through experiences that changed me forever, but Bad Bones feels like the true beginning of my own story,” Erik says.
“This album is 100 percent me – the good, the bad, all of it. After everything I’ve been through, I don’t really know how to make music any other way than honestly anymore.”
Musically, Bad Bones captures the spirit and energy of classic hard rock while delivering a sound that feels immediate, modern, and alive. Combining powerful hooks, organic instrumentation, and emotionally charged performances. From the defiant swagger of the title track to the emotional depth of “Praying For A Miracle” and the reflective honesty of “Written In The Scars,” the album captures every side of Erik’s artistic identity.
Alongside his work in the studio and on stage, Erik has built a massive global audience through his highly successful YouTube channel, where millions of fans have followed his journey and connected with his powerful interpretations and authenticity. With Bad Bones, that same raw connection now fuels his own original voice.
The album’s first singles have already gained strong international support from major rock radio stations including Bandit Rock (Sweden), Planet Rock (UK), and Star FM (Germany), while Erik’s upcoming live shows continue to build momentum. Two hometown performances at Cirkus in Stockholm sold out months in advance, alongside a growing list of festival appearances across Scandinavia and Europe.
More than just a solo album, Bad Bones represents a new era for Erik Grönwall – one built entirely on creative freedom, honesty, and a refusal to compromise.
“Bad Bones is about identity, survival, and having the courage to stand by who you are. I do things my way and I play by no rules” Erik says.
“Bad Bones” is out May 22nd on all stream platforms as well as on CD, LP and colored LP.
