The Bronx Casket Co.

Soon after, Verni and Lepcio were collaborating with three-time Tony Winner Hinton Battle to direct and choreograph, and the seeds of The Bronx Casket Co… A New Musical were planted.

Long-time friend Michael Romeo of Symphony X contributed all the orchestrations as well as co-mixing the record with Verni.

Songs like "Little Dead Girl" and "Sherimoon" are catchy, while others like "Bleed With Me" and "Can't Stop The Rain" show the band using more orchestral arrangements and finesse.

The record includes a Goth rendition of the Lynyrd Skynyrd hit "Free Bird" – "If you're going to do a cover tune, you may as well defile a classic" states Verni.

Directed by Lee Lanier at Beezubugbit Studios in Las Vegas, "Little Dead Girl" is in the vein of Tim Burton's immortal The Nightmare Before Christmas.
