Black Bones is a punk rock band from Italy that reformed in 2005 from the ashes of AJ Blood's previous band The Bloodline. They then released their first album – “Prophecies of Apocalypse”. In 2008, the band changed their style drastically, keeping the punk and rock'n'roll roots but mixing them with folk and metal, and wrote a whole new album called "Pirates of the Coast", a concept album, that tells the stories of pirates and their fight for eternal freedom and pride. After two and a half years of touring with the pirate-inspired show, the band decided to work on a new record, but things just went wrong and the band broke up.

In 2014 the band met for one last farewell concert, which was literally sold out. The band reformed in 2016.
