SkeletonWitch: Beyond The Permafrost
November 25, 2007 by Scott
Skeletonwhitch, out of Athens, Ohio bring thrash, death and black metal into one giant heap of audio onslaught to your ears with their third release Beyond the Permafrost on Prosthetic Records.
Originally released on October 2, 2007, Beyond The Permafrost brings technicality, speed and brutality to the table on a platter the size of a Texans belt buckle. Every song is a fury of guitars, every beat is a thunderous reminder that you don’t have to have the double bass through the entire song to make it in todays metal. Every word sung as if Satan himself was Chance Garnett’s vocal coach. With lyrics of the purist of evil almost “Slaytanic“, you can imagine with a name like Skeletonwitch they are not singing broken homes or life on the streets.
What I really like about this record is the engineering. Every part is mixed perfectly. Nothing overpowers anything else. It shows really good production.
Beyond The Permafrost get 4 stars.
