SKELETONWITCH to tour alongside Job For A Cowboy, The Red Chord
Hot off returning home from the Dying Fetus / Cephalic Carnage tour alongside labelmates YEAR OF DESOLATION, Athens, Ohio’s SKELETONWITCH have just been confirmed as a support act on an upcoming tour in late January alongside Job For A Cowboy and The Red Chord.

Featuring artwork from John Baizley (Baroness, Pig Destroyer Darkest Hour), ‘Beyond The Permafrost‘ was recorded earlier this year with producer Cory Smoot (Municipal Waste, GWAR) and features a handful of brand new SKELETONWITCH songs alongside a few songs that previously appeared on the self-released Skeletonwitch records ‘Worship The Witch‘ and ‘At One With The Shadows.’ Clips are available online here (http://www.myspace.com/skeletonwitch).

“It’s the sound of modern metal reclaiming its mean-spirited and malevolent heritage.” – Metal Hammer
“If your inner-ear is hearing Exodus and Kill ‘Em All riffs getting a cloven-hoof kick in the nuts by Bathory (old) and Immortal (later period), then you’re right on target.” – Decibel
“…a record that merges the tenets of NWOBHM, early thrash, melodic death metal and an instinctual need to throw shapes, bang heads and worship at the altar of all that is unholy.” – Metal Manics
