SKELETONWITCH Return From Tour, Prepare For European Run; Prosthetic TV Webisode Launched
November 23, 2009, 14 years ago
Ohio's SKELETONWITCH have just wrapped up their North American fall touring, which had them on the road since September, supporting CHILDREN OF BODOM and then THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.
The band has a few down days before they head over to Europe to co-headline with TOXIC HOLOCAUST and GOATWHORE. They're supporting their second full length for Prosthetic Records, Breathing The Fire, which came out on October 13th and landed at #151 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, #2 on the Heat Seekers Chart and #21 on the Hard Music Chart.
Guitarist Scott Hedrick checked in from home: "After more than 15,000 miles, 8 stitches, and countless beers... we're back from tour. We've had a few days to chill out and finally face the hangover that 60 days of partying kept putting off. Now, a huge thank you is in order:
It was an unforgettable experience. Seeing the Canadian Rockies; that was a first. Seeing 3/5 of The Black Dahlia Murder naked; well, we never wanted that to happen. But I suppose you take the good with the bad!
Thanks to Children of Bodom, The Black Dahlia Murder, Toxic Holocaust, Trap Them, and all of the crew. We had an absolutely killer time and every single person involved couldn't have been cooler. Thanks brothers!
Most importantly we would like to thank everyone who came out to the shows and partied with us! Without YOU we could not do this. (And trust me....we're really fucked if we can't do this! It's all we know!) The support is massively and genuinely appreciated. Thanks for the good times and we hope to see you on the road again soon.
Up next is European decimation with Toxic Holocaust and Goatwhore! Fucking stoked!!"
