American metal monsters SKELETONWITCH have announced a string of Midwestern headline dates around the release of their new album, Forever Abomination, due out in North America on October 11th. These dates will immediately follow their run supporting ARCH ENEMY and DEVILDRIVER. See their full list of dates below.

In addition, the band has posted the first in a series of "behind-the-scenes" videos documenting the recording of Forever Abomination in Los Angeles with producer Matt Hyde. Check out this first vignette, which introduces new drummer Dustin Boltjes (DEMIRICOUS):

Forever Abomination will be issued in three formats: digital download; a six-panel, plastic-free digipak; and a triple-gatefold LP (which in turn will be available in several color variants). More details and pre-order are available at ForeverAbomination.com.

The album features artwork by Andrei Bouzikov, who also contributed the cover art for the band's 2009 release, Breathing The Fire.

The track, 'The Infernal Resurrection', can be heard below:
