In support of their upcoming release, Serpents Unleashed, Ohio blackened metal quintet SKELETONWITCH will tour alongside THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER on a North American trek this fall. The tour kicks off in late October - shortly after Skeletonwitch plays a handful of dates alongside GHOST - and also features FALLUJAH and either NOISEM or WOLVHAMMER.

Vocalist Chance Garnette commented: "We can't think of a better way to release the venom that is Serpents Unleashed than by getting back on the road with our buds in The Black Dahlia Murder. It's going to be a killer tour that you won't want to miss! Don't sleep on this one - come out and get your face melted!"

Serpents Unleashed is set for an October 29th release in North America (October 28th EU/UK, October 25th Germany). The album – the follow-up to 2011’s Forever Abomination -- was recorded earlier this year at GodCity Studio with Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, TRAP THEM, HIGH ON FIRE), who expertly channeled the band's colossal live sound into 11 blasts of abominable, frosty fire.

Today, new track ‘Burned From Bone’ - which the band debuted earlier this year during a headlining set at Pitchfork's Show No Mercy showcase at South By Southwest - premiered on SiriusXM's Liquid Metal with Jose. The song is available now as a free download by texting SERPENTS to 24587, and behind-the-scenes studio footage of the band recording the track at GodCity can be seen below:

The track listing for Serpents Unleashed -- which features cover artwork by John Baizley (BARONESS, KYLESA, KVELERTAK), returning to the 'Witch fold for the first time since 2007's Beyond The Permafrost -- is as follows:

‘Serpents Unleashed’

‘Beneath Dead Leaves’

‘I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)’

‘From A Cloudless Sky’

‘Burned From Bone’

‘Unending, Everliving’

‘Blade On The Flesh, Blood On My Hands’

‘This Evil Embrace’

‘Unwept’

‘Born Of The Light That Does Not Shine’

‘More Cruel Than Weak’

Preorder Serpents Unleashed digitally via Bandcamp now or physically on CD, audio cassette, three different 180-gram LP variants (black, clear or red) and a limited-edition 7-inch collector's box via Skeletonwitch.com.
