SKELETONWITCH Mark 10th Anniversary With 'I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)' Video Premier
September 17, 2013, 11 years ago
Ten years ago today, brothers Nate and Chance Garnette joined forces with Scott Hedrick in a new band they opted to call SKELETONWITCH. A decade later, the blackened metal powerhouse commemorates their anniversary with the world premiere of the slasher/classic horror-themed music video for 'I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)', a new song from the group's fifth album, Serpents Unleashed.
Says Nate, "It's never a bad time when you combine 100 beers, several bloody sheep skulls, murder in the woods and five headbanging maniacs. It's an even better time when the end result is a killer classic/slasher video. This time we went with the 'even better time'. Enjoy!"
Skeletonwitch recently unveiled a second behind-the-scenes video from the recording of Serpents Unleashed, due out in October 29th in North America, October 25th in Australia and Germany/Austria/Switzerland, and October 28th in the UK and the rest of Europe, via Prosthetic Records. Check out both videos below:
Serpents Unleashed is now available for pre-order 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 You can receive a new song, 'Burned From Bone', as a free download by texting SERPENTS to 24587 (standard message and data rates may apply).
