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).

The tracklisting 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:
