Ohio-based blackened metal quintet Skeletonwitch - who will join Abbath, High On Fire and Tribulation on this year's Decibel Magazine Tour, which kicks off March 17th - officially welcomes Adam Clemans (Wolvhammer) as their new vocalist.

Last month, the group recorded a new EP, due to be released this summer, with Clemans at Baltimore's Developing Nations with producer Kevin Bernsten (Magrudergrind, Noisem, Mutilation Rites). A brief teaser of new music can be heard in the below video, in which Clemans discusses how he came to join the band.

"I'm very proud to be a part of the Skeletonwitch camp, and I'm very excited about how the new EP turned out," says Clemans. "Working with like-minded musicians is always a pleasure, and I'm confident that the new chapter of this band will carry the Skeletonwitch banner properly and proudly."

Adds guitarist Scott Hedrick, "We are extremely excited to announce Adam as the new singer for Skeletonwitch. He's a killer vocalist, lyricist, and all-around creative force. Please welcome him to the Skeletonwitch family as we begin this new chapter. As always, thanks to everyone who has, and continues to, support us."
