THE SKULL Announces US Tour With SAINT VITUS

The Skull, featuring vocalist Eric Wagner and bassist Ron Holzner, formerly of metal legends Trouble, has announced a fall U.S. tour as direct support to Saint Vitus. The month-long jaunt will launch on September 27th in Austin, TX, running through October 23rd in Tucson, AZ. Joining the revered bands on the tour will be Portland's Witch Mountain, which features in its ranks, The Skull guitarist Rob Wrong. The Skull continues to tour in support of its debut album, For Those Which Are Asleep.

Additionally, The Skull has announced the addition of Steve Hanford as the band's fill-in touring drummer. Hanford, formerly of hardcore punk legends Poison Idea, has been recruited to fill in for Sean Saley (Pentagram) on the upcoming tour.

"I'm really bummed to miss this tour, but sometimes life happens and other commitments have forced me to sit out the tour with Saint Vitus and Witch Mountain," comments Saley. However, The Skull is in the more than capable hands of a great drummer, ‘Thee Hippy Slayer’ himself, Steve Hanford. Steve will nail this and the band will be great with him on drums! Don't miss this tour!"
