SKELETONWITCH Announces US Dates In Support Of Beyond The Permafrost Album
April 8, 2008, 16 years ago
Athens, OH metallers SKELETONWITCH have announced US tour dates in support of their recently-released album, Beyond the Permafrost.
The scheduled three week trek will include a high profile appearance as part of the 2008 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival on April 26th in Worcester, MA.
Proudly waving the NWOBHM flag while uniting the purity and aggression of the 80s Bay-Area thrash scene with elements of black and Viking metal, the sound of Skeletonwitch is a dark, dynamic onslaught. The members of “The Witch” are bonded by the universal truth, that “heavy metal is the law”; the band’s not-to-be-missed live shows include a wicked spectacle of duel flying Vs, roaring Marshall stacks, the “spirit of ‘86” and riffs that race like the wind.
First introduced via 2004's independently released At One With The Shadows album and 2006's Worship The Witch EP, Skeletonwitch's retro-fitted, yet modernly executed creative vision arguably reached a new level of potency with the release of the album Beyond The Permafrost.
