NEWS: SKELETONWITCH PREMIERE MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SONG
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 highly anticipated fifth album, "Serpents Unleashed." Check it out now at Bloody-Disgusting.com or below.
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!"

Recorded with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Isis, High On Fire) earlier this year, and featuring artwork by John Baizley (Kvelertak, Kylesa, Baroness), "Serpents Unleashed" -- the follow-up to 2011's Billboard-charting "Forever Abomination," and a record Decibel has hailed as the band's "best effort to date" -- sees SKELETONWITCH firing on all cylinders. The album, which is available for pre-order at SKELETONWITCH.com in a variety of formats, will be released in North America on Oct. 29, in Australia and G/A/S (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) on Oct. 25 and in the UK and the rest of Europe on Oct. 28. In addition, you can now pre-order the album digitally atiTunes and Bandcamp and receive an instant download of "I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)."
Next month, SKELETONWITCH will commence the "Serpents Unleashed" touring cycle by playing a handful of shows with Swedish occult rockers Ghost, after which they'll embark on a full North American tour with The Black Dahlia Murder. From there, the group will kick off 2014 by touring America with Amon Amarth and Enslaved. A full list of the group's upcoming concerts appears below.
