Skeletonwitch announces new album, debuts new song

Official press release: Currently celebrating ten years of blackened metal, Skeletonwitch are proud to unveil details about their most venomous release yet -- Serpents Unleashed. Set for release in North America via Prosthetic Records on October 29 (October 28 EU/UK, October 25 Germany), the highly anticipated follow-up to 2011's critical-lauded, Billboard-charting Forever Abomination was recorded earlier this year at GodCity Studio with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Trap Them, High on Fire), who expertly channeled the band's colossal live sound into eleven blasts of abominable, frosty fire. Serpents Unleashed features cover artwork by John Baizley (Baroness, Kylesa, Kvelertak), who returns to the 'Witch fold for the first time since 2007's Beyond The Permafrost. Today, new track "Burned From Bone" -- which the band debuted earlier this year during a headlining set at Pitchfork's "Show No Mercy" showcase at South By Southwest -- premiered on SiriusXM's "Liquid Metal with Jose." The song is available now as a free* download by texting SERPENTS to 24587.
