Blackened Melodic Thrash Metal from USA. These guys are sick. Both full lengths At One with the Shadows and Beyond The permafrost are must haves...I will try and get them on the blog very soon...

Hell yeah! My favorite modern thrash band. Beyond The Permafrost is insane.

Audio samples of all tracks that are set to appear on SKELETONWITCH's highly anticipated new album, "Breathing The Fire", are available for streaming on Amazon.de.

SKELETONWITCH began recording "Breathing The Fire" on June 14 with producer Jack Endino (NIRVANA, HIGH ON FIRE, TOXIC HOLOCAUST). The CD was tracked in Seattle at both Studio Litho (owned by PEARL JAM guitarist Stone Gossard) and Endino's own Soundhouse Recording.

Pre-order packages for "Breathing The Fire" — which is due on October 13 — are now available on Prosthetic Records' webstore. There are four package options for both the vinyl and CD version of the album.

The cover artwork for "Breathing the Fire" can be viewed below. The cover was designed by Andrei Bouzikov, who has previously worked with MUNICIPAL WASTE and many others.

Commented guitarist Scott Hedrick: "The art really sums up the new album and what drew me to heavy metal in the first place: it's brutal, evil, and in a sadistic way, it's f#$king fun! 'Breathing the Fire' is meaner, faster, and far more sickening than 'Beyond the Permafrost', and the art reflects that. We went for the jugular, and so does Andrei's art. He did an amazing job. It's f#$king killer when the artist and band share a similar approach: organic. Blood and sweat, ink and paint, tubes in amps, and non-triggered drums. A set of balls. Not gym shorts, sterile computer generated art, effects pedals and redundant arpeggios."

SKELETONWITCH has just kicked off a North American tour with CHILDREN OF BODOM and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.

A good band overall, the vocals just seem weak to me in certain spots.

This is awesome. Their last album was incredible.

I'm still looking out for a leak. Isn't it supposed to be released in about 8 days?

Leaks are out! Just downloading it and it's sounding pretty good so far. It isn't striking me as immediately as Beyond The Permafrost did, but I'm only on the second song and it is pretty kick-ass in its own respects.
