Like Satan himself set loose in the hallowed halls of heavy metal, these Athens-based headbangers careen wildly through the music\u2019s history, gleefully destroying and setting flame to every genre along the way, only stopping at the forefront of today\u2019s metal scene to look back and watch that fucker burn — and then piss on the flames. No other band has tapped into the fire, fury, and frost of all things metal like SKELETONWITCH<\/strong>. Released last October through Prosthetic Records, Forever Abomination<\/em> continues to raise eyebrows with its relentless, fuck-all attack. In an 8\/10 rating of the record, Decibel Magazine named SKELETONWITCH<\/strong>, \u201cone of the most likeable bands in metal,\u201d Terrorizer dubbed Forever Abomination<\/em> a \u201cmasterclass in modern metal,\u201d Revolver noted its \u201cbad-ass thrash attack,\u201d while Pitchfork championed the offering calling it \u201cexciting, skilled, fist-pumping, true-to-life stuff\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

SKELETONWITCH<\/strong> return to the road today beginning with a warm-up show in Cleveland before joining forces with The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile and labelmates Hour Of Penance for a four-week tour that concludes at the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival. This marks the group’s first North American tour action of 2012.\u00a0 The band will take a brief break before heading overseas for a stretch of Euro dates.
