Skeletonwitch will release their upcoming record Serpents Unleashed on October 29 through Prosthetic Records. The artwork was done by Baroness' John Baizley, and the album was recorded at GodCity Studios by none other than Kurt Ballou. What you're seeing here is footage from the record, more specifically from a track called "Burned From Bone."
The song sounds like it's quickly becoming one of my favorites from the band, and for a few reasons; it's hard-hitting as fuck and heavy, mainly. Then there's the whole "the mix is actually good" and "their singer sounds like a really angry demon right now," which adds to why I'm loving it. Let's just face it and realize that this is going to be one of the best records this year. The track list for the album is as follows:
1. Serpents Unleashed
2. Beneath Dead Leaves
3. I Am Of Death (Hell Has Arrived)
4. From a Cloudless Sky
5. Burned From Bone
6. Unending, Everliving
7. Blade On The Flesh, Blood On My Hands
8. This Evil Embrace
9. Unwept
10. Born of the Light That Does Not Shine
11. More Cruel Than Weak
Oh, and about those handful of tour dates opening for Ghost:

10/07 Newport Music Hall – Columbus, OH
10/14 Bijou Theatre – Knoxville, TN
