Skeletonwitch have been hard at work at Godcity Studios with the legendary Kurt Ballou over the past couple of months. Now they're starting to announce the details of what they've done. Excitement abounds!
The band have announced their next record will be titled Serpents Unleashed. Here's to hoping the artwork lives up to the name. Not that there's been a problem with that in the past or anything. The record is expected to hit stores in the fall, which I assume means there's not a whole lot of work left to be done.
Honestly, Skeletonwitch don't even have to try for this next record to be amazing. As long as they keep up their blackened thrash metal sound with tinges of some new stuff in there, they're golden. Maybe even a little hardcore punk stuff thrown in ala Black Dahlia Murder's "Den of the Picquerist"? That would be amazing.
So far, we know what one song will sound like, based on this bootleg Rob shot of the band at SXSW, and it sounds good:
