DAMN YOU, SKELETONWITCH, AND YOUR “INFERNAL RESURRECTION”

Skeletonwitch must be one of the most metal metal bands out there right now; there’s no pretense to their music, no core, nothing about it that’s retro, nothing about it that’s trendy, no way to describe it as anything other than “fucking metal.” Combine this with the fact that Chance Garnette is absolutely one of the most entertaining frontmen on the scene today, and, well, it is absolutely no shock that people love this band. They are worth loving.

So you’ll be happy to know that their just-released new song, “The Infernal Resurrection,” does not disappoint. It is EXACTLY what a new Skeletonwitch song should be. Check it out:

The band has also unveiled the cover art for their new album, Forever Abomination, via that album’s pre-order page. Although it’s at a slight angle for some reason. Still looks pretty fucking cool, though:

Forever Abomination comes out October 12 on Prosthetic. By that time, the band will actually have completed the sure-to-be-mind-blowing tour they’re doing with Arch Enemy, DevilDriver, and Chthonic, which we just happen to be co-presenting with Full Metal Jackie. Here are dates:
