Agreed. I knew about 2/3 of the bands beforehand but loved the episode and idea. If you like this, you could try out what Julia's drawing reminded me of, Wormwitch.
Some of you were not paying attention to SW's last EP. They were already well under way down the black metal path (especially on "Red Death, White Light"), and this song shows that continued progression. This track is brilliant, and I can't wait to hear the whole album.
Well, they were Blackened Thrash from their very first record. It's nothing new. (I'm not talking about Beyond the Permafrost, the very first album: At One with the Shadows.)
This gives me hope for the new album. Progressive from their old sound, but full of depth and ambience. Anxious to hear the rest of what they have to offer with this album.
I had no idea dude from Wolvhammer was on vocals now. I think this shit is great, but I'm a huge Wolvhammer fan so I can see how die hard Skeletonwitch fans might take awhile to come around. It has a way more serious and darker feel than their previous records.
Ridgeway Jones check out The Apothic Gloom Ep that Adam first did with the band in 2016. A great blend of their classic sound with some of this new direction. I'm stoked for the new album.
Oh shit I didnt even know it was the guy from Wolvhammer haha the funny thing is Eternal Rotting Misery is literally the track after this one in my playlist, still didn't notice lmao
LYRICS Seething sounds seeping through Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation The lacquer of the tongue paints the town red Just like the spider weaves its own web In shades that grow ever deeper and deeper The strongest roots are of passion Breaching the cages of your own mind Baptizing yourself in the fervor of the light Lost within the fen of shadows no longer No longer seeing the demise With scarlet intensity in the eyes Seething sounds seeping through Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation The lacquer of the tongue paints the town red Just like the spider weaves its own web In shades that grow ever deeper and deeper The strongest roots are of passion Swarming inside the purest of hearts Surrounded by these hallowed grounds Lost within the fen of shadows no longer No longer seeing the demise With scarlet intensity in the eyes Seething sounds seeping through Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation See, Feel, Breathe Become one See, Feel, Breathe Become one See, Feel, Breathe Become one
Just saw Skeletonwitch last night in Boston. Get ready if your going to a show on this tour. Totally blew me away. Vicious riffs. Excellent show those mother fuckers shred. Get ready people. Aghhhhhhh
Their best song in many years, maybe ever imo, and I’ve been a fan for a loooong time. This is a lesson to other bands in how to reinvent your sound to keep things fresh without losing the soul or the quality.
First a Rivers of Nihil album with saxophone, now a progressive black metal Witch. Man, 2018 is weird. If Pig Destroyer puts out a funeral doom album, I wouldn't be shocked at this point. That said, this song isn't bad, it's just not the riff-driven blackened thrash I associate with Skeletonwitch.
mikey seweyestwa aside for the song not sounding like black metal or having black metal vocals... it does sound like a metal core band imitating black metal feel hahahahaha funny comment
PSALM 119:105 i guess they are not trying to imitate black metal sound or any other sound... they're just growing as musicians and making their own sound... using melodic and modern metal elements... even since their first album you can hear the modern elements and they've always been open minded musicians and an amazing band... i know this album is gonna be awesome even if there are "trves" that doesn't like how the music evolves
IT RIPS. Can't wait for July. Some of the most talented dudes in music today. The guitar tones are fucking awesome. So stoked to have a Kurt Ballou produced Skeletonwitch album.
Talented group of individuals. Got to meet them after the Phoenix show, such nice dudes too. That solo is perfect. It has a Pink Floyd feel to it. So many good riffs. Bass line is also solid as always. Can't wait for the whole album to come out. Need to see them live again and again. They definitely have become my favorite band.
he's not exactly wrong despite that label being rather cumbersome to read lol. tbh at this point I feel like they've crossed over from blackened thrash into full-on melodic black metal, I get a big dissection vibe from this in particular.
I dig it. So many people don't like Chance being out, and that's understandable. However, I feel that this is the freshest the band has sounded in years, and I love The Apothic Gloom EP to death. Let the boys experiment a little. It's a good thing.
Damn it, Skeletonwitch. Make A NEW ALBUM ALREADY!
That intro had me floating the first time I ever heard it , god Damn this track is amazing skeltonwitch never disappoints
Thank you to Drawfee of all things for introducing me to a few new favorite bands.
I'd been aware of all three bands for years, it's so fucking rad that the last Drawfee ep is gonna expose a bunch of people to some sick metal
🤘🏻
INIT. Personally wizard bastard were my fave of the three. Never heard of any of those bands befor drawfee
Agreed. I knew about 2/3 of the bands beforehand but loved the episode and idea. If you like this, you could try out what Julia's drawing reminded me of, Wormwitch.
Right!? I've been listening to Powerwolf nonstop
Episode title? Please and thank you
I used to know Skeletonwitch for their sound that merges black and thrash. This song incorporates also prog elements, definitely awesome!
I miss those thrash elements though. Can't really get into this new sound
That solo may not be super technical and all over the place, but that has to be one of the coolest solos ive ever heard
I wake up to skeleton witch today. Its gonna be great
Absolutely impressive. Among the best American Metal bands right now.
Are they not Canadian?
No. They are not Canadian.
I absolutely agree about them being one of the best American bands yet they are so underrated...
From Athens, Ohio.
Great song love the new melo Black Death metal direction maybe a new genre!
Skeletonwitch showing their depth of talent 💚
Some of you were not paying attention to SW's last EP. They were already well under way down the black metal path (especially on "Red Death, White Light"), and this song shows that continued progression. This track is brilliant, and I can't wait to hear the whole album.
Darth Grimby I LOVED the apothic gloom. Red Death, White Light is one of my favorite Witch tracks still. This is definitely building off of that EP.
@@myquest666420 my favorite was black waters
Check this out
Well, they were Blackened Thrash from their very first record. It's nothing new. (I'm not talking about Beyond the Permafrost, the very first album: At One with the Shadows.)
This gives me hope for the new album. Progressive from their old sound, but full of depth and ambience. Anxious to hear the rest of what they have to offer with this album.
So from blackened thrash to prog black ala hmm..Enslaved, im in. Heres my money. Riffs for days!!!
Loving this track, July 20th can't come soon enough.
Seeing them in 2 days Boston
I'm blown away that these guys are American. They have a very European metal style to them. Don't hear many American bands that sound so epic.
Listen to Uada, they're american and sound like Mgla's.
Mastodon
Brian Charyn Beat me to it. Kylesa is pretty heavy too
Necropanther. Stupid name, fantastic music
Abigail Williams
I had no idea dude from Wolvhammer was on vocals now. I think this shit is great, but I'm a huge Wolvhammer fan so I can see how die hard Skeletonwitch fans might take awhile to come around. It has a way more serious and darker feel than their previous records.

Much better vocalist and he aint a dick
Oh shit I didnt even know it was the guy from Wolvhammer haha the funny thing is Eternal Rotting Misery is literally the track after this one in my playlist, still didn't notice lmao
Jackson RRXT I mean the guy did get charged with assault on a family member
LYRICS
Seething sounds seeping through
Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation
The lacquer of the tongue paints the town red
Just like the spider weaves its own web
In shades that grow ever deeper and deeper
The strongest roots are of passion
Breaching the cages of your own mind
Baptizing yourself in the fervor of the light
Lost within the fen of shadows no longer
No longer seeing the demise
With scarlet intensity in the eyes
Seething sounds seeping through
Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation
The lacquer of the tongue paints the town red
Just like the spider weaves its own web
In shades that grow ever deeper and deeper
The strongest roots are of passion
Swarming inside the purest of hearts
Surrounded by these hallowed grounds
Lost within the fen of shadows no longer
No longer seeing the demise
With scarlet intensity in the eyes
Seething sounds seeping through
Breaking down the walls, suffocating your creation
See, Feel, Breathe
Become one
See, Feel, Breathe
Become one
See, Feel, Breathe
Become one
MVP!
I forgot about this song!!!
Officially my new favorite Skeletonwitch song. This is fucking phenomenal.
Love the work on guitars, this vocals way darker than before, and of course, the black approach specially for this song...great song \m/
This song is so good man. Really grew on me after a few lessons.
Just saw Skeletonwitch last night in Boston. Get ready if your going to a show on this tour. Totally blew me away. Vicious riffs. Excellent show those mother fuckers shred.
Get ready people. Aghhhhhhh
Im really enjoying this song, hope that the rest of the album will maintain this quality.
You know it's a good day when you get som new Skeletonwitch :D
Amazing album, really like the style.
This song is just excellent. Very impressed with the direction, here's to hoping the rest of the album is like this!
This is so fucking good.
I am so excited for the new album. Just saw these guys live and their musicianship is flawless.
Coming back strong
Their best song in many years, maybe ever imo, and I’ve been a fan for a loooong time. This is a lesson to other bands in how to reinvent your sound to keep things fresh without losing the soul or the quality.
Really digging the new Skeletonwitch :) \m/
This is super legit. Riffs for days.
I love the mood and sound of this song, great job guys!
Fuuuuckkkkkk! I wish these guys would drop a new album.
Saw these guys with The Red Chord and Job for a Cowboy. Amazing show.
First a Rivers of Nihil album with saxophone, now a progressive black metal Witch. Man, 2018 is weird. If Pig Destroyer puts out a funeral doom album, I wouldn't be shocked at this point. That said, this song isn't bad, it's just not the riff-driven blackened thrash I associate with Skeletonwitch.
I think Pig Destroyer already did: Natasha and Mass and Volume are both Pig Destroyer doing doom
Definitely doomy/sludgey in an Inter Arma kind of way. But far from funeral doom.
Winterfylleth did a full folk album too. Lol 2018 has been a weird one
Fest forward one year, Darkthrone goes prog sludge
Is this Skeletonwitch? The song is 3x longer than I expected and I love that
My drive in to work has never been better!!
Fucking stoked. I'm loving the longer format songs.
The vibe this gives off is amazing
This song is amazing when it's played live! As well as recording.
This is so good. Stoked for this record.
Absolutely my most favourite intro so beautifully composed hope to see skeletonwitch sometime in the near future bravo lads! My new favourite band
I'm a simple man. I see Skeletonwitch, I click like.
I'm a simple man. I see Jeremy Sanchez liking Skeletonwitch, I also click like.
I'm a simple man. I see isl1551 liking Jeremy Sanchez for liking Skeletonwitch, I also click like
I'm a simple man. I listen to the entire song. I click Like if it's good. In this case yes :D
I'm a simple man
I'm a simple woman.
Yes!!! That's more like it!!! Finally sold on the new singer. Love the new direction. Smart move on their part.
This is pretty epic. I've got it on loop.
More of a black metal feel to this song.
mikey seweyestwa aside for the song not sounding like black metal or having black metal vocals... it does sound like a metal core band imitating black metal feel hahahahaha funny comment
PSALM 119:105 i guess they are not trying to imitate black metal sound or any other sound... they're just growing as musicians and making their own sound... using melodic and modern metal elements... even since their first album you can hear the modern elements and they've always been open minded musicians and an amazing band... i know this album is gonna be awesome even if there are "trves" that doesn't like how the music evolves
and this is a good thing :)
Sounds amazing...this style is even better for them.
Haters hate cause they cant write riffs anywhere near as well as skeley witch can. Posers...
That was awesome!
That Riff.... I could loop that all day
IT RIPS. Can't wait for July. Some of the most talented dudes in music today. The guitar tones are fucking awesome. So stoked to have a Kurt Ballou produced Skeletonwitch album.
Absolutely amazing! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Excellent job!
05:27 on...man I hope this album is full of stuff like that. I'm ready for the Witch to go full Black Album.
Dude right! Did not see that coming
black album as in black metal or black album Metallica?
Metallica's Black Album - I'm ready for someone like these guys to really bite into that forbidden fruit.
videomancy i wanna see them become a metal giant, so yes 🙌🏻
Nikka dats the gayest part of the song...
Loving the underlying melodies
These guys were just in line in front of me at the Frankfurt airport. Never heard of them before but I like it. Nice guys too.
This new stuff is so much better. Song writing is way more creative and the black metal flavor is extra awesome.
Talented group of individuals. Got to meet them after the Phoenix show, such nice dudes too. That solo is perfect. It has a Pink Floyd feel to it. So many good riffs. Bass line is also solid as always. Can't wait for the whole album to come out. Need to see them live again and again. They definitely have become my favorite band.
Deep and intense.
This is phuking awesome! I need the whole album now!
FINALLY !!! I've been dying and waiting for the sequel to "The Apothic Gloom"
OMG I live this new album
Beautiful.
Great Skeleton Witch, great track
So goooood!
This is the kind of stuff I hoped for since the release of their last EP.
Intense! Love this song
Okayyyyyyy, I'm diggin' what I'm hearin'

anyone who doesn't like this singer has something wrong with them IMO. I love this guys voice. It fits the music perfectly. Love this song man.
This is fantastic stuff
High hopes for this album.. great song!! \m/
Hail The Witch!!! Best thing to come outta my home town
Yes! The Witch is back!
How did I JUST come across this?? I'm behind the times on this one. Saw these guys in Chicago with Amon Amarth. Killer show.
I appreciate the progressive touch, the groove is excellent. Will be looking forward to this album.
Amazing black metal, looking forward to the rest of the album
Melodic blackened death/thrash to be even more precise!
he's not exactly wrong despite that label being rather cumbersome to read lol. tbh at this point I feel like they've crossed over from blackened thrash into full-on melodic black metal, I get a big dissection vibe from this in particular.
Jakromha There's no death anywhere in this
so good
Excellent work.i like much.
Love the new direction boys!!!!! I'm feeling that Enslaved/Scandinavian influence. See ya'll back in Toronto soon!
Long time caller, first time listener. This is pretty impressive.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Holy shit...this song is so balanced and damn good. First song I heard of them. I liiike
Damn, color me impressed. This song is awesome.
great tune
This is great
I've just discovered them. This track is powerful :)
this is what I need now
I dig it. So many people don't like Chance being out, and that's understandable. However, I feel that this is the freshest the band has sounded in years, and I love The Apothic Gloom EP to death. Let the boys experiment a little. It's a good thing.
stoked to see them in toronto as part of the obituary tour.
THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. i saw you guys twice in boise idaho!!
