SKELETONWITCH Launch Second Studio Video, Announce Additional Tour Dates

Ohio's SKELETONWITCH have posted the second "behind-the-scenes" video from the Forever Abomination sessions, which took place in Los Angeles over the summer with producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Children of Bodom). Check out the new installment located at ForeverAbomination.com. The band, who are currently on the road supporting Arch Enemy and Devildriver, and had previously announced October headline dates, have confirmed they will be doing more shows that month along with Kvelertak, including stops in NYC for the annual CMJ Festival, and will be supporting The Black Dahlia Murder in the UK and France early next year.

Forever Abomination will be issued in three formats: digital download; a six-panel, plastic-free digipak; and a triple-gatefold LP (which in turn will be available in several color variants). More details and pre-order are available at ForeverAbomination.com. The album features artwork by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Holy Grail, Cannabis Corpse), who also contributed the cover art for the band's 2009 release, Breathing The Fire. The track, "Reduced to the Failure of Prayer" is now in rotation at Sirius/XM's Liquid Metal and can be requested at their Facebook page. The track can also be streamed at ForeverAbomination.com

Forever Abomination will be released internationally on the following dates:
Mainland Europe: October 7
United Kingdom: October 10
North America: October 11
Japan: October 19
