Today Ohio Metal goliaths SKELETONWITCH are streaming a NEW song called "Tragedy of Days" at Prosthetic Records’ official bandcamp page. Never formally released on record in the States, the tune was recorded during the 'Forever Abomination' sessions with producer Matt Hyde and appeared on the Decibel Magazine Flexi-Disc series (Oct. 2011 issue) as well as the Japanese edition of 'Forever Abomination'.
Comments guitarist Scott Hedrick of the track: “’Tragedy of Days’ was an epic instrumental by [guitarist] Nate [Garnette]'s former band Serkesoron. They disbanded after the untimely passing of Serkesoron's frontman, Thom Wright. Shortly after the band called it quits, SKELETONWITCH was born. We re-recorded the track and Chance [Garnette] added vocals as a tribute to Thom, immortalizing him in song."
In related news, the new vinyl reissues of the SKELETONWITCH's breakthrough releases 'Breathing The Fire' and 'Beyond The Permafrost' are now shipping from the Prosthetic Store. Both are available in three variants -- splatter, half-and-half and 180-gram black wax -- and feature gatefold Stoughton "tip-on" record jackets. The black vinyl versions of both albums will be available in select retail stores on April 10.
Additionally, the band recently unveiled a NEW video for the song “The Infernal Resurrection,” which comes off their The studio offering, 'Forever Abomination'.
