SKELETONWITCH has debuted the second single, titled “When Paradise Fades,” from their forthcoming album, Devouring Radiant Light, out July 20th on Prosthetic Records.
Skeletonwitch guitarist Nate Garnette calls it “a supercharged nano-epic that takes you from greasy rock n roll, to off-the-rails blackened destruction and beyond.” He further explains, “I tried to keep the intensity and grit front-and-center while making it a journey instead of a two-minute banger.” The track debuted over at Kerrang! who describe “the band edges deeper into black metal territory than ever before, with blastbeats, guitar tremolo, and atmospheric intros aplenty.”

Although they came together as a band in 2003, the members of Athens, Ohio’s Skeletonwitch draw the bulk of their inspiration from artists and musical styles born all of two decades earlier: namely the undying flame of classic Bay Area thrash; its creative bedrock in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal; and, to a lesser degree, death, black, and Viking metal. First introduced via 2004’s independently released At One with the Shadows album and 2006’s Worship the Witch EP, Skeletonwitch’s retro-fitted yet modernly executed creative vision arguably reached a new level of maturity with 2007’s Beyond the Permafrost full-length, their first for Prosthetic Records.
