Skeletonwitch

Skeletonwitch guitarist Scott Hedrick’s left-hand path is more meditational than metal on his new debut solo album, Devotional Drift Vol. 1.

Hear death hoosiers Flesher, featuring Paul Breece, Gus Matracia, and Dustin Boltjes, serve up hearty helpings of gore-drenched brutality on their latest sinister offering Tales of Grotesque Demise. 

Hear Evan Linger (Skeletonwitch bassist) and Julia Gaeta (former Albez Duz guitarist) collaborate on Siouxsie Sioux-meets-Killing Joke-meets-Joy Division project Dreamwheel.

When he’s not crushing skulls as Skeletonwitch‘s guitarist, Scott Hedrick is crushing personal bests in long-distance running.

Def Leppard bassist Rick Savage is a Skeletonwitch fan!

The Decibel Magazine Tour has been in full swing for three weeks now, and for Skeletonwitch, it’s been a perfect vehicle to introduce their new frontman, Adam Clemans. We caught up with Clemans and guitarist Scott Hedrick after a blistering 40-minute set at San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom to talk tour stories, album plans, and Facebook etiquette.

The Decibel Tour starts tomorrow. But you can indulge in a new Abbath video today.

Less than seven days out! And we’ve got shirts, posters, and tickets to give away, in addition to other (very metal) recent announcements.

Missing out on this is sort of like missing out on last call at the bar. If they gave you extra beers at the same price, that is. 

Here at the shredder’s studio we usually have one chair in the virtual office. Today, we need to pull up two. Nate Garnette and Scott Hedrick agreed to spend some time with us and walk us through their many influences. Please welcome the dual shredders of Skeletonwitch to the shredder’s studio, our 14th episode! Even…

America’s only monthly extreme music magazine is turning 10, and we’re too pumped up to settle for just one birthday party. On October 18, Decibel is taking Manhattan (and Brooklyn) with two exclusive, blowout concerts. First up at Best Buy Theater in Times Square: the globally renowned axework of Amon Amarth, Sabaton and Vallenfyre (the…

Monday night. Hours after a severe weather incident. In most cases, a metal show in Philadelphia on such a weeknight after such a crippling storm would’ve kept longhairs and horn throwers home. A venue vacant, save its sadluck staff. Tonight, however, Philadelphians surprised. They came out in droves not just for the headliner, Amon Amarth,…

Dustin Boltjes has a lot of reasons to be pumped right now. His band Skeletonwitch released its fifth (and possibly best) full-length, Serpents Unleashed, on Tuesday (probably the most important item on this list). The Ohio quintet just kicked off a string of tourdates alongside The Black Dahlia Murder. Oh, and he and bandmate Chance…

Anybody heard of “Kurt Ballou”?  The hairy dudes in this video here keep referring to him as if he’s well known or somehow important, even relevant (!) to the current music scene.  Weird.  He twiddles knobs, people.  It’s not like he’s some badass guitar player or (ha!) songwriter in a legendary metallic hardcore band.  Let’s…

OK, so this is is effectively grabbing a pile of kindling and tossing it onto the hype inferno, but fuck it, we should probably remind/advise you that his forthcoming Kvelertak/Skeletonwitch tour is the most exciting thing that’s happening Stateside in the immediate future. Consider this a public service announcement, or something to that effect. Shit,…
