Skeletonwitch

Among the torchbearers of the '00s thrash resurgence, Skeletonwitch bring together epic, classic '80s thrash and sounds from the new wave of British heavy metal, throwing in elements of modern black metal, melodic death metal and Viking metal to create their own brand of assaulting riffage. On Beyond the Permafrost -- their much-buzzed-about debut for Prosthetic -- the Witch unleash every screaming guitar solo their dual flying Vs can manage, and all the aggression any Hessian can handle.
