Skeletonwitch Hit The Road

02/19/2010
. Skeletonwitch swing back into action this week as they kicked off a run of headline shows. Howl and Iron Age support on all the dates, with Doomriders and Black Tusk appearing on select dates.

In April, the band will head out on a North American tour supporting the legendary Cannibal Corpse, alongside new label mates in 1349 and South Carolina's Lecherous Nocturne, including a stop at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest on April 24th.

Guitarist Scott Hedrick checked in from the van: "We're currently trudging throw the snow on our way to Massachusetts. Tour with Howl and Iron Age starts tomorrow! If partying with Howl at SXSW and Iron Age in Belgium is any indication...well....I can guarantee that WE are going to have a great f**king time. So come out and join us. Hang out and bang out!!

He continued on the opportunity to tour with CANNIBAL CORPSE: "Bands always say this kind of s*** but I truly mean it: It's an honor to hit the road with Cannibal Corpse. Anyone with an interest in extreme music can't deny the importance and influence of Cannibal.

We had the chance to meet Alex and Corpsegrinder at the Mayhem Fest in Cleveland and they were really f**king cool and down to earth. Cannibal Corpse are a perfect example of how to do this s*** right. Young bands take note. We certainly are as well.

Oh yeah....did I mention that 1349 is on the tour as well?! Holy f**k!"
