Skeletonwitch entered a Los Angeles, CA area studio today to begin tracking their as-yet untitled new album with producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Machine Head) at the helm. The effort will mark the debut of ex-Demiricous drummer Dustin Boltjes, who has now officially been welcomed into the band.
Speaking on the outing and Boltjes, band guitarist Scott Hedrick had the following to offer:
“Waiting fucking sucks! So, after months of writing, it’s great to finally be in the studio tracking the new album. It’s not rocket science…it’s epic, it’s brutal, it’s fucking Skeletonwitch! We can’t wait for everyone to hear it. We’d also like to officially welcome aboard our newest member Dustin Boltjes. He’s a great fucking dude and an animal behind the kit. We couldn’t have found a better fit. Welcome aboard, brother!”
In addition to the following spate of overseas touring this summer, the band will be hitting the road this fall alongside DevilDriver, Chthonic and one more band TBA. Further details on that trek are expected next week.
