Skeletonwitch – Beyond The Permafrost (2007)

December 22, 2024

Skeletonwitch are one of those bands that have always existed on the fringes of my musical periphery (lol), but Beyond The Permafrost is a fantastic record that I vividly remember coming out. It’s a bit “one note” perhaps, and the cover art looks like something a bog standard late 00s Relapse Records doom and or sludge band would use, but the groups potent mix of various metal subgenres really comes together rather perfectly. The standout track for me, and one that has stuck with me over time, is “Baptized In Flames”. Good shit.
