Skeletonwitch Breathing The Fire


Who is pissing on me right now? I'm not sure whether it's El Nino or God or whoever the fuck, but there is no better time to listen to new music. I am currently listening to the new Alice in Chains album, which is already a classic in my ears and the new Flaming Lips album. There is a lyric in one of their new songs that says "those people are evil." Those evil motherfuckers are Skeletonwitch. Oh, and guess what they have a fucking amazing new metal album out called Breathing the Fire. These American Vikings play fucking metal that will make your grandmother shit blood and piss vomit. Their last album, Beyond the Permafrost, was below sub-zero temperatures. Their new album is hotter than the deepest depths of hell. It's hard to believe that they could have topped their last album, but they did it and they did it with the balls of a lion. They are leading the massive front in the modern thrash scene. With the help of producer, Jack Endino(High on Fire, Toxic Holocaust, and Soundgarden? Yes Soundgarden), they made a serial killer of an album. Picking a favorite song on this album would be like picking a favorite type of pussy. Now why would I do that? I like all types of pussy just as I like every single track on Breathing the Fire.
They blast out of the gates of hell on this album with the speed of a demon on crack, but there are also melodic elements on the album that calm this tornado of metal. Then, they go right back to destroying everything in their path.Chance, the lead singer, adds a new twist on his howling screams with a deeper growl, something not heard on their previous outings. The dual guitar assault of N8 feet under and Scunty D shred like maniacs and their solos are done with the axes of mass murderers. Loosh, the new bass player, jams like he was in the band before anyone was and when you hear the drums it sounds as if Mullet Chad was playing them in the bathroom next to you.
Skeletonwitch definitely stepped up their game on this album. Breathing the Fire is one of my top metal albums of the year hands down. So, do yourself and your grandmother a favor and pick this shit up. I guarantee you will not be let down by this black/thrash attack.
