Skeletonwitch touring with Soft Kill, Wiegedood, Portrayal of Guilt, more

Skeletonwitch have announced a US headlining tour in support of last year’s Devouring Radiant Light, their first album with new singer Adam Clemans (of Wolvhammer), following the departure of frontman Chance Garnette (who was kicked out of the band due to being charged with assault and battery on a family/household member). If you haven’t heard the album, it’s killer, and it’s proof that Skeletonwitch are doing just fine despite all the roadblocks they faced.

Most dates on the tour have support from Portland post-punks Soft Kill and Belgian black metallers Wiegedood (members of Oathbreaker), and there’s additional support varying by date from Texas screamo newcomers Portrayal of Guilt (who released one of the best punk albums of 2018), Philly blackened punk newcomers Devil Master (whose anticipated Relapse debut comes out in March), and Swedish metal/punk greats Martyrdod (whose anticipated new album Hexhammaren is due this year).

The tour includes a Brooklyn show on May 3 at Saint Vitus with Skeletonwitch, Soft Kill, Wiegedood, and Portrayal of Guilt all on the bill. Tickets for that ridiculously good quadruple bill go on sale Friday (2/15) at 10 AM. All dates are listed, with music from all bands on the tour, below.

Meanwhile, Portrayal of Guilt are currently on a headlining tour, which hits Brooklyn TONIGHT (2/13) at The Kingsland with Fluoride, Gatherers, and Nerveshatter. Tickets are still available.
