Skeletonwitch
With the release of
Beyond The Permafrost in 2007,
this Ohio band is starting to generate some buzz.
The name Skeletonwitch sounds like a nod to the old school,
and while their basic style (thrash) is indeed old-school,
this is not a retro-thrash act like so many others that have
popped in the last year or two.
Instead,
Permafrost mixes some more modern influences
(notably the black/death vocals and a faint black guitar style)
with prime thrash and even a dash of NWOBHM,
to rather good effect.
This isn't yet a first-division band, but one definitely moving
up -- a solid recommendation to modern thrash fans.
