Skeletonwitch is an American extreme metal band hailing from Athens, Ohio, formed in 2003. Known for their ferocious blend of melodic death metal, thrash, and black metal, the group has carved out a niche for themselves within the metal community with their relentless energy and commitment to their craft. Spearheaded by the original members, guitarist Nate Garnette and drummer Dustin Boltjes, the band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, with Garnette remaining a constant driving force.

The band's discography is a testament to their evolution and the refining of their sound, with acclaimed albums such as "Beyond the Permafrost" and "Serpents Unleashed" solidifying their standing in the metal scene. Their more recent work, including the 2018 full-length "Devouring Radiant Light," showcases a matured approach to songwriting, incorporating a wider array of influences while maintaining the high-octane brutality that fans have come to expect. With tracks like "Fen of Shadows" and "When Paradise Fades," Skeletonwitch continues to deliver ominous lyrical themes underscored by intricate guitar work and punishing rhythms, a combination that has not only retained their devoted fanbase but has also seen them attract new listeners in the ever-evolving metal landscape.
