SHED THE SKIN: POST NEW TRACK "HARROWING FAITH" VIA BANDCAMP

Cleveland, Ohio death metal warriors SHED THE SKIN, via BANDCAMP,  have posted "HARROWING FAITH", the title track from the bands anticipated new release, due to be unleashed 6/17/2016 via HELLS HEADBANGERS.








SHED THE SKIN unleashed "REBIRTH THROUGH BRIMSTONE", 12/12/2014 via HELLS HEADBANGERS.


 FROM HELLS HEADBANGERS:
Today, old-school death metal upstarts Shed the Skin premiere the new track "Harrowing Faith" at heavily trafficked webzine Transcending Obscurity. The track hails from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Harrowing Faith, set for international release on June 24th via Hells Headbangers. Late in 2014, Hells Headbangers released the quintet's first recording, the Rebirth Through Brimstone 7", and the buzz built about this "new" American death metal band. But Shed the Skin, in fact, include a number of considerable scene veterans: among them, Kyle Severn of Incantation on drums, Matt Sorg of Ringworm on guitars, Ash Thomas of Vladimirs and Faithxtractor on vocals, and Ed Stephens from Vindicator on bass.
With all that combined experience, it's no surprise that Harrowing Faith is as massive as it is. Just like Rebirth Through Brimstone, the more fully fleshed-out Harrowing Faith is 100% DEATH METAL but does not bow to any one era, "school," or region: simply, this is masterful songwriting coupled with utterly crushing production, all while proudly being "just" death metal. Granted, there's a fine number of balances across the album - melodic vs. gutted, blastbeaten vs. doomed-out, headbanging vs. skullcrushing - but everything is done in service of the song. Each one explodes from the speakers and twists 'n' turns in ways unique to it, with all 12 tracks combining to create a swift but immediately memorable experience. Hear one of those swift 'n' memorable attacks exclusively HERE, courtesy of Transcending Obscurity, where an interview with Kyle Severn can also be read.
With the band slated to play this year's "Hells Headbash - Part 3" and more live assaults on the way, Shed the Skin are poised to exert their dominance on the death metal scene: no better time, then, to indoctrinate to Harrowing Faith! Begin that indoctrination HERE at Hells Headbangers' Bandcamp, where Harrowing Faith can also be pre-ordered here: https://hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com/album/harrowing-faith
