The Skull Announces U.S. Headlining Tour Dates




The Skull, featuring vocalist Eric Wagner and bassist Ron Holzner, formerly of metal legends Trouble, has completed work on its highly anticipated sophomore album.

A fall release date via Tee Pee Records is projected for the new LP.

"The Skull have always been a pretty fascinating band for me, formed out of the ashes of one of the greats, they have now fully integrated into the modern doom scene, pulling in current and former members of Witch Mountain and Pentagram (among others) to create a lineup that simply can't help but impress. Simply put, The Skull is made up of some of the realest motherfuckers alive and the music reflects that. These are dudes who live and breathe rock and roll and the more you invest in their sound the more you get out of it. The Skull is taking doom metal by storm and are about to conquer the globe" - METAL INJECTION
