SHED THE SKIN (Incantation) "Thaumogenesis" CD

Highly anticipated fourth album of US Death Metal. SHED THE SKIN should require little introduction. Hailing from the metal hotbed of Cleveland, Ohio, SHED THE SKIN are a veritable hydra-head of underground experience: drummer Kyle Severn (Incantation, Perdition Sect), guitarist Matt Sorg (Ringworm, Perdition Sect, Soulless, ex-Blood of Christ), vocalist/guitarist Ash Thomas (FAITHXTRACTOR, CRUCIFIED MORTALS, SURGIKILL, THE VLADIMIRS), and bassist Ed Stephens (Ringworm, Shok Paris, Vindicator, Vanik). And while the band formed as a tribute to fallen friend and bandmate Tom Rojack of Blood of Christ, SHED THE SKIN have taken on a life of their own over three albums 2016's Harrowing Faith, 2018's We of Scorn, and 2020's The Forbidden Arts, which have reaped acclaim for their acute balance of death metal's old school and its newer one, remaining crushing and compelling every step of the way.
