California Death Rockers New Skeletal Faces Unveil New Single
After recently announcing their signing with Peaceville Records, California death-rockers New Skeletal Faces return today with a new single and details of their upcoming album, Until The Night.
The single, also titled ‘Until The Night’, is the first track from the band’s Peaceville debut and delves deep into the forgotten, dark underbelly of rock and roll. “Until The Night is about the ritualistic deviancies partaken by the lost souls of our planet” the band say. “It's an anthem for the heathens that plague the night." The album, recorded and mixed by Bill Metoyer (Slayer/W.A.S.P.), is set for release on November 1st.
Alongside the single comes a raucous new video directed by Gaberealhell. Speaking about the video, the band said, “The video for "Until The Night" captures the true essence of the song and lifestyle of the band. Done with little planning and no storyboard, you can feel the uncertain, spontaneous atmosphere”.

The band’s Peaceville debut, Until The Night (which follows in the path of 2019‘s Celestial Disease full-length release) further enriches New Skeletal Faces’ effortless blending of the spirits of old; with the seductive & spellbinding gothic prowess of bands such as Christian Death fused with the raw unbridled energy of early Swedish black metal legend, Bathory to create a bold new statement of intent, in stark contrast to the often overly-refined polish of contemporary metal. Until the Night is, as a result, something more akin to listening to the 1980’s Sunset Strip in an alternate universe from hell.
Formed in 2017, the trio of Errol Fritz, KRO, & Don Void present themselves as a cosmic abomination that tote the genre lines between all manners of darkness in music. New Skeletal Faces cast their own black light onto the long dormant corpse of Death Rock, shattering the mirror of modern Heavy Metal into fragments that reflect back a fresh new take on this form of music with an energised & outlandish conviction.
Recorded in the shadowy recesses of Hollywood, California, the opus was tracked, mixed and mastered by producer/engineer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, Wasp, DRI), capturing a richly crafted, organic sound authentic to the legends of the past, presenting all-new haunted tracks alongside a reimagined take on Bathory’s own Raise The Dead. Of the recording Bill Metoyer said “It was a pleasure working with New Skeletal Faces. A band who not only chose to NOT follow recent songwriting trends of so many other newer metal bands seem to do nowadays, but also the trends in the SOUND of their record.”
With a string of electrifying live performances showcasing their wild and untamed personalities already under their collective belts, & with the band gaining more and more steam with each transmission, New Skeletal Faces will take to the stage in support of the release of ‘Until the Night’ with the following release shows:
