A lot blood is shed, and one poor man will get his organs chewed on. The video (made by Julia Rydstedt) is definitely fairly humorous, and the observe itself is a thundering rampager with all the mandatory Swedish DM accoutrements.

The band provided this description of the brand new observe and video:
“‘Skinwalker’ is a couple of darker type of transformation. The Navajo legend that impressed this tune is about witches who by means of darkish deeds acquire the power to tackle the type of an animal to carry out their malevolent will. They don’t see what they’re doing as one thing dangerous or evil, as an alternative it’s only a new type of energy, though from our perspective what they’re doing is horrifying.
The tune is each heavy and melodic, completely suiting the theme of the legend and the transformation itself. ‘Skinwalker,’ not like lots of our different songs, will not be meant to be inspiring—as an alternative it performs with the considered giving in to your darkest wishes.That is additionally mirrored in our music video for this tune, which is our fashionable tackle this legend.”
