The Skull complete work on new album; confirm European tour dates

Chicago's THE SKULL, have confirmed that work is complete on their new album which is scheduled for release this autumn via Tee Pee Records. To accompany this news, the band have also announced a run of European tour dates for later in the year.

The new album will be the follow up to their 2014 debut For Those Which Are Asleep - which received widespread critical acclaim and is now a firm fan favourite. The band have confirmed that the new album will be titled The Endless Road Turns Dark - and no doubt tracks from this will feature heavily on the tour set list, alongside earlier tracks, and some classic Troublenumbers.

Among the show dates will be a two-night stint in Haugesund, Norway, where the band will play an all-Trouble set one night, and THE SKULL only on the other night. The tour will wind up at Malta Doom Fest 2018 on October 20. Support will come from Acid Muffin and Castle. For full dates, see below.

THE SKULL features former Trouble members vocalist Eric Wagner and bassist Ron Holzner, alongside Sacred Dawn/Divinity Compromised guitarist Lothar Keller, Brian Dixon of Cathedral, and Witch Mountain guitarist, Rob Wrong.

More information about The Endless Road Turns Dark will be made available in the coming months - stay tuned.
