The Skull is an American doom metal band founded by three former members of Trouble, vocalist Eric Wagner, bassist Ron Holzner, and drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson.
[2] The Skull headlined the Hell's Pleasure festival in Pößneck, Germany in July 2012 alongside NWOBHM band Angel Witch.
In late August and early September 2012, The Skull completed a tour of the US east coast and finished that trek by headlining the SHOD Fest (Stoner Hand Of Doom) in New London, Connecticut.
[4] Over a month later, it was announced that Robinson had exited the band in order to focus on "his demanding professional career", and former Pentagram guitarist Matt Goldsborough would be his replacement.
[5] In 2014, The Skull released their first single, "Sometime Yesterday Mourning," which also had a cover of Trouble's song "The Last Judgment" from the band's 1983 Demo as a b-side.
On August 24, 2014, the band announced that their debut album, titled For Those Which Are Asleep, would be released on November 4 through Tee Pee Records.
