Giddy Up! Records will release Place Of Skulls' new album, As A Dog Returns, in North American on November 9, 2010. Said Giddy Up! label head Steve Seabury: "To me, Victor Griffin is a legend in the doom scene. I am like a little kid at the doom store. It's an absolute honor and privilege to have Place Of Skulls join the Giddy Up! Records family. This record is just amazing. I love it."
The follow-up to 2006's The Black Is Never Far was recorded at Lakeside Studios in Knoxville by Travis Wyrick and founding guitarist/vocalist Victor Griffin (Pentagram, Death Row etc.) with drums recorded and engineered by Mike Dearing.
Audio streams of "The Maker" and the title track are currently available on the band official MySpace page.
