Skinless

Musical Group

A New York-based quartet (active since 1992 in the reviews) associated with brutal death metal, noted for dark, claustrophobic soundscapes and a mix of gore-themed irony and pessimistic lyrics. Early releases on self-production and later association with Relapse Records are discussed in the reviews.

Reviewed lineup details include drummer Bob "The Big Guns" Beaulac and later John Longstreth; vocalist Sherwood Webber is repeatedly mentioned. Relapse Records is cited as the label for Foreshadowing Our Demise and From Sacrifice To Survival.

Tepes' DeBaser reviews celebrate Skinless' early work (notably Progression Towards Evil and Foreshadowing Our Demise) for its dark, claustrophobic brutality and distinctive drumming. Later releases (From Sacrifice To Survival, Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead) are criticized for a perceived stylistic softening, production issues, and lineup changes. Overall, the reviews mix high praise for early albums with disappointment about the band's later direction.

For:Fans of brutal death metal, underground metal collectors, readers interested in album-level critiques.

 The darkest side of Brutal Death Metal; this is, in a few words, the essence of this album.
