Band biography
Skinless photo
Skinless exploded onto the face of humanity in 1992. Despite a variety of lineup changes, the songwriting team of Noah Carpenter (guitars) and Sherwood Webber (vocals) has remained constant since 1994. After adding the talents of Bob Beaulac (drums) and Joe Keyser (bass) SKINLESS established a solid, dedicated line-up, recorded two demos and appeared on numerous compilations. In 1998, SKINLESS released their full-length debut Progression Towards Evil. Recorded at Max Trax Studios in Albany, NY Progression... stunned the underground, showcasing the musicianship and energy that the band had become known for via its intense live performances. The album blazed a trail of brutality around the globe leaving fans of death/grind devastated, and searching for more. An entirely independent release, Progression... received frenzied acclaim from press the world over and saw remarkable sales.

An influential mainstay of today's underground, SKINLESS has embarked on extensive touring and made appearances at all the major metal festivals in the last few years, earning the band a reputation as one of the hardest working and most intense acts in metal. SKINLESS has embarked on three immensely successful tours in support of Progression..., introducing legions of fans to the punishing live SKINLESS experience. The band toured the U.S. with underground legends MORTICIAN on 1999's Chainsaw Tour, and in the Spring of 2000, SKINLESS toured the U.S. and Mexico with INCANTATION, spawning even more followers of the brutal underground revolution.

SKINLESS' recent European headlining tour solidified the bands reputation as one of the most energetic and powerful live acts in the world.

On their Relapse debut Foreshadowing Our Demise, SKINLESS painted violent atmospheres of devastation. Foreshadowing Our Demise sonically documented the endless energy of the band's burly live performances, delivering an annihilating combo of high-tension grooves and ultimate brutality.

SKINLESS toured as much as possible in 2001-2002, being personally invited to hit the road with the likes of HATEBREED and SIX FEET UNDER, thus furthering their growing following. A high-profile appearance at the 2002 Beast Feast in Japan alongside SLAYER, PANTERA and the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN rounded out over two years of non-stop roadwork in support of Foreshadowing...

Inarguably one of heavy music's most energetic and fast-rising bands, SKINLESS return in 2003 with From Sacrifice To Survival. Alternating between high-speed salvos and piledriving grooves, the SKINLESS death machine embodies and amplifies the hardest-hitting hallmarks of U.S. metal. Featuring the stellar production work of Neil Kernon. (Cannibal Corpse, Judas Priest, Nevermore, EXHUMED) and powerhouse drumming of John Longstreth (ORIGIN), From Sacrifice To Survival has escalated SKINLESS' musical mania to an untouchable new apex.
