WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SKINLESS?

Thursday, February 24th, 2011 at 10:30am by

So asked reader Ray Pecheone in an e-mail he sent us earlier this week. And since I enjoy helping fans track down seemingly off-the-grid bands, I did some snooping.

So apparently the band did play at least one live show in the past few months — their first in awhile, as I understand it. A source also tells me that the group is hoping to record a new album this year, but that there’s no official word as of yet. Assuming that they do make a new album in 2011, though, it will be their first release in some time — their last was 2006′s Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead. (They did release a collection of demos, Regression Towards Evil, in 2007, but that doesn’t really count.)

So, uh, hope that helps, Ray! While you wait for Skinless to make an extra super-duper official return, you should know that they at least have a new t-shirt design (right)… and it’s pretty rad! You can order one here.

    Shit, dude, I heard a Skinless track on Pandora the other day and wondered the same thing. ‘Foreshadowing’ was a pretty big album among my friends when it came out. Fucking crazy.

    On the note of what happened to bands, what happened to Pelican? They released their new album in 09 and, as far as I can tell, did little to no touring behind it. I know they said they didn’t want to tour as much now but there’s a difference between that and completely dropping off the map. I can’t find any updates from since like September of last year… odd…

    +1 pelican’s last album was great, and I was hoping to catch a show, but alas, it was not meant to be! Shitty, because I must’ve listened to that album almost non stop

    Skinless is badass. Saw them last time they were in Houston and they brought the house down. Would love to see some new material from these guys.

      I also saw them here in Houston, though it was on the Dying Fetus/Skinless tour a few years back. Both bands killed it, but Sherwood Webber made the mistake of saying “I heard that y’all don’t know how to circle pit down here in Texas!”.
      Huge mistake buddy! Place went crazy!

        Can I ask why this was a mistake? It seems his question illicited the exact response he wanted, unless Skinless is the only death metal band that hates when people move when they’re playing.

    skinless has a new dvd coming out soon, and their pushing their webstore everyday from their facebook page (“LIFE SUCKS…. and then you BUY”). hopefully this means something new is on the horizon.
