Album notes:
Originally formed from the ashes of dub-metal outfit Dub War, Skindred release their highly anticipated second album 'Roots Rock Riot'. Recorded by Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, Hot Water Music) the album sees the Welsh four piece continue with the unique brand of reggae and dub influenced metal and punk that graced their 2002 debut album 'Babylon'. The single 'Ratrace' is also included.
Skindred are a fairly unheard of new band, but they are surely soon to make a breakthrough into the popular rock scene with their unique blend of reggae beats and singing with some heavy guitar riffs and agressive drumming.
Skindred have already successfully supported Bullet for my Valentine in early 2008, and their music has also featured on several video games; NFSU2 for example.
I would recommend this band to anyone who likes bands such as Korn, Enter Shikari and other metal bands.
