XENOKORP is proud to announce the signing of a multi-album
deal with US dark Death Metal band SKINNED, the release of the group’s fifth
full-length, “Shadow Syndicate“, on May 04 and the immediate launch of the FREE
digital single / music video "We Are the End"!
Firmly rooted in the Death Metal spectrum, SKINNED have
since their inception in 1995, always combined styles to create their very own
kind of Extreme Metal by twisting and re-shaping sub-genres, the result being a
unique mix of Death Metal, dark Doom soundscapes, hyper blasts, Black Metal dramatic
grotesquery and heavy slams.
This monstrous band’s ability to invoke innumerable extremes
to create some of the heaviest, most epic, dark and brutal yet groovy brand of
Death Metal is impressive. From their debut demo to present, the level of
progression and diversification is vast and seemingly unstoppable.
Much like the relentlessness of their music, SKINNED
continue to canvas the world with countless past tours and gigs on such
sub/continents and countries as North and Central America, Europe, Russia,
Japan, South Africa, South Asia… most recently with the likes of DEFEATED
SANITY, KATAKLYSM, INCANTATION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE and many more, making SKINNED
a globally recognized force within the Extreme Metal scene as a whole and that
for sure won’t stop with their new deal with world-renowned management and
booking agency THE FLAMING ARTS and the release of their brand new landmark
album, “Shadow Syndicate“ through XENOKORP on May 04.
Varied in shapes and moods, “Shadow Syndicate”, produced by
Dave OTERO (CATTLE DECAPITATION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE…) and featuring, among
others, guest vocals by Josh WELSHMAN (DEFEATED SANITY…) and guest lyrics by
Paul McGUIRE (CEREBRAL BORE…), is the kind of work of art that’s much more than
a collection of tracks: it’s a world in itself where each song explores a
different aspect of dark beliefs (conspiracy theories, unsolved mysteries…),
the whole creating a society of extreme darkness under the domination of the
New World Order where the citizens become cattle for the governments and guinea
pigs for alien entities, ultimately leading your specie to its ultimate demise,
the face under the merciless boot of the… “Shadow Syndicate“!
