SKINLAB Begins Recording New Album

January 23, 2009

Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers SKINLAB have entered Trident studios in Pacheco, California with producer Juan Urteaga to begin recording their new album. According to bassist/vocalist Steev Esquivel, "Paul [Hopkins, drums] has slammed out seven [songs] so far and will return today to crush out the last of his tracks today!" He added, "What to expect?? Nothing but pure fuckin' heaviness!"

SKINLAB has uploaded a pre-production version of a new song, "In for the Kill", to its MySpace page.

The band's "In for the Kill" video was filmed in May 2008 at the group's warehouse in Oakland, California with new, up-and-coming director Jourdan McClure. The clip will feature an appearance by rebounding UFC fighter Nate Quarry and Greg Thompson.

SKINLAB released a live album, "SkinnedAlive!", in April 2008 via BCD Music Group. The CD was recorded on June 3, 2007 at The Metro in Oakland, California.

SKINLAB's current lineup:

Paul Hopkins - Drums
Glen Telford - Guitars
Steev Esquivel - Bass/Vocals
Snake - Guitars

SKINLAB's last studio album, "ReVolting Room", came out in 2002. A double-disc set, entitled "Nerve Damage", featuring alternate versions of studio tracks, several live tracks recorded on the band's "ReVolting Room" tour, plus two new songs, came out in 2004.
