Genre: Metal
Skintilla create their own style of power groove metal, that blends dual attacking guitars, a pounding rhythm section with ground shaking power vocals, all coming together to make their live performances both entertaining and unforgettable. The band spent most of 2002 re-evaluating itself and its material, resulting in a major line up change, which has filled in the cracks and strengthened their unity.
As their previous releases, Left for Dead, 1998 and Kranker, 2001, their current release 'Shedding Skin' has received an overwhelming National and International media response, with airplay and positive reviews in numerous magazines and webzines throughout Australia, Europe and North America.
The opening track ‘Trust’ was nominated in the best Heavy Metal Song category at the prestigious 2003 Australian Musicoz song awards and also features on the respected international BW&BK magazines ‘KnuckleTracks’ CD sampler.
Recent performance highlights include appearances with Alchemist and Daysend, Melbourne Metal & Hardcore Festival 04. Metal For The Brain Festival 05
'Shedding Skin'
"Immediately attention-grabbing….Skintilla could easily demolish numerous Nth American bands just the way Godzilla destroys Skyscrapers" BW & BK Magazine - Canada
"….Damn this band can write some catchy as fuck riffs…. Thus band will crush all and I can't wait to hear more material and if they aren't picked up by a big indie label something is wrong." Metalcore - USA
‘’ …. Skintilla kick out some up tempo rumbling riffs, and jack hammer drumming that compels the listener to stomper around like a moshing behemoth…. "
