Skindustry Is a four-piece metal outfit forged in St. Louis, Missouri and hailing from Orlando, Florida. Combining intricate melodies, stop-on-a-dime riffing, pummeling and intricate drumming, intense hooks and masterful songwriting, Skindustry is a ferocious machine that lays waste to all that falls before them. Onstage Skindustry is proving their status time and time again as a live killing machine, decimating crowds across southern Florida. Whether they are headlining shows throughout the Orlando area or supporting such legendary and diverse heavyweights as Carcass, Disturbed, Suffocation, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil and Aborted, Skindustry is truly a live juggernaut.
Skindustry features an impressive and formidable lineup, consisting of dual shred monsters, guitarist/vocalist John Slaughter (COLDERA, live EPICUREAN) and guitarist/backing vocalist Clayton Judge, along with the rhythm section tour-de-force of a drummer Adam Sagan (COLDERA, EUMERIA , ex-INTO ETERNITY) and bassist James DeVore.
Formed in 2005 by a guitar teacher and his student- namely John Slaughter (guitars & vocals) and Clayton Judge (backing vocals & guitars)- Skindustry is a solid unit, a brotherhood that has based its whole existence on a strong foundation: “All success comes with sacrifice.†Being a code of honor, this quote keeps the band’s mental status in great condition. Each band member shows excellent proficiency in different areas, other than musical ability, whether it’s with music business, songwriting, networking, etc. This Dark Army is being lead towards well deserved success.
John, an up-and-coming Florida shredder, was a self taught guitarist, until attending The Berklee College of Music, who always envisioned a pure metal band that appealed to the metal population but carried no boundaries, in musicianship or success. In spite of non-existent support from the mass media, the perseverance, uncompromising attitude and countless hours of practice are giving this band strong momentum in their climb to that success. Today Skindustry is arguably the most extreme band to come out of Orlando in a long time!
Be sure to catch Skindustry tear it up live or check out the stunning live performances, on the Skindustry YouTube Channel, to see why they consider their discography to be only a mere preview of their thunderous live act of mind blowing musical acrobacy. The Dark Army will be on the road in spring destroying stages across the southeastern U.S. and be sure to catch an unforgiving display of metal in their debut full length anticipated in 2009.
Some would consider the sound "Intelligent!" and "Gore filled!" at once. Now it is time for skindustry to raise the bar from those before. Ultimately carrying the torch and branding the world with thy name Skindustry!
