LIVE REVIEWS
PLANET LOUD ---- Skin The Pig are a much more brutal, in-your-face, and altogether convincing act. Sounding like a cross between Cult Of Luna, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, The Acacia Strain and a sledgehammer to the face, their sound is best summarised as flowers on a grave stone mixing the bleak and the beautiful to stunning effect. Vocalist John is captivating the leader of the pack, ripping his way through tracks like Our Name Is Legion with bursting veins and guttural vocals. Stunning.Adam Starkey
CD REVIEWS
TERRORIZER ---- There is a Majestic Air about Skin the Pig. Thier Material Covers Many bases: Sludgy but Delicate, intense but gentle, puninishing but thoughtful. If A direct Comparison will clear the picture, try Neurosis with their ability to find beauty in noise. Each of the five songs are Crackers, with the best being the nine-minute Epic 'Until the End' that shows them at their bi-polar best. The vocals Flipping between clean sung and a scott Kelly Below. If ever a Band deserved a record Deal in 2006, it is Skin the Pig. (8.5) IW
BORN IN BLOOD---- There's no denying the bruising, cathartic qualities of Skin the Pig's embittered outpourings. True, throughout the years the bands sound has matured but this Anglo Irish 5 piece still maintain their capability of creating epic slabs of modern metalIt may well have been 2 years since the last Skin the Pig ep, but opener "The Language of Self Determination" renders that hiatus instantly meaningless; as soon their inimitable hardcore tinged metal drags itself from the speakers like some fiercely intelligent creature, it's as if they have never been gone.Suffocatingly heavy and extremely dynamic, this does the Neurosis meets Remembering Never sound a great deal of justice. Track number 2, "The Sixth Divide", soon reveals the bands progression and maturity throughout the space of two years. The bands new found ear for dynamics and atmosphere helps add to the intensity of the ep rather than diffusing it.The 10 minute epic "Until the End" is the strongest track on offer here. The constantly shifting moods throughout the duration help to showcase the bands unique talent to mix Progressive Metalcore with a Neurosis esque dynamic.With an epic and beautiful finale, Skin the Pig manages to conclude this fantastic ep with a manner only fit for a king.Mindblowing!
