Houston hardcore punk. Fast, raw, and ripping.
Skeleton Hands is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania southern metal band formed in 2011, a somewhat unlikely geographic fit that speaks to the style's spread beyond the American South — they play heavy, groove-driven music with the downtrodden, whiskey-soaked attitude that defines the genre. Philadelphia's metal scene has always had room for stylistic outliers.
Skeleton Horse is a groove metal and metalcore band from Panama City, Florida, formed in 2010, blending the rhythmic heaviness of groove metal with the structural dynamics and vocal intensity of metalcore. The Florida Panhandle is an underreported region for heavy music, and Skeleton Horse represents its working underground.
Skeleton Krew is a heavy metal band from Freehold, New Jersey, formed in 2014, taking their place in the long tradition of New Jersey and Northeast hard rock and metal that stretches back to the late 1970s. They play traditional heavy metal in a scene that still values straight-ahead riffing and no-nonsense songwriting.
Skeleton Proof Tanks is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Ridley, Pennsylvania, formed in 2021, blending the melodic sensibility of the Gothenburg tradition with the raw kinetic energy of American thrash. Their name alone signals an irreverent streak that sits alongside otherwise earnest extreme metal aspirations.
Skeleton Rose is a gothic and groove metal band from Hallock, Minnesota — a town so small and remote it makes their very existence a statement — formed in 2019. They blend gloomy melodic gothic metal with groove metal's rhythmic punch, a combination that stands out sharply against the surrounding flatlands.
Skeleton Screen is a Denver, Colorado post-metal and sludge metal band formed in 2020, building slow-burn songs from layers of distorted guitar, dynamic shifts, and the kind of punishing low-end that the Midwest and Mountain West underground has consistently produced. Their work occupies the emotionally heavy territory between Neurosis-style post-metal and traditional sludge.
Originally from Ohio, now Austin-based. Blackened thrash perfection.
Operating out of Juneau, Alaska since 2000, Skeletor blends the twin-guitar punch of power metal with the relentless attack of thrash, an unlikely combination born in one of America's most isolated state capitals.
