Album Premiere
Beneath The Skin - Beneath The Skin
We haven't written the full review yet, but we cannot idly sit by as this amazing release hits the streets, across the globe, right now! It's the full self-titled album by Beneath The Skin! We were honored to bring you the single premiere for Fade Away and cannot stress enough that the Kansas fourpiece have managed to create a very own style after only releasing their Pay Up EP in 2025...
Their very own style, like a rusted freight train tearing through a dive bar at midnight, loud, filthy, and impossible to stop. Their riffs ooze and grind, thick as asphalt in summer, while the bass snarls like a busted engine ready to explode. Machinal in execution, but entirely human. Just like the drums, stomping, swinging, and dragging you into a lurching, headbang trance. It's all so relentless, overpowering, a surging wave that just washes over you. Or a slow motion landslide, filled with doom and sludge and all soaked in sweat, blood and whisky. We use the word grit often, but this is the personification of it. Back alley ambiance inviting you to join the brawl, there's pain here and scars, but it all feels so triumphant!
Go press play on the full Beneath The Skin album, out now!
PR Wire:
Beneath The Skin
Doom & sludge with soul from Kansas City
Self-titled debut album out April 18th
Genres: Doom, sludge, stoner
FFO: Crowbar, Down, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, Acid Bath, Melvins, CoC
Hailing
from Kansas City, Missouri, Beneath The Skin is a doom and sludge metal
four-piece poised to unleash their crushing debut self-titled album
this April, with lead single “Fade Away” dropping April 3rd.
Following
2025's “Pay Up” EP, an uncompromising chronicle of drug addiction and
recovery, the band are back with more hard-hitting groove and gritty
soul. Hailing from the Crowbar and Corrosion of Conformity school of
heavy, the riffs and swagger are front and center. Frontman Mike Riley’s
grizzled, wildman vocals growl and croon, oozing charisma atop a wave
of punishing grooves.
IN THE BAND'S OWN WORDS:
"We
worked on this album for around 2 years. We had a pretty aggressive
show season in 2024 and 2025 on top of recording our debut EP "Pay Up"
in early 2025, but “Pay Up” represented the band’s early days. Joshua
joined in spring of 24 and “Pay Up” was already written. With this one,
we wrote it all together in rehearsals during a challenging show
schedule so it was more of a complete project for us. We have
intentionally kind of explored the whole spectrum of the genre. This
thing moves around while still having a cohesive sound.”
