Single Premiere 

Beneath The Skin - Fade Away

 

That gutter spawn guitar tone. That chainsaw bass thump. The drums count down and as the vocalist enters, it just all rolls on! Like an unstoppable wave or riffs, groove and weight! This is some damn gritty stuff and we are absolutely honored to present it to you all right here right now as we PREMIERE the Fade Away single by Kansas City fourpiece Beneath The Skin!

You might know these fellas from their wild five track EP from last year called Pay Up and they are about to follow that up with something even more wicked as they are set to roll out their self-titled full-sized debut on April 18th! A full review of this amazing release will follow shortly. But holy hell, this Fade Away single alone... You ready for the PREMIERE?
 
A dense, riff heavy sound, rooted in doom and sludge, elevated by a strong sense of groove and attitude and the ability to turn all of that into a goddamn tsunami. The guitars hit with crushing weight, balancing slow, punishing passages with head-nodding rhythms that give the music a gritty momentum. Vocals shift between rough-edged growls, expressive, faster phrasing, adding depth and personality to the heaviness. Raw, lived through, lived-in, hard earned. Fade Away, is filled with equal parts tar pit and barroom brawl, ready to pounce, ready to bruise… But you will be proud of the scars! I know I am… 

   Press play on Beneath The Skin's Fade Away single now and get ready for the full album to drop on April 18th!

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.”

Beneath The Skin’s self-titled full-length is slated for April 18th, and “Fade Away” leads the charge.
