History

Skinless was formed by Ryan Wade and Noah Carpenter in the town of South Glens Falls, New York. After relocating to various New York towns and cities such as Saratoga, Clifton Park, and Cohoes the band settled in Troy, New York. Skinless is known for its consistently intense performances[citation needed], as well as for their lyrical mix of end-of-the-world cynicism and comedy, which at times satires well known death metal lyrics from bands such as Carcass and Cannibal Corpse and death metal in general. These lyrical themes are demonstrated in songs such as "The Optimist," about a crumbling human society, and "Tug of War Intestines," which depicts children playing schoolyard games with a surgery patient's internal organs. Recently, the band has occasionally brought the "Skinless Girl"[clarification needed] on stage and let her be roughed up, covered in fake blood, while the band performed. Earlier in their careers, Skinless handed out long tubes of foam for the moshers to beat each other with while the band played. These tubes were nicknamed, "The Logs of Brutality". Their 1998 debut album, Progression Towards Evil, was an independent release and has garnered them high praise by metal critics.[citation needed] They have released four albums, their most recent being Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead in 2006. IN June 2010 Skinless played a reunion show with the line-up from the first 2 full-length albums. Guitarist Noah Carpenter wanted SKINLESS to continue in this formation but the band's 'fire' wasn't there anymore. In April 2011, Skinless officially split up, but soon after announced a farewell performance at Maryland Deathfest 2011. All the members are continuing as musicians in other bands.[3]
