Skinless - Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead (2006)

   Skinless was known about their high quality brutal death slamming and morbid humor. It seemed like they always tried to exceed themselves in brutality, and their name certainly sounds familiar for the audiences of brutal death.
   The band didn't change much, the concept stayed the same: gore, war and insanity on the most exaggerated level as it's possible. The only feature that was gone is the sick humor and the grotesque song intros. The previous album "From Sacrifice to Survival" completely lacked these, but even though some have returned, the band were not joking anymore. That gave a more serious impression to their music, and by this step they demarcated themselves from the that time uprising pornogrind subgenre, that was filled with countless similar references. The most extreme intensity they have introduced again. The themes, song structures and backing vocals showed modern brutal death tendencies. There isn't any calm moment to find on the album, and by only pure gory intentions "Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead" isn't so easy to go into. The most chilling song is a Black Sabbath cover at the end, that may sound surprising after the brain damaging noisy slamming, but they tried to perfom that classic so insane as possible too.
