Ripping forth like a dagger from the flesh of Austin, Texas, comes the self-titled debut album from the lone star state s new wreckers of civilization, Skeleton. Having plied their black market trade for several years in grime-infested underground dungeons and sub-basements, 20 Buck Spin was called forth to issue their first album, a cataclysmic expansion of the band s unhallowed vision, venturing well beyond it s earlier borders. Though some might be prone to lazily apply simplistic genre tags to Skeleton s style, the reality is far more sweeping as this debut immediately reveals an excessively sharp metallic-charged juggernaut of severe force and high plains mayhem. Contained within are war-like hymns for the soldiers of a scorched apocalypse to come, from which a bleak alternate future will no doubt emerge. The eleven tracks comprising Skeleton signal the black dawn of a new breed, and when the final somber strains of Catacombs close out the album, an eerie sense of the end as the beginning lingers like a morbid premonition
