How crazy genre mixes can be? Metal and hip-hop? No problem, Rage Against the Machine did it few years ago. Metal and ambient? Hmm, check out Ayreon or Ulver and you'll see it already exists. Metal and reggae? Oh, well, I had no idea about it till the day I've heard about Skindred. Usually I hate to post the emoticons around, but here I'll make an exception: O_o.There was a high risk of an epic failure. This kind of music lies not far from melodic hardcore, which is currently conquered by innumerable poor and hopeless bands. Fortunately, four-piece team from Newport have avoided the pitfalls. When they show metal agression, it's well calculated and fits into song structure. They switch it into reggae groove at right moments. And, from time to time, they add some tricky weirdness from, that makes them less predictable.
Recently, I'm lucky to dig bands which that recently released new stuff or they are about to do so. Skindred is not an exception: 'Shark Bites and Dog Fights' is coming soon, exactly at 1th of September. Uff, it looks like I'll be so busy listening this autumn.
