Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pioneering their self-described 'ragga metal' genre, Skindred's debut is a surprisingly cohesive collision of heavy alternative rock and Jamaican dancehall. The album pairs downtuned nu-metal riffs with aggressive, heavily syncopated reggae vocal deliveries and infectious melodic hooks.
