The Bay Area bruisers Skinlab are back after a 3 year hiatus, and
this time they're in for the kill.

Formed is 1994 by Singer/bassist Steev Esquivel, former guitarist
Mike Roberts and drummer Paul Hopkins, Skinlab quickly began making a
name for itself in the Bay Area music scene. This brought attention
from Machine Head's Robb Flynn, who would go on to help the band
secure it's first record deal and their first sold out European tour.

Their appearance at the 1997 Dynamo Open Air launched the band into
a fury of tours both European and State Side, in support of the debut
album Bound Gagged and Blindfolded(Recorded by legendary metal
producer Andy Sneap).

With the departure of Roberts in 1998, the band quickly recruited
guitarists Scott Seargant (Killing Culture) and Snake (Skrew)and went
into writting mode. These sessions led to the Eyesore E.P which
introduced the
new line up (Available as a limited edition release of only 5000
copies which
to this day remains a cult classic with fans worldwide).
In 1999 the band entered El Paso's Village studio, again with
producer Andy Sneap, to record Disembody: The New Flesh. The album
went on to become an underground favorite for die hard metal fans
around the globe. 18 months of touring would follow, with the band
sharing the stage with the likes of Exodus, S.O.D, Fear Factory, the
Deftones, Coal Chamber, Deicide, Entombed, and Napalm Death. 1999
would also see the band making another
appearance on the main stage of the Dynamo Open Air Festival.

In 2003, Skinlab parted with guitarist Scott Seargant, and introduced
Glen
Telford to the line up. With Telford onboard, the band recorded The
Revolting Room, which to some, was the highlight of the bands
recording collection. Revolting Room saw the band move in more of a
heavy/melodic direction, both in terms of song writing and
production. This time the band worked with Producer Steve Evetts
(Hatebreed,Glasjaw), bringing in Andy Sneap to round out the ulitmate
mix of metal fans have learned to
love.

The Revolting Room touring cycle saw the band share the stage with
such acts as Hatebreed, Superjoint Ritual, Arch Enemy, Soil, and In
Flames.
They would hit stages from London to El Paso, making
friends and new fans by the thousands. After a successful run of
dates on the JagerMusic/Slayer Tour, the band decided to take a break
and explore other musical adventures.

After a 4 year hiatus Skinlab, returned to the road with the "The
Face Of
Aggression" tour. This tour saw the band bring back it's furious
stage
presence and 'in for the kill attitude', culminating with a June 3rd
2007 performance at The Oakland Metro. This intense performance was
captured for a future DVD and live album release.(04/29/2008 Skinlab
return with the release of "SkinnedAlive!" through BCD Music Group).

Skinlab has recently joined forces with Devildriver's Dez Fafara and
Eddy
Eortell's The Family Management group. The band is hard at work,
writing
the next full length album, which they hope to have recorded
by the end of the 2008.
