Bio
........ .. ............ Glasgow experimental rock outfit Secondskin have existed in various forms for nearly a decade and their talent and unerring dedication to achieving exactly the sound they want is unparalleled. .... The music of Secondskin combines elements of modern metal, with 70s prog. Often compared to acts as diverse as Oceansize, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah, Tool, Earthtone9 and Porcupine Tree, Secondskin appeal to the thinking music lover. .... Captive Audience boasts Secondskin’s unique blend of progressive metal and hypnotising grooves, with what UKMetalUnderground.com describes as: “A powerful work that is both beautiful and unsettling all at once. The vast swathes of atmospheric guitars augmented with a judicious and convincing use of effects and the ultra-defined bass sound all meld seamlessly to offer a rich sonic tapestry that draws the listener in with a succession of seductive sounds and textures.” The band have also won the support of Terrorizer magazine, who featured the track “Spoonful of Sugar” on their fear candy unsigned (71) cover-mount CD. .... Secondskin also boast a mesmerising live show which has previously earned them support slots with the likes of shels*, Cult of Luna, Glassjaw, Stand-up Guy, yourcodenameis:milo, Mindless Self Indulgence, Black Sun, Throats and Breed77. .... The band are currently busy writing the follow up album to Captive Audience which aims to shape a new reference in the progressive metal landscape. br />.. .... .. .. ...... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .......... .. .. ...... .. ........ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .............."When the euphoric peaks of Triggered Happy and Meanderthal crest, the four piece make some really cracking music"....Rock Sound........"Captive Audience, is a masterpiece of modern prog-metal.".. ..Teeth of the Divine........"..the dedication and soul that has gone into it drip from every pore ...a brave and ambitious first record"....Kerrang!........"Secondskin are one of the bands to watch out for in 2010." ....Altsounds.com........"Secondskin have a canny knack of taking complex and challenging themes and somehow managing to present them in such a way that the music sounds bright, tight and accessible "....Sea of Tranquility........"..hauntingly beautiful music providing the backing for similarly haunted-sounding vocals."....Alter the Press........"Captive Audience is an excellent record – impressive both in its ambition and in how fully the band have managed to realise their vision.
