Reggae and Metal are two genres that you would never imagine sounding good together, but then you listen to it and you're really happy they do.

Cause it’s about our very lives now.

[@ender4438]

bro this song have my age 💀

[@vampirelogan]

I just discovered them about 5 years ago and constantly amazed that their new stuff is just as good as their first stuff and vice versa. Same feeling I get from bands like System of a Down and especially Ozzy Osbourne (okay he went a little mellow at one point but even those songs were still bangers for what they were). Love bands that stand the test of time!

[@powertrip6426]

For me I think it's cuz they are so damn tight together. Just all in the pocket cuz it's not as easy with a singer who switches style so much. They kill it!

[@seeker296]

[@annieleblanc96]

Vladmir Dragunov It's Reggae Metal. You need to understand that there's different kinds of Metal. Nu Metal is too, people just like to say it's not because they don't want to admit it.

[@Vergil181]

I was on a Disturbed concert in Germany a few days ago. This guys were the act before. Never heard them till this day, will listen to Skindred from now on!

[@dylanjbiss]

This band has stood the test of time, as 14 years later there has not been another band quite like them. There was never a Skindred before them and we'll see if there ever is again 🤔 Alright... I'm done my yearly revisit to this song. See you again in 2023 👍

[@foxik992]

Let me recommend you SiM. It's not exactly the same, but the vibe is there.

Take care chilangua, I hope Canada is looking after you. I have quite a bit of family there

[@relentlesschaos7445]

I was just at the Laundromat and a thought randomly came up in my head. "Does Reggae Metal exist?" I searched and I found this and listened to more songs from Skindred. I've then added Skindred to my daily playlist

Saw them at graspop a few days ago. I must have been living under a rock, this is epic as hell 🤘

I saw them in Rock al Parque in Bogotá 2012, Colombia and they rocked the fuckin house. Never heard of them before back then, now, I can´t stop listening their masterpieces. These guys are really good.

[@charlesb-m4550]

This group is simply brillant, they use reaggea and metal as primary sound then soften the gap with punk and hip hop !

sounds like soad mixed with coheed. i absolutely love it.

It's weird the lead singer of the band lives in the same city as me and he walks around looking homeless but really he's a millionaire.

[@thedrumgod2512]

Easier to avoid publicity to be honest. A load of celebs go mad because of constant harassing by fans and paparazzi. Some rich people also turn into complete cunts because of the constant hounding people give them

[@Jacktrack7]

+callum micallef I don't think he's really a "millionaire" I mean sure he must have money and I love Skindred, but still they're just a mildly known band.
