[@esengulsoriano646]

SKINLESS IS FUCKING INTENSE!!!! Very underrated band!

[@CameronCN]

"LIFE SUCKSSSS, AND THEN YOU DIEEEE!" Followed by awesome music of coarse.

[@magistermilitum1206]

If your mom says it's too violent than you know it's a good song

[@EugeneCRS]

Seal of quality, basically.

[@Stratton08]

THIS CROWD needs a standing OVATION! I embrace the all the madness. Cheers everyone!

[@jamesshaw9979]

I love that i grew up going to this venue

[@WESwesleyWES]

That's Vince MacMahon's voice. "Life Sucks, and then you die!"

[@Gumbo72203]

[@AdelaideSkaterKid]

This shows mix is fucking brootal. It's soo rare that you get a band that sounds this good live!

[@PiErRe6363]

the intro realy rules! nice live

[@patrickquinnsucks]

Yeah

[@cycopl]

Pretty wild going with a live audio recording for their official music video. My old band opened for these dudes a handful of times back in like 2002. Sherwood was cool as fuck.

[@asbanok]

The crowd rules!

[@BelialsGenuflect]

AMAZING BAND! One of my favorite death metal bands.

[@misaelherrera3704]

Skinless should tour again and bring the chaos back to shows

[@zdenekzapletal8236]

Life sucks, and then you die Here lies our fate, a bleakly stained disgrace A cross between two worlds of liberty and hate Nothing is forgone, we'll never see the dawn Accept the consequence and kill the optimist Banished, feel the scream, end of dreams All is lost, all is lost... Indiscretly bludgeoning the motion of our former selves Subtlety has been erased, anarchy's in it's place Gods have fallen, hate is calling, witness the fall of enlightened souls Follow that instinctual urge, satanic freedom, Hell on Earth Supressed feeling you've had since birth Is ripping from beneath your skin Abomination you've held within Awakening, to a world without restriction Freedom, escape the land of pain Solution, sights set on suicide, eternity lies in question Life is nothing but a failed intention Silencing, erasing the voice of reason Victimize, execute the pure of soul Ecstacy is born in the blood of revenge Horrify the weak, a reflection of themselves Indiscretly bludgeoning the motion of our former selves Subtlety has been erased, anarchy's in it's place Gods have fallen, hate is calling, witness the fall of enlightened souls Follow that instinctual urge, satanic freedom, Hell on Earth Supressed feeling you've had since birth Is ripping from beneath your skin Abomination you've held within

[@Elric_edward_0]

That riff was so heavy it crushed my hands

[@marcusaschenbrenner1875]

THIS WAS THE CD MY MOM WAS LIKE IT SOUNDS THEY ARE DYING YEAH GOOD BAND GOOD CD GOOD DEATH METAL

[@suspiciouschunk922]

[@gothlover4u]

The Original vocalist was Sherwood Webber. For the last Album It Was Jason Keyser. Who also played for Mucopus. detriment. Mucopus and detriment are hard to find albums

[@ReZinFingA]

gothlover4u original singer was ryan wade only on demos though sherwood is on all albums

[@Nekrophagy]

is it just me or does the beginning sound like a sped up version of obituary- the end complete

[@dr.trichome6419]

Elitepro 11 obituary is badass that album world demise is the greatest death metal album of all time i cant believe how fucking brutal it sounds so sick

[@relapserecords]

[@juggalosticker]

Some of the most brutal Death Metal I've heard, Next to Regurgitate or Cannibal Corpse, or Gorelord.

[@ISY_112]

[@Gumbo72203]

[@Cleveraccountname]

Indeed they do. Their new singer did the 'Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead' album. Baldy here did the rest.

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

[@B166ER-]

[@Aardolar]

This band Looks AMAZING livei now Want to see them soo bad

[@AdamCole28]

the skinless vocals are just fucking awsome, suffocation's music is kinda slow like all of it. skinless is straight to the point

[@SelflessResurrection]

[@mmm6325]

oh fuck no man.thats sherwood webber.one of my favourite vocalist.he is the face of skinless.jason is awesome aswell.

[@gothlover4u]

Skinless is still selling merchandise

[@bassNY]

Wow, I remember this place. Seeing that many dudes in a crowd for a death metal show in upstate NY is surreal. Sucks I came into the scene when it was on it's last leg. Where the fuck did everyone go?

[@hotman3366]

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Now wait a minute people, isn't this America that we all live in. So it doesn't matter at all what the fuck kind of metal Skinless is, they fucking rock. So back the fuck off fuckers! Metal will always rein supreme, and so there is no doubt about that. Hell, even rap and hip-hop have been breaching out into the metal genre. Rock on everyone, and be happy about it!

[@Drratburn]

@6Metal6Fanatic6 Hammer Smashed Fist is still one of the greatest metal songs of all time.

[@MetalMetz88]

that intro is very optimistic

[@krackermanbolverk]

Awesome pit!

[@BleedingWalls420]

Vince McMahon in a death metal song. Love it.

[@leothelion877]

aaaahahahaha 0:54 those dudes looked so psyched to see each other

[@marcodx80]

You're fired xD amazing song....

[@Bennybnyhc]

@DiabolusEnGuitar If that's true then it's cuz they both played Saratoga Winners in Latham, NY.... place got burned down in an attempt to collect insurance money a year or 2 back, damn shame too, went to many a great show there!!

R.I.P Skinless 1992-2011. This band would be truly missed.

[@dmguitarist99]

I miss Sherwood bring him back

[@BurianAttila]

Who's the guy doing the vocals? Is that Jason? I never watched a video of him before he joined Origin, and now he has long hair... Anyway, he does a damn fine job, and the crowd is also amazing!

[@bassNY]

@gothlover4u Yeah, I'm aware of that show and will probably be going. I just hope a decent amount of the old school crowd you see in this video comes too.

[@Ozterkvlt]

an official video with only 240p? seriously? altho i get that its uploaded 2007 but cmon

[@QuiikNSiik]

@sum33 Okay, I agree with you there. The first time I saw the comment I didn't realize he spelled it that way.

[@Beholdthesharktopus]

Was that Devin Townsend saying the sample? Serious question, the voice sounds just like him.

[@crueltyuponus]

Vince McMahon

[@catedoge3206]

yuh

[@MetalheadFoLife]

@juggalosticker whoop whoop

[@megadethfan110]

god i wish they didnt break up!

I saw them live they were amazing the vocalist crowd surfed to the back bar and back to the stage lol

[@guillermooviedo2349]

Brutal :)

[@xXxHawkkinsxXx]

nvermind it is just for me.....but i lyk this band :D

[@Pennsylvanian]

Lol when something sounds awful to someone it's automatically Satan music

[@AdamCole28]

no suffocation's cool but skinless is just heavier and more brutal

[@DvR777]

The majority of the people that come here arent from the USA...... but i agree the genre doesnt really matter.

[@rinasremains]

this goes unbelievably fucking hard

[@colsterplay]

@juggalosticker woah we dont need to go back to 3 guys 1 hammer now do we

[@AceBambam]

people barely noticed this awesome band already broke up

[@AdamCole28]

ya dont get me wrong suffocation kicks ass, their both good in their own right, raw and true, I just favor skinless a little more, just my point of view I like blood oath a lot its better than their last few

[@marcusaschenbrenner1875]

ALWAYS LIKED THE SAMPLES AT THE BEGINNINGS EPESICAIALLY IN MERRIE MELODY DOES BLOOD TURN YOU ON I PLAYED THAT LOUD AT 16 AND I BET MY 60 YR ADOPTED MOM WAS LIKE THIS AINT MY MUSIC
