Skin Chamber to be reissued

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Skin Chamber was a 
short-lived 
industrial metal project, led by two members of the legendary 
experimental group 
Controlled Bleeding � Paul Lemos and Chris Moriarty. This oppressive 
music 
creation combined cold, raving electronics with brutal guitar riffs and 
sickening vocals. The duo released two full length albums � 
�Wound� and �Trial� � before 
ultimately 
disbanding in 1993. And today Metal Mind Productions presents an 
exclusive 
two-disc reissue which brings back a truly violent phenomenon in all its

despicable glory�

The project emerged in 1991, after 
Controlled 
Bleeding had left their label WaxTrax!, which caused the group to put 
their 
artistic output on hold. The duo managed to interest Roadrunner Records 
in their 
work and this way, in 1991 they released their official debut album 
called 
�Wound�. This 13-track monstrosity delivered a powerful sonic attack, 
described 
by some as a soundtrack to a cybernetic nightmare. The band totally 
blurred the 
line between the synthetic and organic sounds, placing pounding late 
80�s 
industrial (in the vein of Chemlab for instance) right next to slow, 
metallic 
brutality (think early Celtic Frost). It wasn�t an entirely new idea, as

Godflesh paved this road long ago, but the combined talents of Moriarty 
and 
Lemos made up for an extremely intensive record. With such tracks as the
 upbeat 
�Skin Me� or the creepy, atmospheric �Slice of God� Skin Chamber managed
 to mark 
their name on the industrial map with capital letters. In 1993 the duo 
released 
their second album, entitled �Trial�. Lemos described it as a logical 
continuation of the band�s style: �It just kind of continues where Wound
 left 
off. It's a lot more focused than �Wound� (�) I think the production is a
 lot 
more interesting, and within it are certain structured frameworks; 
there's a lot 
of experimentation going on.� �Trail� was indeed a more diverse 
offering, 
presenting a very focused material filled with all the best qualities of

brutally heavy industrial. The band�s love for sickening electronics was
 best 
heard in the track �Swallowing Scrap Metal  (Part 5)� � a 25-minute 
string 
of uncontrolled noise, depicting all known forms of destruction. Or, as 
the 
reviewers often called it, an �electronic Armageddon�. Paul Lemos was 
very 
thrilled with his project�s output: �I think Skin Chamber is something 
that's 
new, it has no history behind it, there's no big catalogue of obscure 
releases. 
And so it's kind of in a way a fresh start in a whole new orientation 
for us.� 
But in 1993 both Lemos and Moriarty decided that Controlled Bleeding 
should be 
their main focus and the spontaneously created side-project was soon 
shut 
down.

To fans of industrial all over the 
world, Skin 
Chamber was something much more than a mere project. Many scene 
activists point 
to both �Wound� and �Trial� as some the genre�s most overlooked and 
admired 
releases. With this exclusive double re-issue we give you a genuine 
industrial 
phenomenon, proving that metal and electronics can form a truly 
ferocious 
mixture. 

�Wound� and �Tail� will be available 
in a double 
digipak edition limited to 2000 copies. �Wound� includes a bonus track. 
Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process, released on a golden disc. 
The 
release date is scheduled for 2nd August in Europe and 
5th October in USA (via MVD).
