Industrial Powerviolence Duo, Genocide Skin, Announce Debut Album

Industrial Powerviolence duo, Genocide Skin, announced the release of their debut full-length album, Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. The band has released two tracks from the album for download and streaming through their Bandcamp page.

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome was recorded with Zack Ohren at Sharkbite Studio in Oakland, was mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound. The album features artwork by Tom Denney.

In conjunction with the record release, the Oakland-based outfit, comprised of drummer Peژ Mon (Secret Chiefs 3, Ghoul, and Girth ), and vocalist / guitarist Rudy Pina (Cyanic), have embarked on a West Coast tour, which kicked off in September in Reno, NV.

“The tour started in Reno, of course, because that’s obviously the luckiest and most auspicious place to embark on anything serious,” jests Genocide Skin drummer Peژ Mon.

“So far, we’ve shared the stage with other exciting bands from the West Coast, including Crematorium, Thanatology, Modern Man, Thunderhead, Cave Bastard, Hungers, and many more. We have weekend shows [booked] to cover many cities we may have missed, and [in total] we have about 25 shows booked over the course of two months.”

Genocide Skin began jamming together about three years ago, exploring multiple genres, ranging from Industrial Metal to Powerviolence and Grindcore. The group settled in as a two-piece with the aim to “connect with people and experience the intensity of life through music.”

“Our mission with Genocide Skin is to be completely ourselves,” Peژ Mon said. “We have a drive to hear and experience music in new ways...Through music, we can expand ourselves and the possibility of life.”
