Skinlab Post New Song

A brand new Skinlab track, entitled "The Face of Aggression", has been posted on the band's MySpace page.

Commented bassist/vocalist Steev Esquivel: "Surprise surprise. Thought we'd share a new song with you. Just a little fun we're having down at the studio. This is one of the first [new] songs we started working on. Snake [guitar] put up a few mics, and we threw down.....Straght-up raw sounding...enjoy!"

Commented Esquivel: "We're fuckin' stoked to get back on stage again. Everyone is getting nervous/excited to do this again. Should be a killer time. The response we're getting for this tour has been great. If all goes well, hopefully we'll be able to get back out and hit the places we won't be playing this time around. This will actually be the first time we've ever toured without a label [Skinlab recently parted ways with longtime record company Century Media] and the support from the 'big machine.' Kinda scary, but it feels pretty good. We're not takin any shortcuts. For the first time we're steppin up and bringing out full production. I don't care if we play your damn living room, this time around when you come to see Skinlab it's gonna be a fuckin metal show to remember. We're on fire right now and ready to fuck some shit up!!"

As previously reported, Skinlab is working on its first-ever DVD, tentatively due before the end of the year.
