Pookout Records – 16 Aug 2024
Metal and ska actually go hand-in-hand quite easily. One basically oozes evil, merging the most killer, technical, and yet frightening sounds known to humankind along with a public persona that makes parents shuffle their kids to edge of the sidewalk; and the other has hairy people playing solos on their guitars.
Enter the newest album of ska and ska-hyphenated bands covering their favorite metal classics. Dissidente (Sepultura), Roshambo (RATM), Voodoo Glow Skulls (Slayer) and more can be found on this eleven-song comp.

He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
