US death metal formation Skinless never managed to rise to the upper echelon of the genre despite lengthy worldwide touring, hard work and consistent recorded outputs. “Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead” is another solid effort from the band, which pretty much fits in with their other Relapse issued titles. “Trample the Weak” sees the return of original drummer Bob Beaulac and Jason Keyser - brother of bassist Joe Keyser - has replaced departed long-time vocalist/frontman Sherwood Webber. Keyser has a mean set of vocal chords and the transition in the vocal department won’t cause any consternation for long-time Skinless devotees. Where 2003’s “From Sacrifice to Survival” was a bit experimental, this album is a solid return to the band’s formative sound including the hilarious samples that made their 2001 debut “Foreshadowing Our Demise” so great. There’s no shortage of Noah Carpenter’s signature riffs and Skinless hasn’t made any concessions. This album sees the unit perfecting their well-known in-your-face, no-holds-barred, groove-laden death metal sound. If you liked the band’s previous albums, you’ll enjoy this without further ado. They might not be the most original band in the scene today, but Skinless remain solid and consistent in delivery, execution and style, which is something that must be applauded as well.
