Metal vocalist Norman Skinner (Hellscream, Niviane, ex-Imagika) has announced his global search for musicians to join the new Skinner lineup.

With 12 studio albums, countless shows, and tours under his belt, San Francisco Bay Area metal veteran Norman Skinner has made a name for himself as a force to be reckoned with in the metal world. Dubbed the “Metal Chameleon” by members of the press, Norman possesses a very wide range and utilizes it in a unique style to effortlessly switch between the beautiful and the brutal.

Skinner was formed from the fallout of the now defunct American power/thrash band Imagika in late 2010. After four very successful albums with Imagika, Norman parted ways with the group and went on to construct a new band using his namesake, Skinner.

Signed to Dead Inside Records in 2014 Skinner released their full length album Sleepwalkers to fans worldwide. The album was an instant hit and garnered the band a great deal of attention. The band released two videos for their songs “Sleepwalkers” and “Orphans of Liberty” that can be viewed below. Unfortunately just as momentum was on the rise for Skinner, 2015 would mark the end of the first chapter for this power/thrash band as many of the members parted ways due to life changes and to pursue other musical endeavours.

Norman Skinner comments: Unfortunately keeping a solid lineup together is never an easy task and member changes are an all too common occurrence these days. Life changes… people change and priorities change. All you can do is roll with the punches and come back stronger than ever. To do just that I realized I could no longer rely on the small talent network in my local area. There are so many incredible musicians in this world and I want to find the right guys to create our next phenomenal release.”
