New York grindcore merchants Skinless were formed in 1992 by vocalist Sherwood Webber and guitarist Noah Carpenter. Undergoing countless line-up changes early on, the band finally stabilized with the arrival of ba**ist Joe Keyser and drummer Bobby Dulac prior to recording 1998's independently released Progressions Towards Evil debut. The album scored high marks with both fans and critics, and constant touring behind acts like Mortician and Incantation led to a deal with Relapse Records, for whom they recorded their second opus, Foreshadowing our Demise in 2001. By then, the band had begun adding discreet melodies and varied rhythms to their once furiously full-speed a**ault, and 2003's much improved From Sacrifice to Survival (featuring Origin drummer John Longstreth temporarily stepping in for the sessions while Dulac tied the knot) took this evolution even further. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
