Skinlab have announced the return of guitarist Steve “Snake” Green to their lineup. Frontman/bassist Steev Esquivel commented:
“We are very excited to announce that our brother Snake has returned home and has rejoined Skinlab for the Brothers in Blood Tour. Our boy has slithered right back into our lives, and we embrace him with open arms. Snake has always been a huge part of Skinlab, making his debut on the EYESORE EP back in 1998. That fan-favorite has become a collector’s item, and Snake’s blood and spirit has been a constant fixture through every release we’ve done since. We couldn’t be happier to have him back for this tour.”
“The last week has been an amazing experience that started off with handshakes, hugs and tears. The mood quickly turned into a massive wall of heaviness, however, when we began rehearsing a setlist of a dozen-plus songs, each met with smiles and nods of approval. To us it’s obvious that this machine is back in-action and ready for war! We are very excited to jump back on the road!”
Green commented:
“It all comes down to LOVE… LOVE for these two dudes, Steev & Paul, with whom I have shared so much time with. LOVE for the powerful music we have made, LOVE for the fans of Skinlab, and ultimately, the LOVE for LIFE around every corner we turn. We’re older, wiser, and share a mutual passion for what we’ve created together. As for the future, we’ll enter the studio and take things day by day, waiting to see what fate the metal Gods will bring forth. Enjoy the moment!”
Green will still remain a member of The Devil In California as well. His reunion with the band follows the recent return of guitarist Marcos Medina (also of Invidia). Skinlab have a fifth studio album in the works and will soon be out on this tour with Pissing Razors and Shattered Sun. In addition to that run, the band have announced the following shows:
02/07 Fullerton, CA – The Slidebar (feat. Media Solution & Core 10)
02/10 Crockett, CA – Toot’s Tavern (feat. The Ghost Next Door, Monster God & The Devil In California)
