Fire Occurs During Skinlab Recording

SKINLAB bassist/vocalist Steev Esquivel checks in with the following studio update:

"Just got back from Day 2 of recording.

Things got off to a crazy start today... just as we were about to start tracking Snake's guitar cab caught on fire, almost burning down the house!!

Fuckin' crazy, we we're just kickin back about to start tracking, when Snake leaped up screaming 'fire, fire'!! Luckily we had some freshly bought Startbucks on hand to throw on the cab, just enough to grab it and carry it out before catching everything else on fire.

Crazy start, we all got a pretty good laugh at after the smoke cleared!!

After changing cabs and setting mic positions, thugs got back on track. Snake was able to complete his tracks for 'Face Of Aggression', getting super heavy tones that sounds amazing!! We decided to take a break continuing tomarrow to finish up guitar tracks and start getting bass tones.

Things are coming along great, this is sure to be the best sounding Skinlab recording yet. We're fuckin' stoked to get these new songs out, it's been a long time coming.

More updates soon."

Skinlab's new album is out later this year via Crash Music.

As previously reported, Century Media will be re-releasing the group's first album Bound, Gagged And Blindfolded, on October 2nd. The repackaged disc will feature never before seen video footage and pictures with liner notes from founding members Steev Esquivel and Mike Roberts along with new artwork and layout.
