New Skeletal Faces

It’s been 7 years since New Skeletal Faces arrived on our planet and embedded themselves in the seedy outlying corners of the Southern Californian music scene. Formed in 2017, New Skeletal Faces present themselves as a cosmic abomination that tote the genre lines between all manners of darkness in music. With an aesthetic as sketchy as their sound, NSF cast the black light onto the long dormant corpse of Deathrock, shattering the mirror of modern Heavy Metal into fragments that reflect back a fresh new take on a sound that time was never told to forget. It’s been with us all along, this darkness… the world can now pretend it always knew.

Their Peaceville debut, Until The Night, further pushes towards the darkest crevices imaginable. Recorded in the shadowy recesses of Hollywood, California, Until The Night was tracked, mixed, and mastered by legendary producer/engineer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, Wasp, DRI) and has a sound authentic to dark periods of the past bringing you 7 new haunted tracks as well as a reimagined take on Bathory’s “Raise The Dead”. Of recording Until The Night, Bill said “It was a pleasure working with New Skeletal Faces. A band who not only chose to NOT follow recent songwriting trends of so many other newer metal bands seem to do nowadays, but also the trends in the SOUND of their record. They prefer to sound more old school metal than like most newer metal bands seem to lean towards as of late.”

Until The Night expands upon their 2019 debut album, Celestial Disease, which showcases their deformed interpretation of what Goth, Deathrock and Metal could have been had such a marriage ever been consecrated.  While mostly relegated to the West Coast of the United States. Their live shows have been the main source of light that attracts all the human insects who come in contact. Their live performance showcases their wild and untamed personalities and tend to be infectious, finding the band gaining more and more steam with each transmission.

New Skeletal Faces are like listening to the 1980s Sunset Strip in an alternate universe from hell. In November 2024 experience Until The Night and witness for yourselves the re-genesis of Southern Californian Metal and Deathrock!
