Band resurfaces online, teasing 25th anniversary of debut album – Metal Insider
It seems like the nu metal scene has been experiencing a wave of reemergence lately, with Skrape being one of the latest bands to resurface unexpectedly. Known for their infamous infected toenail album artwork on their 2001 debut album “New Killer America,” Skrape has been off the radar for over twenty years. Songs like “What You Say” and “Waste” may bring back memories for some fans, while others might still remember the cringe-worthy album cover that defined their early days.
After releasing their second album, “Up the Dose,” in 2004, the band vanished into obscurity, with members branching out into different projects such as Evanescence, Dark New Day, and Audiotopsy. Now, out of nowhere, Skrape has made a digital comeback, sparking speculation among fans about what this return could entail. Could it be new music, remixes of their old tracks, or simply a nostalgic trip down memory lane?
The band has re-established their online presence through new Instagram and Facebook accounts, as well as a fresh website, dropping subtle hints about their renewed activity. While details are still scarce at the moment, the mere fact that Skrape is back online has piqued the interest of many fans who are eager to see what the future holds for the band. And true to their style, their most recent post features the infamous infected toenail, suggesting that something big is on the horizon, possibly in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their debut album.
With the band back in the spotlight, it’s natural to wonder what lies ahead for Skrape. Will they surprise us with new music that captures the essence of their early sound, or will they take a different creative direction this time around? Only time will tell, but for now, fans can revel in the anticipation of what promises to be an exciting chapter in the band’s history. Here’s to the return of Skrape and the legacy of that iconic infected toenail album cover – a symbol of a bygone era in nu metal history.
