After a few years playing together, the former members of the band Siegrid Ingrid: Evandro Junior – Drums, André Gubber – Guitar, Sérgio Hernandes – Guitar and Luiz Berenguer – Bass, joined “Scream” – Vocals, to perform a new project, SKINLEPSY.
The idea of continuing the work that was done previously was preserved and the new compositions, expressing heavy and aggressiveness of Thrash and Extreme Metal, evident characteristics during the passage of the musicians by other bands: Evandro Jr. (Anthrares), Gubber (Skullkrusher, Nervochaos), Luiz Berenguer (Opera), Sergio (Brutal, Elma) and Scream (Stun).
In April 2003, began the rehearsals for the recording of the first demo CD, “Reign of Chaos”, which occurred in June that same year at Mr. Som Studio, and featured the production of Heros Trench (Korzus).
The songs “Crucial Words”, “Alienation” and “Crawling as a Worm”, showed clearly the proposal of a new band, which featured interplay, musical experience and new ideas, but without losing the main musical direction: Metal playing without following a single strand, a single style.
This work received a great response from the specialized media, and somehow, generated great expectations regarding the recording of the first album.
However, after only a year, each musician followed its path in their respective bands.
In 2011, the experienced musicians André Gubber, Evandro Junior and Luiz Berenguer resumed SKINLEPSY with a sonority focused on Brutal Thrash Metal.
As result, arises the band’s first album, entitled “Condemning the Empty Souls”.
Aggressiveness, insane lyrics, consistency and brutality define this album, which is the result of an arduous process of writing, recording and production, which occurred during the second half of 2012.
