Album Description
Available in:
"Volume" is the sixth studio album from British rock band Skindred. It was released on 30 October 2015 on the Napalm Records label.
User Album Review
Their latest album offering titled Volume is somewhat aptly named given the varying decibel levels contained within. Opening track “Under Attack” makes full use of Dan Sturgess’s electronic synth genius and you can’t help but hear the elements of “Warning” from the bands Union Black album, which is almost always the closing song of a Skindred gig (accompanied by the infamous “Newport Helicopter” a sight which has to be seen to be believed). Keeping the opening energy flowing is title track “Volume” an easy contender for best song on the album. It contains a simmering breakdown in the middle which I can easily imagine Benji using to full effect, creating moshpit mayhem on the band’s upcoming UK Tour.
If Skindred wanted to end the album on a high note then they have succeeded in the form of “Three Words”. Whilst it may not be as explosive of a finale as hardcore fans were wanting or expecting, I personally found the heartfelt sentiment at the core of the song to be deeply uplifting. The three words the song refers to are “Life’s Worth Living”. Any piece of music that promotes a big message of positivity in the world we live in now is a big winner in my book.
To summarise, Volume may not be Skindred’s finest album, I’m a much bigger fan of the more aggressive material that was on their debut album release Babylon. That said, I have no doubts that performed live, the songs from the new album will go down a treat with fans old and new, when injected with the kind of random craziness that you’ll only ever see at the Skindred show. Because of this I shall give Volume a respectable rating of 7/10.
