Artist History The SKULLCAP story...The saga of SKULLCAP begins in early 2000. The band was known at that time as HATESTRUCK, a 4 piece death metal outfit. This incarnation lasted til the beginning of 2001, when the drummer abruptly left the group. Everyone went their seperate ways for a few months after that. The band soon reformed with a new drummer under the name SKULLCAP, with a decision being made to place the full on death on the back burner and concentrate more on the groove of the new songs. This version of the band enjoyed much success in the local area, but trouble was waiting in the wings. In the fall of 2001, after returning from a gig, the two founding guitarists and drummer dropped the bomb that they were quitting the band, leaving bassist Steve Nall and vocalist Larry "Supervillian" Hunter to carry on. The reasons behind this split are still shrouded in mystery... The band then began a revolving door of guitarists and drummers and still the search for new final members went unfullfilled until the summer of 2002 when everything finally came together. With the addition of Pat Gibson filling the guitarist position and Roger Ramos taking over on drums. In the fall of 2002, the band began to write new material and out of that has come the beginnings of a new era of SKULLCAP...

Press Reviews I have two words for Skullcaps' music .... metal attack. With heavy riffs, vocal assault and striking drum rolls, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Skullcap rocks! Musically, they vigorously beat on you until you say uncle. I loved every minute of it! The two songs that caught my attention were "Forget Me Not" and "Inside". ---Kelly Buckner Nefarious Entertainment Magazine Issue #31, June 2nd,2002 ********** “This Band is all balls and no wimp's. It's heavy, intense and in your face. The track "LUNGWORMS" is nothing but what I just said. It starts off with some cool guitar lick that kicks off the mood for the song. With the fast paced racing guitars to the ever changing time. This band has got another level of expertise that most bands don't care to try. Integrating wild time changes and key choices with demonic overtones and growling vocals.” In all this band has good taste in their music style. With the start of the second song "INSIDE" they let you know they are not giving up yet. The feelings in this tune have you up and down on an emotional hayride. It' seems as though they have captured the ever most grasp on getting the people into their music. Review of "Lungworms" & "Inside" by the Xkoremaster of Xtremekore (Xkore.da.ru)********
