African metallists Skinflint return on October 25, 2024 with their latest album, ‘Baloi,’ which will be immediately supported by almost a month’s worth of live dates in the US – when the trio tours with Soulfly.
Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Giuseppe Sbrana, bassist Kebonye Nkoloso, and drummer Cosmos Modisaemang, Skinflint’s latest album is their seventh release overall (and issued via Into Records).
"Baloi is the rawest and most aggressive album we have done," explains the group's long-time leader, Giuseppe Sbrana. "We recorded it in as few takes as possible. This was done intentionally as we wanted to capture the spirit of the band, in its most natural way as possible. This is who we are, without any masks, in our rawest form and without inhibitions. 'Baloi' is glorious in its imperfection."

![The Legendary US Hard Rockers Silk Helvetika Is Back - An Interview With Michael Myers
#SilkHelvetika #hardrock #usa
One of the heaviest bands to emerge from the Philadelphia rock scene is Slik Helvetika. From the glory days of the Philadelphia and New Jersey rock scene of the 80s that spawned Cinderella, Britny Fox, Pretty Poison, John Eddie, and an entire laundry list of artists who went forward to be stars, there was a band called Destroyer. Led by Michael Myers, the band had unknowingly sidestepped all the woes and pressures of being “that commodity” and unwanted influences. Taking some time to let the songs and playing develop to be the best it could resulted in that band today called Slik Helvetika. Lots of driving energy, melody, memorable chorus hooks, great playing and strong lyrics.
The line up has always featured Michael Myers on lead guitar and vocals – who has had the privilege of playing alongside a variety of talented musicians, such as Kjell Benner [formerly of Quiet Riot] and Vern Parsons [Greg Howe]. The newest full release, Walk Through Fire, which drops through Deko Entertainment on February 20th, kicks off with the first single that was released in December Solar Head. Which, begins with an unsettling actual recording of solar wind, then erupts into full ass kicking mode.
