Reunited n\u00fc-metal outfit Skrape have provided an outline for their plans going forward. The band, who were last active in 2004, announced their return<\/a> this past February. Given that at least one member of the group, drummer Will Hunt, went on to find fame with Evanescence and more, Skrape\u2018s return raised questions as to who was participating.<\/p>\n

Per this newly issued statement made today, March 08th, vocalist Billy Keeton is leading the charge. Hunt and Keeton originally co-founded the group. Plans for both new music and touring are underway, though for now, the rest of lineup remains under wraps.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginal Vocalist Billy Keeton Announces a New Era of SKRAPE<\/p>\n

After more than two decades, SKRAPE is officially entering a new frontier.<\/p>\n

Original vocalist Billy Keeton has introduced a powerful new lineup and a renewed creative vision for the next era of SKRAPE. Known for their explosive blend of heavy groove, melodic aggression, and raw intensity, SKRAPE first rose to prominence in the early 2000s with the release of their RCA Records debut New Killer America and the follow-up album Up the Dose.<\/p>\n

During the band\u2019s original run, SKRAPE toured nationally alongside some of the most influential heavy acts of the era, including Pantera, Slayer, Static-X, and Disturbed. Their single \u201cWaste\u201d climbed the Billboard charts, helping cement the band as one of the emerging forces in heavy music at the time.<\/p>\n

Now, with a new lineup behind him and a renewed creative drive, Keeton is bringing SKRAPE back with a focus firmly set on the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cSKRAPE has always been about energy, intensity, and connection with the fans,\u201d says Keeton. \u201cThis isn\u2019t about looking backward \u2014 it\u2019s about building something powerful moving forward. We\u2019re writing new music, and the goal is to take this band into the next chapter the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upcoming phase of SKRAPE will focus on new music, new performances, and a revitalized sound that honors the band\u2019s legacy while pushing forward creatively.<\/p>\n

Fans can expect new material to be released in the near future, along with live performances as the band prepares to reintroduce SKRAPE to audiences both old and new.<\/p>\n

This new chapter is a major moment for longtime fans who remember SKRAPE\u2019s early impact, while introducing a new generation to the band\u2019s unmistakable intensity.<\/p>\n

Further announcements regarding new music, tour dates, and lineup details will be revealed soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reunited n\u00fc-metal outfit Skrape have provided an outline for their plans going forward.
