Trailblazing rockers Skindred came together in 1998 to make a new type of music: ragga metal--a characteristically orginal blend of reggae, metal and rock that Skindred has been turning it out for over a decade. The band's musical creation slowly gained speed during the its early years, as Skinred toured with artists such as Sepultra and Korn. Shortly, the group was able to release its debut album, Babylon, which rocketed to the top of the reggae charts. The band has built an incredibly devoted base of fans, as it plays major festivals and shows all over the world, spreading the sound of raggae metal.
