Skeleton Of God

In 1990 Jeff Kahn met Erik Stenflo in Boulder Colorado and formed their first musical collaboration, Hideous Corpse. The pair quickly established a close partnership as song writers, delving into their shared taste for the brutality and the freedom of Grindcore and Death Metal. They shared a rare musical chemistry, and soon ignited a new vision of metal with a peculiarly psychedelic strain in the mix. In an inimitably ironic way they were trying to create music both based upon and avoiding their common influences. The developing palette of the young band soon outgrew the limited subtlety of the name Hideous Corpse and something more complex and original was to be in order. They found that the moniker Skeleton of God (conveniently appropriated from Jeff’s one man noise project) fit the bill nicely. Skeleton of God performed for diverse audiences. Whether playing with Carcass one week or punk and rock bands the next, crowds responded enthusiastically to their new brand of metal. Their uncontrived and unique sound, combined with their odd aesthetic and weird personalities, all added up to music even those not into harsh metal wanted to experience. During this time only one 4-song CD entitled “Urine Garden” was released. The result of this important reunion is the new release “Primordial Dominion”. With Jeff and Erik’s alliance intact, they recruited Joel DiPietro once again, as a remote member crushing on blower bass. The long awaited recording is Skeleton of God’s first new release in 15 years.
