Metal Matters Podcast #12: Skin Yard's "Hallowed Ground"

Details

Description

Gimme Radio is proud to present another episode of our Metal Matters podcast, this time featuring an in-depth look of Skin Yard's Hallowed Ground.

When you think of the “Seattle Grunge” scene from the early 90’s, you think of the usual suspects: Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and maybe Alice in Chains. The term grunge was a term coined by generally unimaginative press people and so-called pundits. In the early days, it was just a collection of guys playing in bands that dug classic rock, punk and heavy metal and the weird stew they concocted became known as grunge.

One of the unsung heroes of this was Skin Yard, a band that influenced and even shared members with many of above-mentioned bands. Formed by produced Jack Endino, C/Z Records main man Daniel House and vocalist Ben McMillan in 1985, it is our opinion that they provided the template for what the dreary Seattle sound would become.

We’re going to talk about Hallowed Ground, which is largely considered their crowning achievement.

Intro: “In the Blackhouse”
Outro: “Wither”
Host: Mike Hill of Tombs
