SKAM Fade Out

After hitting the UK rock chart at number 6 with their recent EP Intra, powerhouse UK hard rock trio SKAM keep the pedal down by releasing their second single and video 'Fade Out' from their impending second EP Venous, which is now available for pre-sale/pre-order and will be released on October 1st.

'Fade Out' is the follow up to recent single 'Circles', and is out now through X-Ray Records on all digital platforms.

'Fade Out' is a sh*t kicking power groove of defiance against politicians and those in power. The lies and deceit of those at the top is always felt by the working class and we wanted to call them out. This year in particular we have all felt the effects of poor leadership. Although the song isn't about any leaders in particular, it is a feeling mirrored in the thoughts of many. Play it loud and proud and raise a middle finger to oppression! – SKAM

The vision was to release 2 separate EPs rather than a full studio album. This approach means the band were able to spread out their releases over a year rather that in one hit. Venous is the second part of a 2 EP collection and completes this vision that the band had. 

Steve from SKAM had this to say: "We are totally excited for people to get their ears around Venous. Knowing we had a second release penned for this year, we decided to hold back some killer tracks. Lyrically, the songs follow the same theme of human conditions and experiences. We have really tried to push the envelope of the SKAM sound on this one and there is something there for fans both old and new. You will hear hard hitting bangers typical of the sound SKAM are famous for, but also some curve balls in the form of a power ballad and a 90s style grunge track!"

The record closes with 'The Cure', which is a dedication to Steve and Neal's mum, who sadly passed away from cancer last October.
