Band Information

Skintilla is an Adelaide band whose first release featured some heavy power metal with something of a groove. The second album has a heavier, modern thrash vibe that draws from the likes of Pantera and Machine Head. After the release of Kranker the band changed dramatically until only Burgess was left with Skintilla again heading into a power/traditional metal direction, albeit more convincingly than on the first EP. Benyk went on to join Diatribe.

Skintilla appeared at Metal for the Brain in 2005. In late 2007 Jason Beveridge and Peter Stewart left the band. Benyk returned and Jaryd Dorey joined on drums in early 2008.
