Album Review: Skindred - Kill The Power

These four Welsh lads have been unleashing an irresistible mash-up of alternative metal reggae since the turn of the century. Frontman Benji Webbe has led his merry men along an impressive catalogue of stand-out releases, bookended by debut Babylon and their fourth LP Union Black. So Kill The Power arrives with certain expectations, but it more than exceeds them. The opening title track is one of the best on offer, fusing trademark swagger from Webbe with crunchy metal chugs, settling into a more steadfast punk in Worlds On Fire and the ballad-like We Live.
