Skinner is a San Francisco, USA Thrash band that incorporates Power Metal elements. This 3-guitar outfit was formed by vocalist Norman Skinner after the breakup of Imagika, a group that featured similar music stylistically and released a baker’s half dozen albums during their career. Skinner vacillates throughout Sleepwalkers’ 11 tracks between Thrash (the growling type) and rough Power Metal; an approach that is both interesting at times, and hard to follow at others. Norman Skinner’s vocals are not impressive under either veil, and the production quality is subpar, but thankfully the guitar work saves Sleepwalkers from being a total nightmare.

Dan is a former partner at Metal Express Radio, and also served as a reviewer, photographer and interviewer on occasions. Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
