10 Best Live Acts In Metal Today
3. Skindred
Coming from Newport, Wales, Skindred and their unique blend of reggae, drum & bass, and metal have been keeping nu metal alive for nearly a decade. Able to switch seamlessly between the three musical styles, the band have built a reputation as a must-see live act.
Frontman Benji Webb oozes charisma, and his vocal range is something to behold, with an excellent singing voice, a heavy scream, and a funky reggae style.
During their live show, the band delivers some of the heaviest riffs in metal, with some of the most unorthodox and entertaining mixing that would put even the biggest drum & bass act to shame.
But the jewel in their live-show crown is the inclusion of the Newport helicopter, which, especially with large festival crowds, is a surreal and uplifting sight.
