Skelator
Skelator hails from Seattle by way of San Diego, having
formed in SD in 1998 and later regrouping to the Pacific Northwest
in 2006.
Their earlier days were focused on a
Slayer-esque
thrash style, as heard on
Give Me Metal Or Give Me Death
(a 2008 re-release of an earlier demo), but over time they've adopted
a more speed/power metal direction.
Having slogged their way through several albums in the 2000's,
they seemed to have broken through with 2019's
Cyber Metal.
The 80's speed/trad metal influences, mixed with a bit of
Manowar
brashness lyrically, are in full force, with vocalist
Jason Conde-Houston high-pitched style being compared to several
well-known vocalists
(the soundalike to these ears is
Agent Steel's
Jon Cyriis).
The songs are crisp, tight, catchy, and well-composed.
Perhaps they're finally on the way to bigger things.
