SKID ROW Subhuman Race LP Vinyl (Re-issue)

By 1995, the hair metal era was on life support and most of its survivors were either chasing grunge or quietly disappearing. Skid Row did neither. Subhuman Race was the sound of a band getting heavier, angrier, and considerably less interested in your approval.

Where the debut had Sebastian Bach screaming over radio-ready hooks, Subhuman Race leaned into a darker, more industrial-influenced groove, nodding toward the post-Vulgar Display heaviness that was reshaping metal at the time. Tracks like "Bonehead" and "Beat Yourself Blind" hit like something that had been fermenting in a very bad mood for a long time. It tanked commercially. It aged brilliantly. Classic trajectory for a record worth owning on wax.

Originally released 1995. Heavy metal, hard rock, with a serious glam-metal chip on its shoulder. Artist origin: USA.
