Skin Against Metal

An experimental/percussion-based ensemble whose music blends world, Afro-Cuban rhythms, ambient elements, and improvisational soundscapes . The group is led by composers and instrumentalists (including a pianist, bassist and percussionist) who focus on dynamic rhythmic interplay, evocative textures, and collaborative performance pieces, sometimes described in connection with Afro-Cuban percussion traditions and experimental sound art.
In other words, their style is better characterized as experimental rhythm-driven/world/ambient performance music rather than a conventional genre like rock or metal.
