Skatenigs
Genres: Texas Industrial, Punk, Industrial Metal
Skatenigs are pioneers of the Texas industrial movement—fusing punk attitude, heavy guitars, and electronic grit. Known for their high-octane performances and underground legacy, they’ve shared stages with Ministry, collaborated with Al Jourgensen, and carved a niche that’s raw, loud, and proudly anti-polished.
Their sound blends the sonic weight of industrial metal with the chaos of punk, filtered through a uniquely Southern lens. If Preachers are the sermon, Skatenigs are the riot that breaks out after.
Highlights:
- Signed to Cleopatra Records
- Produced and mentored by Al Jourgensen (Ministry)
- Known for cult classics like “Chemical Imbalance” and “Loudspeaker”
- Longtime staples of the Texas and national underground scenes
