[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Widely celebrated]] Welsh GenreMashup band known for fusing, as they state in one of their songs, {{Reggae}}, HeavyMetal, PunkRock and HipHop. Specifically, the reggae influence comes from [[FaceOfTheBand Benji Webbe]], who combines dancehall-style Ragga singing/rapping with Metal [[HarshVocals shouts and growls]]. Sometimes compared to Music/BadBrains and Music/SystemOfADown, Skindred has been the subject of much appraisal for their unique sound and mostly lighthearted lyrics. They're even popular among {{Metalhead}}s, who normally dismiss any musical fusion that has [[RapMetal Metal and Rap]], wary of any connection to NuMetal. (Benji jokes that they're "Nu Reggae" instead).

Skindred were formed in 1998, in the wake of the collapse of Benji's old band, Dub War, which had a similar reggae/metal fusion. After unsuccessful stints on major labels, during which two different versions of the band's debut, ''Babylon'' were released, they finally signed to the Florida independent label, Bieler Bros., and released six more albums, ''Roots Rock Riot'', ''Shark Bites and Dog Fights'', ''Union Black'', ''Kill The Power'', ''Volume'' and ''Big Tings''.
