THE BEAST

Powerhouse metal vocalist Norman Skinner aka "The Metal Chameleon" has released his end of every year music update.

NIVIANE

Starting off with Niviane… we released our sophomore album “The Ruthless Divine” at the tail end of 2020 and unfortunately due to Covid restrictions were unable to perform live and properly support the release until Summer 2021 when joined the mighty Soulfly for most of their North American Tour. The tour was awesome and we made a lot of new friends & fans! The remainder of the year we used the downtime to write and demo 11 new tracks for our currently untitled album #3.

So here is what you have to look forward to in 2022... Niviane are in the planning & logistics stage for a new music video and single. This will be the last piece of promotion for “The Ruthless Divine” album before the band is back in the recording studio end of February to begin tracking our next monster of an album! We have some awesome new merch in the works as well so stay tuned and thank you to our Legions for your continued support. A lot of awesomeness is on the way in 2022!

SKINNER

After nearly 6 years in the works and always taking a backseat to all my other projects the 2nd full length Skinner album “The Dark Design” will see the light of day! This year was a year of tracking for all the awesome musicians I am working with on this album. The new album will contain 12 brand new studio tracks plus the bonus track “Seven Angels” which was released as a stand-alone single earlier this month. The last bits of orchestration are being completed this week and January will see me officially tracking vocals for “The Dark Design”.

Fans can expect no less than 2-3 singles and videos and even the possibility of some one-off solo shows potentially.

NORMAN SKINNER’S ELEMANTIS

For those that have been following my music endeavors closely the name Elemantis shouldn’t be new to you. This recording project is my 1st concept album containing 22 tracks and a ton of guest musicians and singers. All but 3 songs have now been written and I am still waiting for those last 3 to be finalized before I schedule drum tracking. My plan is to be in full recording by the end of 2022. I am hoping this will be something very special. Stay tuned…
