SKØV is a Polish punk metal band from Wrocław, formed in 2017. Someone said that we play like razors, jump like kangaroos and we are murderous, precise whelps who play with fucking anger.
Band have just released video to the new song ‘Above The Earth’.
This track was recorded at Nebula Studio (The Materia, Gorycz, Tides From Nebula) in Warsaw (PL) and mixed&mastered by Mateusz Bajan.
Band commentary: ‘The song was inspired by a scandal from a few years ago regarding the discovery of mass graves of children of indigenous people in Canada. Ultimately, we used this theme as a symbol of the many harms that the institution of the church has done to local cultures around the world, taking their identities and destroying their original systems of beliefs and values. The track is the first in a series of singles we plan to release in the coming months.’

Sharing the concept of ‘Devastating Outcomes‘, TJ White – the man behind PHELIXX LAKE – adds: ‘This is the first track I’m releasing, or depending on when you’re reading this, have released it with another vocalist. It was amazing working with Joel from Dream Demon. I feel like it brought the song up a notch and really makes me excited for features in the future, because that’s one of the biggest themes of PHELIXX LAKE. I started PL to collaborate with artists from around the world. Excited that I’ve already been able to collaborate with a musician from South Africa!‘
