I had the pleasure to work with @bigazull as the cinematographer and editor, such a talented young man. We had the honor to have @coledahill acting again in this one (he\u2019s the skeleton in our BLOOD AND CROWS video). And @sam_epstein91 making his camera debut as an Oscar-winning actor. Thank you all. We had so much fun. Hope you all like it. -J.

Ferron who is the frontman, writer, bassist, mixer, and lead singer for the duo, and Sam Epstein on drums. With additional mixing and recording from collaborators Roberto de la Pe\u00f1a and 11 times Grammy nominee, Mauricio Garza, Skull Riot is a minimalist operation that functions at the highest level.

Feels so wrong, same old song, on and on, all night long\u2026\u201d take us through the journey of a lost soul and showcase Ferron\u2019s intelligent songwriting skills. Coupled with slamming drums and powerful bass guitar riffs, Skull Riot showcases talented musicianship with only two main instruments at the forefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With influences ranging from Royal Blood, Queens of The Stone Age, Priestess, Megadeth, Pantera, Mastodon, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Velvet Revolver, to Nirvana and The Sword, Skull Riot combines heavy metal with grunge rock to bring a new style to heavy metal and rock music that excites fans across the nation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy Metal Duo Plans to Release Five More Singles and an EP by The End of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSame Old\u201d will be followed by a video release on May 13th, a new single \u201cChasing Lights\u201d on May 24 and a video release on June 3rd, and an EP release with three singles and one more new song, \u201cRunning Away\u201d, this July.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Check out the recent release: Music <\/em>video for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LsMPrwoTAlI?si=D6kjN_TR4PJK_zBC\">Blood and Crows<\/a>\u201d released on April 12th<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catch Skull Riot on tour on <a href=\"https:\/\/allevents.in\/universal%20city\/200026480844106\">May 25th at Universal Bar and Grill in Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About J.
