comment
Skelteria is a Metal band from Dallas, TX. Although it is obscure, it became somewhat viral in Europe thanks to a couple of webzines and it's video for "Dying Naked" being featured on failblog.org. The band split up on December 2, 2018 after 10 years of activity. However, they reunited in March 2019.Discography: 12/15/09 (demo) - 2009 The Nightmare Begins - 2011 Just For the Hell of It (EP) - 2012 Skelteria - 2012 Finally Live - 2013 Damned and Loving It - 2016 The Best of Skelteria (compilation) - 2018 Coven of the Absurd - 2023

"Free Candy For All!!!" is the only recorded Skelteria song to feature a guest performance: a NOOOOOOO!!!! growl courtesy of Chase Paranormal from The Sever Display.

Miniscule Rocking: Many of Skelteria's songs are less than 3 minutes long. However, later releases see them indulging more in Epic Rocking.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Skelteria (Music) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The 12/15/09 demo as listed: The drumming is 90% double-bass drumming with no tom-toms or crash-cymbals. Cotner's vocals sound like hardcore tough-guy-growling rather than the thrashy yelling-style that fans are familiar with. Cotner did not perform the guitar solos and instead downloaded generic solos and Dime-squeals by anonymous players. There are no bass lines. "Free Candy For All!!!" is the only recorded Skelteria song to feature a guest performance: a NOOOOOOO!!!! growl courtesy of Chase Paranormal from The Sever Display.

Sampling: "Taco Supreme" samples the beginning of the Beavis and Butt-Head episode "No Laughing." Later versions add another Beavis and Butt-Head clip to the song. "Funeral For a Dream" samples Beetlejuice and (once again) Beavis and Butt-Head. "Skull" samples Homer Simpson killing historical figures in the Halloween episode "Dial 'Z' for Zombies." When Skelteria performed live, clips from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Rockumentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey were used as intros to songs.

I Am the Band: Skelteria was Evan Cotner, A Robot, and whoever he could find to play bass until he officially decided to make it a one-man band in 2012. The one-man-band era ended when Nick Klepin joined the band in November 2014. It would revert back to one-man whenever Vincent departed or was indisposed.

Careful with That Axe: Cotner's Seth-Putnam-esque screeches in "Incubus/Dark Harvest" and "Funeral For a Dream" are straightforward metal screams. In fact, this trope is featured more prominently in Skelteria than in any other works.
