Skindred, formed in the early 2000s in Wales, has become the benchmark for “ragga metal,” a singular blend of metal, reggae, punk and dub. Driven by the explosive charisma of Benji Webbe, the band built a global reputation on unstoppable energy and a sound you can recognize in seconds.

Records like Babylon, Union Black and Big Tings showcase a groove-heavy yet crushing style where sharp riffs lock in with Jamaican-inflected beats and big, crowd-ready hooks. On stage, Skindred turns every show into a collective detonation — crowned by the legendary “Newport Helicopter” that sends pits spinning.
