Deadskin are a heavy metalcore outfit from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, forging a dark and aggressive sound in the local heavy music scene. Known for their intense atmosphere and brutal sonic assault, Deadskin combine crushing metalcore riffs, hardcore‑inspired breakdowns, and haunting lyrical themes that explore inner turmoil, fear, and psychological horror. Their music has been described as eerie and visceral, evoking the intensity of horror‑film soundscapes paired with relentless metal energy. The band’s lineup includes Mitchell Rawlings (vocals), James Gibson (bass), Paddy O’Brien (guitar), and Ben Baragwanath (drums), crafting music that draws comparisons to heavy contemporaries like Beartooth, Sworn In, Alpha Wolf, and Void of Vision. Deadskin have released a string of powerful tracks and EPs since their emergence in the early 2020s, including What Do You Count To Fall Asleep? (2022), A Home In The Suffering (2024), and singles such as “Seeing Things” and “Peeling Skin”, showcasing their evolving brutality and musical depth. Their live shows amplify their ferocious reputation, delivering heavy grooves and spine‑chilling performances that resonate with fans of Australia’s underground metal and hardcore scenes.
