Drawing inspiration from their shared love for the original forms of heavy metal and infusing their own unique and diverse influences into the mix, they spent countless hours refining their sound. In 2020 after adding Mark Hopkins on bass, RivetSkull took a bold step forward, unveiling their debut album “Trail of Souls.” What sets RivetSkull apart is not just their sonic prowess but their poignant lyrical themes that delve into life’s struggles. Their lyrics are a reflection of the human experience, exploring the highs and lows, and triumphs and tribulations that define life’s journey, a genre the band likes to call “Heady Metal.”

RivetSkull’s lyrics invite listeners to connect with the raw and visceral aspects of existence, transforming the listener into a cathartic and empowering experience. As they carry the heavy metal torch, RivetSkull’s lyrical depth adds an extra layer to their sonic intensity, making them not just a metal band, but storytellers of the human condition.

Embracing the ethos of their musical forefathers while carving out a unique space for themselves in the ever-evolving world of metal, RivetSkull is writing a new chapter in the history of metal, a chapter where the past meets the future.
