Skindred have confirmed they’ve entered the studio to begin recording what will be their seventh album.

The Welsh outfit gave a short update on Facebook, showing the interior of the studio where they’re working on the follow-up to 2015’s Volume.

No release date has been announced, while further album details will be revealed in due course.

In October, Skindred confirmed the Start The Machine UK tour which will take place throughout April. They’ll be joined on the road by CKY.

Skindred drummer Arya Goggin said: “We could not be more excited about our next UK tour and want it to be our best to date.

“CKY are an amazing band so we are really happy to be taking them with us on this run. We also cannot wait to play Brixton again – every time we play there it just gets better and better.”
