Skeletal Family

Os Skeletal Family nasceram em Keighley, Inglaterra, no final de 1982, a partir dos membros que restaram dos The Elements. Skeletal Family provém do tema "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family", de David Bowie.

Em 1984 assinaram com a Red Rhino Records e gravaram o primeiro single, "The Night". Ainda no mesmo ano, lançaram o primeiro disco, de nome "Burning Oil". Assim, entraram em digressão com Sisters Of Mercy. Em 1985, foi a vez do álbum "Futile Combat, assim como o single "Promised Land".

Já tinham existido problemas com a line-up da banda e, depois de terem assinado com a Chrysalis Records, Anne-Marie Hurst (vocalista original) abandonou os Skeletal Family, mas o seu percurso musical não parou. A própria banda acabou por se dissolver.

Reuniram-se em 2002. Em Setembro de 2009, lançaram o disco "Songs Of Love, Hope And Despair", mas voltaram a separar-se dois meses depois.

Skeletal Family was founded in Keighley, England, in late 1982, from the remaining members of The Elements. The name Skeletal Family was took from the song "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family", by David Bowie.

In 1984, they signed a deal with Red Rhino Records and recorded their first single, "The Night". During the same year, they released their debut album, called "Burning Oil". So, they went on tour with Sisters Of Mercy. In 1984, it was launched the record "Futile Combat", as well the single "Promised Land".

The line-up problems were old within the band and after they signed a deal with Chrysalis Records, Anne-Marie Hurst (the original vocalist) left Skeletal Family, but her musical career did not stop. The band itself eventually dissolved.

In 2002, the band reformed. In September 2009, they released "Songs Of Love, Hope And Despair", but they split up two months later.
