Skull Session is a band with a simple plan.  Bringing the heavy, furious nature of thrash and speed metal back to the ears of the metal community with a vengeance.  In a time where commercial appeal and integrity have become inversely proportional, Skull Session is based around riff-oriented, aggressive music reminiscent of the earlier days of metal but with a palatability for those less inclined to embrace such sonic intensity.

The brainchild of ex-Whiplash lead guitarist and vocalist Warren Conditi, Skull Session has from the beginning set out to prove that metal fans deeply desired some alternative to the groove-laden pseudo-metal flooding the airwaves as of late.

After recording two albums and undertaking a European tour with the New Jersey thrash legends, Conditi took some time off from writing and recording.  It was during this time he decided to find an outlet for his music, which fused his own style of NWOBHM influenced playing with the breakneck tempos and precision of thrash and speed metal. Conditi knew that Skull Session would be exactly what he wanted it to be: fast, heavy, aggressive, precise and standing on its own, not in anyone's shadow.

Conditi recruited Dennis Staub, an accomplished guitarist and songwriter as well as a longtime friend of Conditi's who as well, shared the desire to create music with integrity and fire that would be impossible to ignore. Conditi and Staub had worked together in the past, and had a long musical relationship spanning over a decade. Staub, formerly of Cranial Intrusion had discussed their musical ideals which never seemed to materialize externally through other artists. When approached by Conditi, it soon became obvious to the duo that the realization of their musical ideals would be achieved best by them.

After a few discussions about the increasingly stale musical climate and Conditi's and Staub's growing unrest musically, inevitably, the creation of what was to become Skull Session began to take shape.
