Totem Skin was a Swedish hardcore punk band known for their intense blend of crust punk and post-metal, delivering emotionally charged performances and recordings. Formed in 2012, in Dalarna, the group quickly made a name for themselves within the underground music scene through their critically acclaimed releases.

Over the course of their relatively short career, Totem Skin pushed the boundaries of heavy music with a series of powerful releases. Their final works include "Volcano," a raw onslaught of sound capturing the band's aggressive edge; and "Weltschmerz," a masterful 2015 album that saw them dive deeper into the realms of darkness and despair. Their split with Heart On My Sleeve showcased their ability to collaborate and share their soundscapes with other artists in the genre, further solidifying their place on the hardcore map. Their 2013 album, "Still Waters Run Deep," remains a staple in their discography, revered for its dynamic songwriting and emotional intensity. Despite disbanding in 2017, Totem Skin’s influence continues to resonate with fans and musicians drawn to their visceral and evocative take on hardcore music.
