Skullflower is a pioneering noise rock and drone group from the UK, formed in 1987 by guitarist Matthew Bower. Known for their dense, feedback-heavy soundscapes and improvisational approach, Skullflower has been a key influence in the realms of experimental and extreme music. Blurring the lines between psychedelic rock, metal, and industrial noise, the band’s output spans decades, with numerous releases that challenge traditional musical structures.
Their early work, including albums like Form Destroyer and IIIrd Gatekeeper, helped define a raw, guitar-driven aesthetic that would become a hallmark of the noise underground. Over time, Skullflower’s sound evolved toward more abstract and ritualistic drones, particularly in the 2000s and onward. Bower remains the core creative force behind the project, often collaborating with other experimental musicians. Skullflower’s uncompromising vision continues to resonate with fans of esoteric and boundary-pushing music.
