Alien Skin is George Pappas, long-time keyboardist with legendary Australian band 'Real Life' whose multi-million selling '80s smash Send Me An Angel is still a regular on radio playlists worldwide and covered by countless of underground, goth & electro artists.
In 2008, after a number of acclaimed albums and world tours with Real Life, covering the US, Europe and Australia, he morphed into Alien Skin, releasing his highly praised debut album 'Don’t Open Till Doomsday'.
Compared to 'Black Celebration' era Depeche Mode and Enigma, and vocally to Martin Gore (DM) & David Sylvian of Japan, this body of work further established his signature sound of vast emptiness and icy, electronic melancholia.
The release in 2010 of 'The Unquiet Grave' album found the music of Alien Skin continuing to attract thousands of new devotees across the world, with atmospheric songs of seductive gothic ambiance, woven together into mesmerizing webs.
2012 promises to be the most exciting year yet with the release of his highly anticipated third album, Ghost In The Rain. This work is, as one reviewer writes, "... a collection of fleeting images caught in the corner of your mind, clinging to the darkest threads of your subconscious". The eerie, cinematic mystery of the first two albums continues to be refined, as Alien Skin further carves out his unique niche; perfect examples are stand out songs 'Vampyra' and 'Vanishing Girl'.
It's going to be a busy year with new releases and more - keep up to date by checking the Alien Skin Blog & Facebook.
