On June 7th and only a few short months after the release of their sophomore album Year Two, genre-defying duo Tim De Gieter and Sigfried Burroughs of DOODSESKADER (Dutch for “Death Squad”) have teamed up with French video game developer Digixart to release 'Plastic Skin / Warm Flesh (from Tides of Tomorrow)', a new single that will accompany Digixart’s highlyanticipated 2025 video game release, “Tides of Tomorrow”.
'Plastic Skin/Warm Flesh' undoubtedly explores new sonic grounds for Doodseskader; while the song is unlike anything De Gieter or Burroughs have released before, their signature sound is undeniable as the listener is swept along on a journey full of twists and turns, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Each lyric, ever honest and introspective, manages to evoke a feeling of hope — yet also of desperation. Punctuated by Burroughs on the drums, the song grows and swells until every sentence manages to feel like a punch to the gut.
“I wanted to encapsulate the feeling of what it is like to feel alone, while still holding out hope for something better,” De Gieter comments. The song paints comfort as a double-edged sword; as De Gieter sings “The future that I see / Is wrapped in metal sheets”, the listener is left questioning as to whether that is, in fact, a good thing.
‘Plastic Skin’ is recorded and mixed by Tim De Gieter at Much Luv Studio and mastered by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden.

DOODSESKADER is a merging of the minds of Tim De Gieter (Amenra, Much Luv Studio) and Sigfried Burroughs (Kapitan Korsakov, Paard). Throughout their four years of existence, DOODSESKADER has been relentlessly pushing the envelope of what it means to be a “heavy” band. From the punishing blend of hiphop and hardcore of their debut album 'Year One' to the critically acclaimed experimental sonic onslaught that is 'Year Two', they’re breaking free of any form of categorization.
The duo has been compared to genre-defying trailblazers such as Ghostemane, Show Me The Body, and Ho99o9, however, they clearly bring their own sonic palette to the table. The red thread in all of this has been their brutally honest and introspective lyrics. Far from your run-of-the mill type of band, DOODSESKADER uses their instrumentation as a sonic backdrop for the emotion and message they try to convey; their music serves as a mirror for life itself. Sometimes brutal, sometimes fragile, sometimes energizing, but always unexpected.
