In an exciting turn of events for nu-metal fans, Billy Keeton has officially announced the return of his band, now called Skrapegoat, after a two-decade break. Originally known as Skrape, the band faced legal challenges that delayed their comeback, but Keeton’s determination has paved the way for a fresh start.

The announcement came on July 18, where Keeton expressed his excitement about the new identity. He emphasized that Skrapegoat is more than just a name change; it represents a new chapter in his creative journey. Fans can expect a powerful lineup and a blend of classic sounds with new material, honoring the band’s legacy while pushing forward.

Skrape, formed in 1997, gained popularity with albums like New Killer America and Up the Dose, touring alongside heavyweights such as Pantera and Slayer. Keeton’s announcement has already sparked enthusiasm among longtime supporters eager to hear his unmistakable voice again.

As Skrapegoat prepares for its next steps, fans are encouraged to follow their new social media accounts for updates on music and tour dates. The future looks bright for this iconic band as they embark on this exciting new journey!
