ALBUM

Subhuman Race (1995)

The third Skid Row studio album, released on Atlantic Records on March 28, 1995, it turned out to be the last record with singer Sebastian Bach and drummer Rob Affuso. It received positive reviews but sold less than the band's earlier work, arriving during a period when hard rock had lost much of its commercial footing.
