Biography

Skinny Puppy was a Canadian band with members [a=cEvin Key] (keyboards, percussion) and [a=Nivek Ogre] (vocals), founded in late 1982 in Vancouver, BC. They got a contract at [l=Nettwerk] via the demo tape "Back And Forth" and released their first EP "Remission" in 1984. Their records were released in Europe by [l1792]. They released their first LP "Bites" in 1985, now with member [a=Wilhelm Schroeder] (better known as [a=Bill Leeb]) on keyboards. In 1986, Schroeder was replaced on keyboards by [a=Dwayne R. Goettel] (then in the group [a=Psyche (2)]). Over a career spanning 20+ years and as many releases, Skinny Puppy has remained fresh and vital to its many fans, and is considered as one of the most important bands in the industrial/gothic/ebm genre, inspiring such acts as [a=Nine Inch Nails] and [a=Marilyn Manson]. Skinny Puppy disbanded for a time, following the death of Goettel by overdose in August 1995. Their final album "The Process" was completed and released in early 1996, and quickly became a bridge that earned the band many new fans. After a 5 year absence, they reformed in 2000 for a one-off concert appearance at the Doomsday festival in Dresden, Germany (which has since been released as Back And Forth, Vol. 5 in 2001). The first studio album since their reformation "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" was released after years of anticipation in 2004. They embarked on a worldwide tour in support, and a DVD has been released documenting the North American leg. 2007 saw the release of "Mythmaker", and in 2011 the band released its final album with label SPV, "hanDover". They signed with Metropolis Records in 2012, and released the live album "Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas". The band released their 12th studio album "Weapon" on May 28, 2013. They had two final legs of tours in 2023 with their final date December 5th where they announced the break up and Ogre destroyed the band mascot "Cedric".

LYRICS

a lasting moment to hold onto with regret the scent of time
tried and tested I never noticed the phantoms of her mind
cresent moon im cutting through paste up warnings fill the sky
smoking embers I remember time and time again to try
to live I light to sink within her I think of light
time to blame to borrow from your past elapsed
collapsing

shes not insane
shes gone insane

and if the root of silence pulls me off and love is lost not
from my heart I sit upon this throne that throws me off

and she falls backward to the floor and forward to the back
she says elapses all my truth again shes the one I live for I live alone

burns inside horilbly she lifts me to the spirit burns
the darkest hours my corrupt brain is hurting
once again the door lies quiet left alone im thinking of her
sitting the burning clock of time
