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

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide? Nowhere. Because there's no one like you left - Bodysnatchers
Find
Words fade above the snow
The carved out somebody stitch
The carver's all who waves surrender
Through all tempers looking back
The skin begins to crack
Those ever double jointed blamers

Find
Closed off no power the wheel inside no peace
No feeling all disease around security

Eyes
Devise the cycles find
A call that's never caught
Beneath the locusts timed decision

Find
The vice grips never freed
A crease upon one's debt
And never paying forward

Hate
What will we won't be late
What will be left today
When nothing left to beg the moral

Fate
What is it left can't you say
Who will be left to pay
When ugly crippled eyes remain

Fine
Closed off devoured the meat inside of me
In freeing all afraid of life eternity

Eyes
Burning of sorrow deep craving inside no teeth
Holding on nothing left to be believed

Fear
What will we want with fear
The time of bombing near
With nothing left to have hope for

Pain
What is there left to say
An ancient plan to pay
With blood and shit tomorrow

Shame
We will be learning shame
Until we play the game
That in the end will bring disorder

Race
What will be left to say
When nothing is the same
And all this shit goes over

Where you... nowhere... like you left... go... where you...

Stepping out behind mask
Kiss the mercantile abscess
Run behind blood
The fingernails are dirty

Face the combination loss
And go towards the final cost
A cripple's desk a lost foothold
Suffering at the end scene

Fine
Closed off devoured the meat inside of me
In freeing all afraid of life eternity
