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

lovers and legions i've seen your whore try not to reason forsaken i'm poor
fire nerves and dissension flying at a glare a ginger reaction whisper care
a hairpin decision falls against the brain
to formulate the anguish and alleviate the pain
the silence is warning soul search nothing can't regain reach for air
scenes of a cheap thrill summon an old ghost
the foremost and sterile suffering one lost to
face the potential for fantasy and flair forever and forgiving summon
me and dare they keep on the mainstream forging their demise while
playing with the hopeless not facing their own lies
the symptoms of recourse i've seen nothing
overspill far too frail.
