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

It's come to rape the soul
The meaning of control
It's waiting for
It's waiting obscene
In dark dishonest times
The strangest things unwind
And undermine the undecided things

Forced time
All divided
Trips fine line
Warmth and craziness
Little spilling
Facing death
That binds the tie
Push aside
Unrelenting lip smack
Talks
Read the moving lips
Willing pillows
Breaks the neck
Hung out to die

And in the steep of luck
My God feels false and sold
To exercise what seems that cannot hold

Craving
Anything
What's going down
Nothing

Left it down to hit
What is it
Nothing

Thrust knives
Deep the bed abyss
Why try
Overcoming this
When the killing
Shapes the wrist
To paint the sky red eye

Crossed eyes
Undecided
Shed time
Lies
All because of this
Weather killing takes my breath
A lasting sigh

All life starts with death
All death starts with life
Ever circles back again
Never falls to regain

All life is with hope
All hope is to know
Righteous places
Righteous times
Even though
We live to die

(Thanks to Jacqueline for these lyrics)
