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

Translation to interfere
exist on to disappear
some ties flip to ever cave
is this what .. all it takes
stand fast for tonight is change_do iT
pushed up from what we've been framed_screw iT
is this what we can live down _is this what i'm at stake_dowN
overhear signs to clear vertigo so surreal_drowN
all the the people say_screw iT and you people say .. screw iT
over fear dust and clear push deceive: the new deal
all the people say ..screw iT and you people say .. screw iT
SCREW IT
is this what i can take calm down all the people say_do iT
dumb down all the people pray_screw iT
is this what i can take down
is this what i'm at stake down
DOWN_do iT_screw_iT _DOWN
is this what i can take come down all the places steal_screw iT
is this what you can play dumb down all the people pray_screw iT
dumb down all the people pray_screw iT
calm down all the people say
run down just to keep on payinG.

i'm the weapon with a lot to say
freedoms end in armed displays
amend the bullet given life
a metal casing with more rights_than we bE guN
