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

in nervous convulsion crouches infant ape trembling in mothers shit
cage eyes tear less filled with contempt clinic mask experiment with
life and death smell lingering noxious mixed scent anxiety omnipotent doctor
grinds the cage door revealing loves primal instinct taken away the tiny
face terrified rant and rave smash your head against the cage vacuum
clicks on high conscious of the pain pass off as humane white coat seems
so clean most dirt bleached out of greed force the point of habit eyes burn
in a rabbit push the pain test button spines cut trip mucous inflection
more die. pills each day what goes around comes back stronger tap into
the brain break the skull again smash price research rat lab rent pain
in flesh more ill drug store sales sharpen the knife emphasis on money
new disease everyday end is seen and coming reseach turns it's back
to gain crush the spine genocide kitten drags its dead limb continuing
all suffering it will come back and win shock paralyse turn trauma
burns out the will to live the lying message 5 year genocide 1945 suicide
