As Skinny Puppy side-projects go, the Doubting Thomas debut is nothing short of a classic in its own right. With some of the industrial leanings of their SP recordings, though definitely less raucous, this, their first non-canine release, has more than enough bite to keep you hooked.
The opening title track, awash with snatches of dialogue from vintage horror movies (& Chaz Sheen's infamous one-liner lifted from Platoon) sits up and begs to be listened to... again and again... As indeed does the rest of the content on offer here.
But for the untimely demise of cEvin Key's partner in crime on this project, Dwayne R. Goettel, there's NO DOUBT that
they would've continued to spellbind with further releases.
