Skinny Puppy

Real Name:Kevin Crompton (cEvin Key), Kevin Ogilvie (Nivek Ogre), Mark Walk
Profile:Canadian band with members Cevin Key (keyboards, percussion) and Nivek Ogre (vocals), founded 1983 in Vancouver. They got a contract at Nettwork via the demotape "Back And Forth" and released their first EP "Remission" in 1984. Their records were released in Europe by Play It Again Sam.

They released their first LP "Bites" in 1985, now with member Wilhelm Schroeder (better known as Bill Leeb) on keyboards. In 1986, Schroeder was replaced on keyboards by Dwayne Goettel (then in the group 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 Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.

Skinny Puppy disbanded for a time, following the death of Dwayne R. 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. Their newest album "Mythmaker" was released in early 2007.

User Reviews:
nickacid, Mar 06, 2008

I have to agree with a fellow reviewer that after Too Dark Park Things with SP do get questionable, their recent releases being, in my opinion, their worst. But Skinny Puppy are, and will always be my favourite band - Too Dark Park and everything before is sublime. Dark industrial synthesized soundscapes, twisted distorted vocals, pounding drums, samples that fade in and out of the mix, for me SPs lyrics are often undecipherable - Ogres stream of consciousness lyrics are hard to follow, but the tracks themselves are emotive, for me they convey meaning far beyond what was (perhaps) intended. Albums like Mind TPI, Cleanse, Fold..., Rabies, & Bites are quality from start to finish, Brap Vol 3 & 4 - a release of early mostly instrumental stuff manages to be quite chilled and ambient but still dark and disturbing at the same time.

I would highly recommend getting a copy of Aint It Dead Yet? A live album of SP at their best, almost an industrial orchestral piece, shut your eyes & play it loud - experience SP properly!
