Description, by fatalist

An absolute legend of the Industrial scene, Skinny Puppy kept re-inventing the scene over and over again. The Canadian trio made many releases on the Nettwerk label, releases that some consider are so dark that they can only be listened to on fine sunny days when the birds are singing! Raw electronics and paranoid vocals accompany spastic beats, rhythms and enjoyable theatrical over-the-top live shows. They inspired so many bands that the scene wouldn't be as it is today! Although they split in 1995 due to the death of keyboardist D. Goettel, rumour has it that Skinny Puppy live shows are around the corner.

Skinny Puppy are unique, yet inspired by so many forms of music. Testure for example resembles a harsh 80's synthpop song. On the other hand, songs like Anger and Left Handshake are eary and noisy. If I controlled dreams, I would put these songs into every nightmare. Music differs theme from album to album but shows how the band has progressed and learned from its mistakes. I've never heard a band quite like them and it really does depend on your mood to whether you can listen to them or not. I'm a very big fan but at times they can get on my nerves. My favourite song is Worlock/Assimilate and my favourite album is Brap! Check them out whatever you're into. Trust me you'll find something you enjoy.
