The Canadian electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy has released twelve studio albums and two extended plays along with a number of live albums, compilations, and singles. The group formed in 1982 and released its debut EP, Back & Forth, in 1984.[1] Later that year, Skinny Puppy was picked up by Nettwerk and released another EP, Remission, in December 1984. The band's first studio album, 1985's Bites,[2] was its last with the original lineup of vocalist Nivek Ogre and producer / multi-instrumentalist cEvin Key; Dwayne Goettel joined in 1986,[3] and the band released its next two albums, Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse and Cleanse Fold and Manipulate, in 1986 and 1987 respectively.[1]
VIVIsectVI (1988), Skinny Puppy's fourth album, was one of the band's most well-received efforts, placing on Melody Maker's best of 1988 list and garnering several retrospective accolades.[4][5][6] Bradley Torreano of AllMusic hailed the album as a masterpiece, and Jim Harper of the same publication saw VIVIsectVI as the beginning of electro-industrial music.[7][3] Rabies followed VIVIsectVI in 1989 and marked the band experimenting with industrial metal thanks to the influence of Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen.[8][9] Key and Goettel expressed dissatisfaction with the album,[10] and Skinny Puppy quickly returned to the studio for its sixth album, 1990's Too Dark Park.
Too Dark Park was another critical highlight of the band's career,[3][11][12][13] and Key described it as a return to form for Skinny Puppy.[10][14][15] In 1992, with the band on the brink of dissolution due to Ogre's worsening drug addiction,[16][17] Last Rights was released and saw the band pushing further into extreme noise territory.[18][19] The making of Skinny Puppy's next and eighth album, The Process (which would eventually be released in 1996), was fraught with difficulties both internal and external; the band shifted to a new record label with a new recording studio and new producers, Ogre left, Goettel died of a heroin overdose, and the band ultimately dissolved with the album unfinished.[20] Following dissolution, Skinny Puppy released several compilations and a live improvisation album titled Puppy Gristle (which had been recorded in 1993).[21] Ogre and Key reunited in 2000 and a year later released a live album documenting Skinny Puppy's revival.[22] The band returned to the studio and released The Greater Wrong of the Right in 2004, Mythmaker in 2007, HanDover in 2011, and Weapon in 2013.[1]
