Hey all. I'm Josh. The creator of
The Infamous Official Skinny Puppy Thread. Dig It. . I've been crazed since the day I heard Assimilate back in my sophomore year of high school. That was like 5 years ago. I own about half their discography, but have heard just about everything.
Fave songs:
Assimilate
Smothered Hope
Icebreaker
Second Tooth
The Choke
Deadlines
Warlock
Dig It
Chainsaw
Shore Lined Poison
Morpheus ********, could go on forever...
Fave albums:
Probably Bites, Cleanse Fold Manipulate, and Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. But, I love them all.
Skinny Puppy seriously changed the way I view and listen to music. It changed my life. It told me their is more out there than just metal, country, and top forty rap/hip-hop/alternative rock. And, they blend many different genres while creating their own in the process.
No rip off could EVER fill the void of the Legendary Puppy. No one.
Taking influence from various artists like Throbbing Gristle, Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, etc. They have created a genre of electronic/alternative that they not only created and pioneered, but one that no one could ever set foot in and get away with imitating with ease and perfection.
And props ro Kristy and donators for getting this guild up and running!
