Drawing from the pioneering work of artists like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Suicide, the black avant-industrial group Skinny Puppy formed in 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally a duet comprised of former Images in Vogue drummer cEvin Key (natural Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre (aka Kevin Ogilvie), Skinny Puppy followed their debut cassette, Back and Forth, with the EP Remission, the first of many recordings with producer David "Rave" Ogilvie, in 1984.
Keyboardist Wilhelm Schroeder coupled the group for 1985's full-length debut, Bites, only was replaced the succeeding year by Dwayne Goettel, whose sampling and synth work proved pregnant in the growing of the Skinny Puppy esthetic from sinister dance music into a distinct fusion of industrial, goth, and electronic sounds. Subsequent releases wish 1986's Judgement: The Perpetual Intercourse, 1987's Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate, and 1988's VIVIsectVI farther honed the trio's style, as well as introducing the candid lyrical schedule that remained a thematic invariant throughout often of the group's work.
In 1989, Ministry's Al Jourgensen added vocals, guitars, and production work to Rabies; later, he united Ogre in the incline project Pigface. Ultimately, the members' interest in pursuing standardised outside projects began to unravel Skinny Puppy: in 1987, Key and Edward Ka-Spel of the Legendary Pink Dots recorded the album Their Eyes Slowly Burning under the mention Tear Garden, and in 1990, he and acquaintance Alan Nelson worked as Hilt. A major rupture began ripping the circle apart, and Key and Goettel a great deal sided against Ogre, whom they felt was more interested in pursuing solo work than in holding the terzetto intact; drugs had as well go a dangerous trouble, merely Skinny Puppy yet gestural to American Recordings in 1993 and relocated to Los Angeles to start production work.
The roger Huntington Sessions for the record album, highborn The Process, proved black; for the first time in nigh a decennary, David Ogilvie did not oversee yield duties, and the mathematical group went through several producers, including previous Swan Roli Mosimann and Martin Atkins. Flooding and earthquakes further hampered the sessions, and Key was sternly injured in a film shoot. After months of recording, Key and Goettel, disgruntled with Atkins' mould, absconded with the master tapes and returned to Vancouver in mid-1994 to finale production. Ogre remained in California, and by and by announced he was departure Skinny Puppy to mannequin W.E.L.T. A few months later, on August 23, 1995, Goettel was establish dead of a heroin o.d. in his parents' place; in his honour, Key and Ogilvie ultimately completed the album, and The Process was released in 1996. A multimedia history of the set, Brap: Back and Forth, Series 3 & 4, followed a few months later, while Key returned to his raw project, Download. Released in 1998, Remix Dys Temper featured Skinny Puppy reworkings by Autechre, Neotropic, and Adrian Sherwood in addition to industrial groups like KMFDM and God Lives Underwater.
By 2000 the tidings was out that Key and Ogre had inhumed the hatchet, reactivated Skinny Puppy, and recording was afoot. A 1994 jam between Skinny Puppy and Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV appendage Genesis P-Orridge was released under the title Puppy Gristle in 2002 on Key's subCON label. The SPV label (which had long been the distributor of the band's albums in Europe) signed the ring in late 2003. Skinny Puppy's Greater Wrong of the Right hit the streets in 2004 with members of Tool, Collide, and Static-X qualification guest appearances. It was followed in 2007 by Mythmaker.
