VIVIsectVI (CD)

Vancouver's Skinny Puppy took the somewhat scattershot rage of industrial pioneers like Throbbing Gristle and gave it focus--exploring the endless catalogue of evils of which mankind is capable, all in lyrically graphic detail. Though not as commercially successful as the like-minded if somewhat more rock-oriented Ministry, Skinny Puppy never wavered from their extreme vision. After producing their savage brand of sonic assault for nearly a decade, the band disbanded in 1995 after the heroin overdose death of keyboardist Dwayne Goettel, but reformed in 2000. Skinny Puppy's THE GREATER WRONG OF THE RIGHT album/tour drew the ire of Republicans during the 2004 election for its musical disparagement of President George W. Bush.

Skinny Puppy: N. Ogre, Cevin Key, D. Rudolph Goettel, Rave.

The fourth full album-there's also an EP-of Canadian noise-dance trio Skinny Puppy is their breakthrough, in both artistic and commercial terms. VIVISECTVI was the album with which the band broke into the burgeoning alternative-goth scene in 1988. Their audience-practically a cult following-was devoted and stayed with the band for the rest of its career. The reason is the group's improved musical and lyrical focus on this album. Dave Ogilvie's production is clearer and more detailed than before, and that's essential for Skinny Puppy's multi-layered, sample-driven sonic assault. Where earlier albums sounded a little muddy, VIVISECTVI's knife-sharp detailing gives it a nerve-wracking immediacy. Similarly, Nivek Ogre's lyrics are much clearer than before. Before, it occasionally seemed like the repeated vivisection imagery was there for nihilistic shock value, but throughout this album, it's clear where the group's sympathies lie. The album's highlight is the atypically melodic "Testure," ironically the album's most extreme statement against animal cruelty.
