Skinny Puppyis an influential industrialband, formed in 1982 by core members cEvin Key(Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre ( ohGr) (Kevin Ogilvie) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Inspired by the groundbreaking music of Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristleand others, Skinny Puppy experimented with electronic recording techniques and methods. Skinny Puppy composed multi-layered music generally using keyboards, synthesizers, found sounds, drum machines, live percussion, tape splices, and samplers. Whereas many contemporary remixes and re-edits of songs were created in order to make a song more suitable for dancing or different radio formats, Skinny Puppy approached remixing and re-editing as an artistic process of reinterpreting compositions, often using remixes to push their sound into styles of ambient, duband techno. Skinny Puppy's first two proper releases, Bitesand Remission, fall somewhere between the found-sound chaos of early Cabaret Voltaire and the abrasive, futuristic synthpop of the Units or Crash Course in Science.

Shadow Cast Lyrics
Skinny Puppy
magnified fear stares back the mirror reflect
depravity the shadow cast a feeling of ill harmony so crisp the famines
itch a withering shoreline tears of grey interspersed with withered
fruit her gloomy banquet of cheer heaven what a sweet pain douse the
ecstasy the imagination drained away perpetual reverie abruptly fade
heavens soothing some say tremulous hand jabs from behind sticks in
the back for all to see organs spilled leak of will void of secrecy
genuine tears delights the taste pain salts the bitter brew rich in guilt
to absorb the filth she worships a point of view scarce the thousand
remnants black charred flesh a victim screaming through heaven or
hell what's the difference one to believe in one to live in careful
balancing what's hell to heavens only flame
