VIVISectVI

Released

Skinny Puppy reached a new level of detailed sonic melodrama and outrage with the release of VIVISectVI, the intertwining of its constituent elements from stop to start creating an unnerving series of songs whose impact was on the level of the Bomb Squad’s contemporaneous work for Public Enemy. The harrowing “Testure” remains the album’s signature song, a seething condemnation of animal testing and abuse, but the brooding punch throughout, dwelling on chemical warfare horrors, the impact of AIDS and much more, was an industrial music triumph.
