Very few bands managed to set standards so high that only themselves can surpass. Off the top of my head I can think of only one more band, Coil (R.I.P.).
New album from one of the best then. Not much to say, since both bands for 20+ years are continuously producing music beyond usual perspectives and ideas. The result was expected. The new album, of course goes beyond Mythmaker in terms of syntheses and is better than it. It creates its own unique atmosphere, more grotesque than Mythmaker, without missing "headbanging'' pure industrial tracks (e.g. "Village"). As for lyrics... as usual, an overflow of meanings, symbolisms and emotions. The very big asset of Skinny Puppy.
100% Skinny Puppy industrial sound and experimentation. Definitely more evolved than their previous works but still... 100% Skinny Puppy. One of the very few bands that you recognize just be listening one of their new songs, without looking the cd cover.
Just make yourself a favor and add this masterpiece in your collection.
A million miles of pain friend, I'll see you in another dream...
My heart can't contain the missing fragments of memories...
