Nine Inch Nails and Ministry usually get all the credit for introducing industrial music to the masses during the early '90s.
But another group that had been championing the style for just as long -- actually, longer -- was Skinny Puppy.
While the two aforementioned bands had obvious hard rock leanings, Skinny Puppy always aligned themselves more with electro-dance, and they continue to do so on their 13th release overall, 2007's Mythmaker.
Longtime leaders Nivek Ogre and cEvin Key obviously know what their following wants to hear, as synth clicks/blips and processed vocals remain the group's main sonic ingredients, especially on such selections as the album-opening "magnifishit," "daL," and "politikiL." Not a lot has changed in the world of Skinny Puppy circa Mythmaker, but that's just the way Ogre and Key like it.
