They’re both industrial giants who dwell in our dark psyches creeping out at just the right moments…I could go on, but that would take focus away from the celebration that is a new Skinny Puppy album!

It is so hard to type this without mentioning how brilliant the full-length is but you’re gonna have to wait for that column for a few weeks. If you’ve been a fan of either Marilyn Manson or KMFDM during the last 15 years, chances are you know who Tim Skold is already. For me, I discovered his S/T album while shopping at Mystery Train Records on Newbury Street. He was an integral part of two of my favorite KMFDM records (Symbols and […]
