Download, Lingam: Album Review

Download, Lingam: Album Review

Can I first thank the demon goddess that 2013 is apparently bringing us a new Skinny Puppy record, a new ohGr recod supposedly (Watch this space for my Nivek Ogre review coming soon where he talks about it), and a new record by cEvin Key’s Download? Anyway,  the ego to the super-ego that is Skinny Puppy (The id of course being ohGr), Download float in that middle space superbly crafting these beats that lie uninhibited by vocals. As far as […]

The Popblerd Halftime Show: Jesse's Best of 2013 So Far

The Popblerd Halftime Show: Jesse’s Best of 2013 So Far

Half over? Already?!?!?! Time flies when you’re listening to great music I guess and 2013 so far, for me at least, has been pretty spectacular. I’m sure this list will change come December but for now I leave you with the following: 1. Ghost: Infestissamum / Skinny Puppy: Weapon These two albums are in a dead heat for me at the moment. Who will win? No one knows (Well, I guess I do…). Anywho, I listen to a track off of each of these at […]

Skinny Puppy, Weapon: Album Review

Skinny Puppy, Weapon: Album Review

At times harkening back to the yesteryear of Skinny Puppy while at other times moving boldly into the future, Weapon is a visceral slab of electronic goodness that is hands down the best album they have released since “reforming”. Probably the most aggressive  21st Century offering from Skinny Puppy as well, Weapon is so in-your-face (And so surprising a release considering HanDover barely came out two years ago) that you’d be wise to invest in concealer to cover up the […]

Spin Cycle: Skinny Puppy’s “hanDover”

What differentiates oHgr from Skinny Puppy these days? That’s a tough question. They both share the same vocalist in Nivek Ogre. They both have Mark Walk. 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! The long gestating and even longer delayed hanDover is finally out and it is a masterpiece of an […]

Metal Monday Volume 16 (5.2.11)

Can we all agree that Nivek Ogre is one of the most underrated wordsmiths of our time? His flows are alien. His voice is unmistakable. He is a showman in every aspect of his being. Seriously, if Kanye West would’ve made a song like “comedown” (Or at least come up with the beats) and put it on 808’s & Heartbreaks, it would be huge. Such is the case when it come to the truly talented and by that, I mean never appreciated […]

Metal Monday Volume 12 (4.4.11)

The Industrial Revolution has arrived. I love me some industrial metal. My musical appreciation began around 1992 when Ministry released Psalm 69 and NIN had just released Broken . After them, I discovered Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and a slew of others and I’ve been an avid fan of the genre ever since. The last few years have definitely produced some solid industrial albums but I don’t think there’s been a release schedule like May 10th in a very long time. May […]
