SKINNY PUPPY Album Features Appearances By Wayne Static and Danny Carey
After years of waiting, Skinny Puppy return with The Greater Wrong Of The Right, a breathtaking continuation of the path embarked upon with The Process. The experiments of the past few years have neither been forgotten nor diminished. Rather, in their condensed and highly dynamic style, they have forged an album that impresses first and foremost with its energy, vigor and stringency.
Although all the traditional elements of the Skinny Puppy history have been integrated into the ten new tracks, their complexity and divergence develop little by little, in typical Skinny Puppy fashion:
Demanding up-tempo tracks like 'I'mmortal', or 'Pro-test' with its brilliant rap elements synergize with intricate little masterpieces like 'Ghostman'; all of which continue to put the band's imitators in their places.
Still The Greater Wrong Of The Right is an album which thankfully lacks any manner of forced anachronism or supposed nostalgic flair. With the support of a new generation of musicians, like Tool's Danny Carey (acoustic drum on 'Use Less') and Wayne Static of Static-X (vocals on 'Use Less'), it is, with all its dark brilliance, already one of the most outstanding albums of the year - and another milestone in the history of a band both exceptionally genuine and genuinely exceptional.
The Greater Wrong Of The Right is being releases on May 25th. The band plays Chicago on June 16
