Canada’s Skinny Puppy will be releasing their new album at the end of the month.
Mythmaker, the band’s 13th release, is set for a January 30th release. The album will feature Ken Marshall and Otto Von Schirach and the band have said the new material is similar to their albums Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse and Too Dark Park. Frontman Nivek Ogre said:
“Control is the central concept to the record, the idea where mythic archetypes are clung to in an effort to preserve their own fucked-up sensibility. At the core, Mythmaker surrounds the things people do, calculatingly or not, to either prop themselves up – like MySpace – or protect themselves.”
You can check out a track from the album on the band’s myspace. Click the link below.
