In its four decades of existence, Skinny Puppy has established itself as a groundbreaking innovative voice in the world of electronic music, fearless in both its musical experimentation and taking a stance on the issues of our times. Released in September of 1986, Skinny Puppy's second studio album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse is infamous for both its pornographic album photo (the political backlash resulted in the Parental Advisory label) and for inspiring the next generation of industrial music contemporaries (Nine Inch Nails) with tracks like "Dig It" and "Stairs and Flowers."
