Skinny Puppy VIVI Sect VI

VIVIsectVI (pronounced "vivisect six") is the fourth studio album by Canadian electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy, originally released in September 1988 through Nettwerk Records. Despite tackling controversial topics like animal rights, chemical warfare, and environmental waste, VIVIsectVI was well-received spawning two singles including "Censor," which was released on the album as "Dogshit," and "Testure," which was Skinny Puppy's only song to chart on Billboard's Dance Club Songs. The album saw a refinement of Skinny Puppy's characteristically harsh, mechanical, and sample-heavy sound, with several critics labeling it as the band's best effort. A landmark release in industrial and electronic music, VIVIsectVI was followed by a theatrically involved tour with Nine Inch Nails as the opening act.
