Skinny Puppy - Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse

Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, released in 1986, is a pivotal album in Skinny Puppy’s discography and a landmark in the evolution of industrial music. With its abrasive sound design, distorted vocals, and sample-heavy production, the album pushes sonic boundaries to reflect a world of psychological unrest, technological dread, and societal decay. Tracks like “Dig It” and “Chainsaw” blend harsh electronic textures with nightmarish atmospheres, creating a visceral, confrontational listening experience. Building on the foundation of earlier works, Mind established Skinny Puppy as avant-garde provocateurs, fusing performance art, political critique, and sonic experimentation into a deeply unsettling yet influential body of work that would shape the future of industrial and electronic music.
