Skinny Puppy’s cEvin Key Announces New Album, Shares “House Tried to Kill Me”: Stream

Skinny Puppy founder cEvin Key — aka Kevin Compton — has announced a new album of previously unreleased archival material, bRap and fOrth, vol. 9, and shared the song “House Tried to Kill Me.”
bRap and fOrth, vol. 9 continues Key’s ongoing “Back and Forth” series, which culls demos and recordings from the industrial pioneer’s vast archive of unreleased material. For the ninth iteration, he exhumed old four-track tapes hailing from Skinny Puppy’s Bites era — some of his earliest work.
A dance-y four-minute instrumental, “House Tried to Kill Me” is certainly reminiscent of the sound on Bites — old-school drum machines, ’80s sound effects, and homespun production abound — making it required listening for hardcore Skinny Puppy fans.
“‘bRap And fOrth 9’ is a collection of some of my earliest recordings recently discovered on four-track tapes,” Key remarked via Bandcamp. “Most are from 1985 from the infamous ‘Bites’ apartment, a couple more from later but still made on a four-track.
