Rabies

Description

Drawing from the pioneering work of artists like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Suicide, seminal electronic/avant-industrial group Skinny Puppy exploded onto the music scene with 1984s Remission, fusing elements of new wave, techno, film-noir, and innovative sampling. Rabies is the bands fifth studio album, originally released in November 1989 through Nettwerk Records. Notably featuring Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen (credited as Alien Jourgensen) who performed electric guitar and vocals on several songs, the album spawned two singles including Tin Omen and Worlock, the latter of which become one of the bands most recognizable songs. The evocative cover art was made by longtime Skinny Puppy collaborator Steven R. Gilmore.
