Skinny Puppy – Too Dark Park

27,00 

Too Dark Park is the sixth studio album by the industrial music group Skinny Puppy. The album cover features the debut appearance of the band’s “SP” logo. The cover art was created by Vancouver based artist Jim Cummins. The artwork for this album and its associated singles was inspired by cosmic horror stories such as the Cthulhu Mythos. Lyrical themes include collapse of society due to destruction of nature, drug addiction, and psychological issues.

Too Dark Park was well received upon its release in 1990, with critics like Spin magazine’s Staci Bonner declaring the record to be the band’s “return to the bloodbath”. Bonner gave the most praise to the album’s sampling, calling the technique’s use “artful”, and concluded that “you can be a ‘spun web deluded of life’ or a ‘crushed velvet corpse’ because with Skinny Puppy, everyday is Halloween.”
