Not all their stuff is abrasive and chaotically layered, by the way.









But then they also do sound collage freakouts and alien soundscapes, along with really atmospheric film score sounding music.





They've been my favorite band since I was 16 and I can't see that ever changing.

Tri-polar. Couple of decent songs on there, but not anything I'd go out of my way to chase down.

Never heard of it, thought it might be like one of those weird NIN bootlegs. Googled it and came up with Tri-Polar by Sick Puppies. Definitely not Skinny Puppy.

Skinny Puppy's an old daddy goth band from the '80s, currently on their 40th anniversary tour. Influenced a lot of industrial bands, being one of the original electro-industrial bands, but nobody cares unless you're into that shit, lol.

They're pretty cool though. Lots of horror movie samples, cryptic lyrics, humanitarian political stance, anti-vivisection and animal abuse (where the name stems from). Their live shows are very theatrical.



"Human Disease (S.K.U.M.M.)" off their VIVIsectVI album (vivisect 666, get it?) is my favorite song of theirs. Crunchy, mesmerizing; it's a head trip.

This will be a short update, but we are happy to announce that we have something big coming in June. We have kept mostly silent these past few months, but we are almost ready to show you how far we have come. The game is nearing completion, and we have yet to reveal our biggest surprise.

Stay tuned!

Like anything else when it comes to us humans music is relative to the listener. What one might like the other might not. Still, others might even have a neutral stance on it. I've not heard of, nor heard anything done by Skinny Puppy yet. Perhaps I should take a listen too when I get the chance just to hear what it's about.

I herd one of their albums. My wife had one and I added it to my greater music collection. It's...

Eh...I dunno about CotM3 (though I'd be elated for it), but both RoTN and I assume RoTN2 are proceeding apace. For RoTN, yes, there have been delays, but 505 is still attending to the official Bloodstained discord and they've told us work on the remaining modes is continuing well, they've provided roadmaps, etc. Now, there could be more delays in the future, sure, but that's software development unfortunately. I think the game itself is definitely on the road to full completion, even if there were a few delays.

As for RotN2, well, I know nothing about that other than what's been publicly revealed (namely the leak lol) but if 505's still working with Artplay, and again they are judging by their updates on the discord, IMO it's safe to assume work on the sequel is proceeding at a satisfactory pace, since with 505's involvement from the very outset they'll be able to help IGA more with everything and keep development on track

ROTN unfinished… Imagine that 😂

‘Time of Death’ was officially called with the Child of Light DLC.

Honestly, after the catastrophe that were the numerous delays, as well as the missing water boss and the abortion which was the Switch version, I don’t think Iga has it in him to another ROTN. He’d sooner release COTM3, which is a safer bet in generating revenue.

Wondering why Iga doesn’t just release Bloodstained ROTN II already..

Last I checked, they still hadn't finished releasing Bloodstained ROTN I yet...
