“Addiction” by Skinny Puppy
From the album Cleanse Fold and Manipulate (1987)
“Addiction” by Skinny Puppy appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 1987 on the album Cleanse Fold and Manipulate. Its best result is #1872 on the Fred XM Top 2044 Songs of All-Time (July 2003). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,193 alternative song of all time.
"Addiction" crawled out of Cleanse Fold and Manipulate, Skinny Puppy's 1987 album, and went out as a vinyl single that same year, following "Stairs and Flowers" and ahead of "Censor". The music is credited to cEvin Key, Dwayne Rudolph Goettel and Ogre, with Ogre alone on the words, and Dave Ogilvie produced.
Ogre went to strange places for his text: the lyrics borrow lines from Melmoth the Wanderer, Charles Maturin's 19th-century Gothic novel, and the track lurches the way industrial music is supposed to, all clank and dread. It took its time reaching CD: 1991 in Canada, 1997 in the United States.
