Charismatic frontman/conceptualist Ogre and electronics legend Cevin Key best known as Skinny Puppy will finally release their 14th studio album, «hanDover» - it will happened on October 28th, 2011 via SPV (in Europe).

With help from longtime partners Ken «Hiwatt» Marshall and Mark Walk, Ogre and Key have delivered an album that mirrors today's cultural uncertainty. At its most jarring, «hanDover» feels like digital epilepsy, exchanging the band’s predilection for opaque menace for a trembling, near spasmodic discomfort. The amphetamine glitch-worship on «Gambatte» and the mechanized percolating of «Icktums» further emulates a societal framework that’s got its foot on the gas pedal on the road toward extinction. Ogre’s twisted fable, «Brownstone» is shored up with twitching synthetics reminiscent of an orgy of hospital equipment. «Village» is an indictment of financial institutions through the prism of the ignorant populace that let them get away with the ruin. The seven-minute «NoiseX» weaves layers of programmed breakbeats into phase-shifted psychedelic vistas to simulate a supercomputer’s ascension into purgatory.

«Life is taking over and many times, it moves much faster than the music you’re making,» resigns Ogre. «Cevin and I are in a good place for where we are personally — two immature 50-year-olds.» he Laughs. «I have no end time until my heart ceases to beat. I remember when we finished our 1984 debut EP. I thought, ‘What a great experience to have in my life. I made a record!’ How the work resonates with people today is still a mystery to me.»
