As they gear up for a major North American tour early next year in support of new album Weapon, electro-industrial legends Skinny Puppy have debuted a graphic, Jason Alacrity-directed music video for one of the record’s tracks, “illisiT,” that features a riot cop stomping on skulls and some kind of hooded fugitive plunging surgical instruments into his arm to remove a bug-like robotic probe. That part’s not for the squeamish.
Check out the full clip below (via Hang the DJ), and re-visit out the band’s tour dates over here.

Cool video, but seriously, a blackberry? Did they conceive this in 2002?
Canadian band, Canadian phone.
Great video for an outstanding song from a masterpiece of an album. Yep, that sums it up for me.
Classic Puppy… love it. Looking forward to the tour in 2014
