Skin is the second studio album by 16volt, released on January 13, 1994 by Re-Constriction Records.[2] [3]
John Bush of AllMusic compared the band favorably to Skinny Puppy and said that "Skin has the same sinister vocals, raucous percussion and samples as Ogilvie's band." Aiding & Abetting called Skin "a stunning display of musical and creative power" and credited the live sound and diverse compositions as being the high points of the album."[4] Sonic Boom praised Skin for "utiliz[ing] the guitar work to accentuate the music as opposed to detracting from the electronics and overpowering them" and that "16 Volt is the only other band besides Front Line Assembly who has successfully used guitars as the primary element of percussion in some of their music."[5] CD Review gave the album and six out of six, praising the industrial style of the guitar performances.[6] [7]
