Last Rights is the seventh studio album by Canadian electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy . It was released in March 1992 as the group's final record distributed through Nettwerk . Last Rights saw the band experimenting with two opposite extremes: cacophonous heavy music and gloomy melodies, resulting in moments of industrial weight as well as moments of uncharacteristic softness. Along with containing some of the band's most impenetrable walls of sound and an eleven-minute track composed almost entirely of manipulated and distorted samples , Last Rights also features Skinny Puppy's first ballad .

138-480: A B-side , "Lahuman8", which was created at the request of the dance group La La La Human Steps . "Love in Vein" was planned as the album's second single and prepared for release, complete with remixes and B-sides, but was ultimately canceled. Some of the material intended for the 12-inch was later released on Skinny Puppy's 1996 compilation Brap: Back and Forth Series 3 & 4 . Ultimately, Last Rights did not receive

207-543: A "sonic masterpiece" that was "ten years ahead of its time". Writing for Entertainment Weekly , Jim Farber praised the album's ugly intensity as well as its rare moments of melody. Jonathan Gold of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Skinny Puppy "plays dance music that nobody dances to and bellows gloomy manifestos that no one understands". Gold went on to call Last Rights an "enormously ambitious work" that mostly pulls it off. Sputnikmusic appreciated how challenging

276-449: A demo recorded by Goettel to which the rest of the band later added live drums and additional sounds. " Inquisition " marks Last Rights' midpoint and stands as its primary single. Despite being a propulsive, sample-heavy, pounding industrial dance track, it still acts as a lull from the album's chaos. AllMusic's John Bush saw the song as the album's pinnacle, calling it a "heart-stopping single whose production contributed just as much to

345-448: A heavy emphasis on walls of noise, atonal and highly distorted percussion, Ogre's agonized screaming, and, alternatively, moments of unusual melodicism. The phrase "audio sculpture" has been used to refer to the sound of Last Rights . On the album, the group's employment of samples was refined and, according to Tim DiGravina of AllMusic , put to better use than on past releases. Compared to Skinny Puppy's previous work, Last Rights

414-418: A human has also been described but has been reclassified as subgenotype IIB. Genotype III has been isolated from both humans and owl monkeys . Most human isolates are of genotype I. Of genotype I isolates, subtype IA accounts for the majority. The mutation rate in the genome has been estimated to be 1.73–9.76 × 10 nucleotide substitutions per site per year. The human strains appear to have diverged from

483-574: A milder form of the disease, usually lasting 1–3 weeks, whereas adults tend to experience a much more severe form of the disease. Globally, symptomatic HAV infections are believed to occur in around 1.4 million people a year. About 114 million infections (asymptomatic and symptomatic) occurred all together in 2015. Acute hepatitis A resulted in 11,200 deaths in 2015. Developed countries have low circulating levels of hepatovirus A, while developing countries have higher levels of circulation. Most adolescents and adults in developing countries have already had

552-464: A moment when the instruments build to complete, nearly indiscernible noise. In 1992, Sandra Garcia of B Side magazine wrote that the song "stopped her dead three times", making her put the album down. She continued, saying, "With the fourth try I realized it really was listening to someone going through hell". The next song, "Mirror Saw", is a quieter, more morose track built around stilted drum clips and warbling, distant synthesizer sounds. It began as

621-464: A poor internal ribosome entry site . In the region that codes for the HAV capsid, highly conserved clusters of rare codons restrict antigenic variability. Vertebrates such as humans serve as the natural hosts. Transmission routes are fecal-oral and blood. Following ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the epithelium of the oropharynx or intestine. The blood carries the virus to its target,

690-487: A recurrence of symptoms during the 6 months after the initial infection. Acute liver failure may rarely occur, with this being more common in the elderly. It is usually spread by eating food or drinking water contaminated with infected feces. Undercooked or raw shellfish are relatively common sources. It may also be spread through close contact with an infectious person. While children often do not have symptoms when infected, they are still able to infect others. After

759-733: A rodent origin for human Hepatitis A. A member virus of hepatovirus B ( Phopivirus ) has been isolated from a seal. This virus shared a common ancestor with Hepatovirus A about 1800 years ago. Another hepatovirus – Marmota himalayana hepatovirus – has been isolated from the woodchuck Marmota himalayana . This virus appears to have had a common ancestor with the primate-infecting species around 1000 years ago. One serotype and six different genotypes (three human and three simian) have been described. The human genotypes are numbered I–III. Six subtypes have been described (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB). The simian genotypes have been numbered IV–VI. A single isolate of genotype VII isolated from

828-497: A sample from Uncle Buck , as well as one from Vancouver radio station CKLG 730 . Last Rights' ninth and penultimate track, "Circustance", begins with more gloomily optimistic sounds and quickly descends into loud percussion drowning out Ogre's agonized mumbles. About this song, Valois wrote, "carnival and cartoon giddiness, pig-like snorts and speedway radio static blip by, only to end in a soothing mantra of wind blowing over glass bottles or Peruvian pan pipes." Like many tracks from

897-484: A second single until 2000, when "Left Handshake", the song cut from the album due to legal concerns, was issued in a limited capacity under the title "Track 10". One thousand copies were pressed, and they were sold at Skinny Puppy's reformation concert in Germany. Last Rights was met with positive reception. John Bush of AllMusic considered the album Skinny Puppy's technical and artistic peak, going so far as to call it

966-560: A single infection, a person is immune for the rest of their life. Diagnosis requires blood testing, as the symptoms are similar to those of a number of other diseases. It is one of five known hepatitis viruses: A, B , C , D , and E . The hepatitis A vaccine is effective for prevention. Some countries recommend it routinely for children and those at higher risk who have not previously been vaccinated. It appears to be effective for life. Other preventive measures include hand washing and properly cooking food. No specific treatment

1035-418: Is a more internal and personal album, with some publications seeing it as prophetic of the band's eventual demise. Ogre called the release his "document of delusion" and said that it captured the absolute height of the worst, most painful moments of his life. Because of the close nature of Ogre's contributions, no lyrics were printed on the liner notes. The album begins with the track "Love in Vein", which

1104-492: Is also recommended in those who have not been previously immunized and who have been exposed or are likely to be exposed due to travel. The CDC recommends vaccination against infection for men who have sex with men . No specific treatment for hepatitis A is known. Recovery from symptoms following infection may take several weeks or months. Therapy is aimed at maintaining comfort and adequate nutritional balance, including replacement of fluids lost from vomiting and diarrhea. In

1173-430: Is an infectious disease of the liver caused by Hepatovirus A (HAV); it is a type of viral hepatitis . Many cases have few or no symptoms, especially in the young. The time between infection and symptoms, in those who develop them, is two–six weeks. When symptoms occur, they typically last eight weeks and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice , fever, and abdominal pain. Around 10–15% of people experience

1242-513: Is associated with a high risk of infection. HAV can also be spread through sexual contact , specifically oro–anal and digital–rectal sexual acts. Humans are the only natural reservoir and disease vector of the HAV virus; no known insect or other animal vectors can transmit the virus. A chronic HAV state has not been reported. About 40% of all acute viral hepatitis is caused by HAV. Infected individuals are infectious prior to onset of symptoms, roughly 10 days following infection. The virus

1311-422: Is available, with rest and medications for nausea or diarrhea recommended on an as-needed basis. Infections usually resolve completely and without ongoing liver disease. Treatment of acute liver failure, if it occurs, is with liver transplantation . Globally, around 1.4 million symptomatic cases occur each year and about 114 million infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic). It is more common in regions of

1380-565: Is believed to have started in November 2017. By July 2018 48% of the state's counties had reported at least one case of hepatitis A, and the total number of suspected cases was 969 with six deaths (482 cases in Louisville, Kentucky ). By July 2019 the outbreak had reached 5,000 cases and 60 deaths, but had slowed to just a few new cases per month. Another widespread outbreak in the United States,

1449-410: Is excreted in the feces towards the end of the incubation period, specific diagnosis is made by the detection of HAV-specific IgM antibodies in the blood. IgM antibody is only present in the blood following an acute hepatitis A infection. It is detectable from 1–2 weeks after the initial infection and persists for up to 14 weeks. The presence of IgG antibodies in the blood means the acute stage of

1518-454: Is one of the group's more well-known and atypical tracks, and Ogre said it rivaled 1989's " Worlock " as the best Skinny Puppy song. It features melodic piano, a slow tempo with pounding percussion, and mournful vocals. Despite not being released as a single, "Killing Game" was the only song off of the album to receive a music video . The album's third track, "Knowhere?", is one of Skinny Puppy's darkest and heaviest. Sputnikmusic wrote that

1587-655: Is resistant to detergent , acid (pH 1), solvents (e.g., ether , chloroform ), drying, and temperatures up to 60 °C. It can survive for months in fresh and salt water. Common-source (e.g., water, food) outbreaks are typical. Infection is common in children in developing countries , reaching 100% incidence, but following infection, lifelong immunity results. HAV can be inactivated by chlorine treatment (drinking water), formalin (0.35%, 37 °C, 72 hours), peracetic acid (2%, 4 hours), beta-propiolactone (0.25%, 1 hour), and UV radiation (2 μW/cm /min). In developing countries , and in regions with poor hygiene standards,

1656-596: The 2003 US hepatitis outbreak , affected at least 640 people (killing four) in northeastern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania in late 2003. The outbreak was blamed on tainted green onions at a restaurant in Monaca, Pennsylvania . In 1988, more than 300,000 people in Shanghai , China, were infected with HAV after eating clams ( Anadara subcrenata ) from a contaminated river. In June 2013, frozen berries sold by US retailer Costco and purchased by around 240,000 people were

1725-481: The 58th best album of the 1990s. However, not all critics were taken with the album's assault of sound. Dave Morrison of Select called the album "a huge stir-fried noise that's genuinely astonishing at times, but generally unfocused, often collapsing under its own weight". All tracks are written by Skinny Puppy Notes All credits adapted from liner notes. Skinny Puppy Production personnel Design personnel Hepatitis A Hepatitis A

1794-499: The CD art from " Tormentor " (1990), a single off of Skinny Puppy's previous album, Too Dark Park . Despite these troubles, Last Rights was the group's first album to chart on the Billboard 200 , peaking at position 193 and becoming Skinny Puppy's most popular release at the time. Last Rights' release was preceded by the "Inquisition" single, which came out on March 24, 1992, and included

1863-430: The United States in 1991, the mortality rate for hepatitis A was estimated to be 0.015% for the general population, but ranged up to 1.8–2.1% for those aged 50 and over who were hospitalized with icteric hepatitis. The risk of death from acute liver failure following HAV infection increases with age and when the person has underlying chronic liver disease. Young children who are infected with hepatitis A typically have

1932-481: The United States, the vaccine developed by Maurice Hilleman and his team was licensed in 1995, and the vaccine was first used in 1996 for children in high-risk areas, and in 1999 it was spread to areas with elevating levels of infection. The vaccine is given by injection. An initial dose provides protection lasting one year starting 2–4 weeks after vaccination; the second booster dose, given six to 12 months later, provides protection for over 20 years. The vaccine

2001-462: The air of menace as Ogre's vocals". Jon Selzer of Melody Maker described the song as a "utopian lament". The sixth song, "Scrapyard", is another assault of unconventional noises with jarring rhythmic stops, contrasting periods of acoustic guitar with growled vocals and relentlessly pounding kick drums. Key considered "Scrapyard" one of the album's more exciting tracks. It features a sample from John Hughes ' 1989 film Uncle Buck . "Riverz End",

2070-410: The album preserve the tenth track slot as blank. Despite this, the song was a staple of 1992's live sets. "Left Handshake" would not see a release until eight years later when it was distributed in a limited capacity under the title "Track 10". "It was extremely brutal right off the bat and not very easy for anyone to listen to. [...] Last Rights is the way that things feel right now, and definitely

2139-459: The album was and admired that the band, despite being on the brink of dissolution, managed to pull together such an impressive work. Jon Selzer of Melody Maker called Last Rights "morbidly fascinating, unaccountably beautiful, and their best album yet." Writing for The Morning Call , Diana Valois said that if Last Rights closed Skinny Puppy's career, it would be an admirable conclusion. In 1998, Alternative Press ranked Last Rights as

2208-411: The album". What resulted was a sort of back-and-forth between the cut samples and the vocals of Ogre, who construed the sound bites as an attack on his addiction. The band obtained Leary's permission to use his voice, but Henry G. Saperstein , owner of the copyright, threatened to sue Skinny Puppy if they released the song. As a result, "Left Handshake" was taken off Last Rights , and many releases of

2277-601: The album's first instrumental piece, combines two tracks from Rabies , "Rivers" and "Choralone". Key intended the song to be one more break from cacophony, and Selzer deemed it another instance of hopeful sorrow. Diana Valois of The Morning Call called "Riverz End" pretty but compared it to a foul pool spiked with needles and rusted junk in the same breath. "Lust Chance", another largely instrumental song, provides an eerie combination of pornographic audio samples, reverberating and repetitious bass drums, and manipulated electronic sounds. Like "Scrapyard", "Lust Chance" contains

2346-518: The album, "Circustance" spawned from an in-studio jam. The last song of the album, "Download", stands in place of the original closing track, "Left Handshake". It is entirely derived from manipulated samples and features little to no rhythm. Ogre compared "Download" to a flatline. Key and Goettel went on to form the band Download , which expanded upon the song's early experimentation. About the track, Key said, "Dwayne and Anthony [Valcic] sat up for like fourteen hours just editing, and that’s not including

2415-430: The apex of his "functional drug addiction" during the album's recording, and Key and Goettel were fearful for his life. Ogre experienced vivid, drug- and insomnia-induced hallucinations in the studio, leading to what he called the "best sessions" of recording. Often these intense experiences would end with him being taken to the hospital. After his third seizure, which occurred while he was recording background vocals to

2484-573: The band played clips from Japanese snuff films in the Guinea Pig series and were surprised by the audience reactions; apparently, many perceived the gruesome images as real. Ogre, dismayed by fans who enjoyed the explicit gore for the wrong reasons, wanted to shift the band's live tone to something more conceptual and introspective. He considered the Last Rights tour as a maturation, and thought of those 1992 performances as dark inward looks. Tim Gore,

2553-515: The band's manager and assistant in designing the Too Dark Park shows, helped Ogre come up with the more nuanced set of theatrics, resulting in Skinny Puppy's most ambitious and prop-heavy tour. In preparation for the upcoming Last Rights shows, Ogre and William Morrison recorded and edited sixty-six minutes of backing video to sync up with the live performances. This footage was recorded at

2622-464: The band. cEvin Key and Dwayne Goettel believed that vocalist Nivek Ogre was more interested in pursuing his solo career than maintaining Skinny Puppy, and his abuse of drugs (specifically injected cocaine and heroin ) exacerbated the schism. Manager Mark Jowett recalled the time, saying, "They internally combusted to some degree". Though the band was still functional and able to record music, much of

The incubation period is 15–50 days and risk of death in those infected is less than 0.5%. Within the liver hepatocytes, the RNA genome is released from the protein coat and is translated by the cell's own ribosomes . Unlike other picornaviruses, this virus requires an intact eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) for

Over 30,000 cases of hepatitis A were reported to the CDC in the US in 1997, but the number has since dropped to less than 2,000 cases reported per year. The most widespread hepatitis A outbreak in the United States occurred in 2018, in the state of Kentucky. The outbreak

2829-459: The first four seconds were missing from the album and the last four were silent. Other copies released in North America had the same issue, but heightened to thirty-nine seconds, resulting in wholly nonsensical track divisions. Nettwerk and Capitol Records quickly distributed a corrected run of copies with "Quality Controlled" stickers. Some Canadian prints of Last Rights mistakenly featured

2898-540: The friendliness was gone when it came time to work on Last Rights . Dave Ogilvie , longtime producer and temporary member of Skinny Puppy during the 1988 VIVIsectVI sessions, acted as a middleman between the two halves of the band. First, he would record with Goettel and Key, and afterwards he would bring Ogre in and work with him in isolation. This disconnect between Last Rights' instrumental composition and vocal recording would prove vital to its discordant sound. Ogre conceived of and recorded all of his lyrics in

2967-403: The illness has passed and the person is immune to further infection. IgG antibodies to HAV are also found in the blood following vaccination , and tests for immunity to the virus are based on the detection of these antibodies. During the acute stage of the infection, the liver enzyme alanine transferase (ALT) is present in the blood at levels much higher than is normal. The enzyme comes from

Much like the album's production, its launch was fraught with issues. Initial pressings of the disc in Australia were flawed in that the track divisions were off by four seconds, meaning

3105-607: The initial infection. About 90% of children do not have symptoms. The time between infection and symptoms, in those who develop them, is two–six weeks, with an average of 28 days. The risk for symptomatic infection is directly related to age, with more than 80% of adults having symptoms compatible with acute viral hepatitis and the majority of children having either asymptomatic or unrecognized infections. Symptoms usually last less than 2 months, although some people can be ill for as long as 6 months: Joint pains , red cell aplasia , pancreatitis and generalized lymphadenopathy are

3174-634: The initiation of translation. The requirement for this factor results in an inability to shut down host protein synthesis , unlike other picornaviruses. The virus must then inefficiently compete for the cellular translational machinery, which may explain its poor growth in cell culture . Aragonès et al. (2010) theorize that the virus has evolved a naturally highly deoptimized codon usage with respect to that of its cellular host in order to negatively influence viral protein translation kinetics and allow time for capsid proteins to fold optimally. No apparent virus-mediated cytotoxicity occurs, presumably because of

3243-503: The liver cells damaged by the virus. Hepatovirus A is present in the blood ( viremia ) and feces of infected people up to 2 weeks before clinical illness develops. Hepatitis A can be prevented by vaccination , good hygiene , and sanitation . The two types of vaccines contain either inactivated Hepatovirus A or a live but attenuated virus. Both provide active immunity against a future infection. The vaccine protects against HAV in more than 95% of cases for longer than 25 years. In

3312-440: The liver, where it multiplies within hepatocytes and Kupffer cells (liver macrophages). Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the virus to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis . Replication follows the positive-stranded RNA virus replication model. Translation takes place by viral initiation. The virus exits the host cell by lysis and viroporins . Virions are secreted into

3381-571: The manufacturing of the sounds they did. They had collected that over a period of two months. So there’s a lot of work where people might think ‘oh, that’s just a synthesizer or a patch.’ But it's actually several hundred synthesizer patches." In May 1992, Skinny Puppy embarked on a North American tour with Godflesh and Thought Industry as opening acts. The stage show for Last Rights was less overtly violent and grotesque than on previous Skinny Puppy tours, focusing instead on coming to terms with negative emotions. During 1990's Too Dark Park tour,

3450-481: The mood that Ogre's in when he's around. [...] However unpopular the sound may be, and very not inviting and just so ugly... It was uglier than I thought." — Dwayne Goettel reflecting on the sound of Last Rights . Often described as Skinny Puppy's darkest and most experimental work, Last Rights is a notably heavy, bleak, and dense album. It still retains the band's electro-industrial roots and even has some dance aspects, but those elements give way to

3519-408: The percussion at the beginning of the song "seems to be created through the combination of an explosion and a gunshot". Though almost all of the industrial metal influence that Al Jourgensen brought into Skinny Puppy with the 1989 album Rabies is absent on Last Rights , "Knowhere?" includes slow, chugging electric guitar buried beneath the distorted drums and shrieked vocals. The track peaks at

3588-512: The performance of "Left Handshake" at the end of each show, the Guiltman combined imagery of drug abuse and deformed sexuality to represent Ogre at the lowest point of addiction. On June 8, 1992, at a concert in Boston , a number of people in the crowd jumped on stage and stole some of Ogre's props. Gore pursued a thief and was himself punched by a security guard. Gore, who had difficulty breathing after

3657-404: The performance, represented his addiction and eventually came to mutate him. The backing film was timed so that whenever Ogre entered the machine, his face would appear onscreen and the audience could watch as something attacked and tortured him. Each time Ogre emerged from the apparatus, he would be altered. Gore also designed an elaborate full-body suit known as the Guiltman. Only appearing for

Hepatovirus A is a species of virus in the order Picornavirales , family Picornaviridae , genus Hepatovirus . Humans and other vertebrates serve as natural hosts of this genus. Nine members of Hepatovirus are recognized. These species infect bats , rodents , hedgehogs , and shrews . Phylogenetic analysis suggests

3795-417: The post-production of Last Rights than on any other Skinny Puppy album, specifically on noisy and complicated songs like "Scrapyard" and "Download". Many of the songs on the second half of Last Rights are either instrumental or feature protracted instrumental segments. According to Key, Ogre intended to finish more vocals than he did, but the state of him and the band cut the sessions short. Ogre reached

3864-455: The rates of infection with this virus are high and the illness is usually contracted in early childhood. As incomes rise and access to clean water increases, the incidence of HAV decreases. In developed countries, though, the infection is contracted primarily by susceptible young adults, most of whom are infected with the virus during trips to countries with a high incidence of the disease or through contact with infectious persons. Although HAV

Meanwhile, Gore was designing and fabricating the tour's many props and Ogre's many costumes. The two main elements, a virtual reality machine and a spinning display of severed heads called the Tree of No Cares, were set up on either side of the stage. The VR apparatus, into which Ogre occasionally went throughout

4002-456: The simian about 3600 years ago. The mean age of genotypes III and IIIA strains has been estimated to be 592 and 202 years, respectively. Hepatovirus A is a picornavirus ; it is not enveloped and contains a positive-sense, single-strand of RNA packaged in a protein shell . Only one serotype of the virus has been found, but multiple genotypes exist. Codon use within the genome is biased and unusually distinct from its host. It also has

4071-484: The song "Knowhere?", and after contracting Hepatitis A , Ogre decided to drop narcotics and check himself into rehab . He remained there until Skinny Puppy embarked on a tour of North America. Following the release of Last Rights (which Ogre considered a document of his collapse) and its subsequent tour, Ogre was clean and the band was functioning, but the future of Skinny Puppy remained unclear. Last Rights' production encountered more problems when its tenth track

4140-436: The studio with minimal planning. He considered the vocals a "train of consciousness" that powerfully reflected him in the moment. Key and Goettel also recorded their part of the music in-studio; about the process, Key said, "I think with [ Last Rights ], it was our opportunity to just let the album create itself by the collective energies involved". Because the band had access to new equipment, Key and Goettel spent more time on

In April 2016, frozen berries sold by Costco were once again the subject of a recall, after at least 13 people in Canada were infected with HAV, three of whom were hospitalized. In Australia in February 2015, a recall of frozen berries was issued after at least 19 people contracted the illness following their consumption of

4416-426: The virus' own requirement for an intact eIF4G, and liver pathology is likely immune-mediated. The virus primarily spreads by the fecal–oral route , and infections often occur in conditions of poor sanitation and overcrowding. Hepatitis A can be transmitted by the parenteral route , but very rarely by blood and blood products. Food-borne outbreaks are common, and ingestion of shellfish cultivated in polluted water

4485-674: The world with poor sanitation and not enough safe water. In the developing world , about 90% of children have been infected by age 10, thus are immune by adulthood. It often occurs in outbreaks in moderately developed countries where children are not exposed when young and vaccination is not widespread. Acute hepatitis A resulted in 11,200 deaths in 2015. World Hepatitis Day occurs each year on July 28 to bring awareness to viral hepatitis . Early symptoms of hepatitis A infection can be mistaken for influenza , but some people, especially children, exhibit no symptoms at all.
