===Reunion, ''The Greater Wrong of the Right'' and ''Mythmaker'' (2000–2008)===
In August 2000, Ogre and Key reunited and performed live as Skinny Puppy for the first time since 1992, at [[Doomsday Festival]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=There and Back: Celebrating 15 Years of Artists Who Shaped A.P.|magazine=Alternative Press|date=September 2000|issue=146|url=http://litany.net/interviews/ap0900.html|access-date=13 December 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509221207/http://litany.net/interviews/ap0900.html|archive-date=9 May 2013}}</ref> The show was meant to be a continuation of the ''Last Rights'' tour, with the stage design taking influence from those performances. Rather than find a replacement for Goettel, the band simply left the keyboard station on stage empty.<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Maciol|first1=Alexander|title=Skinny Puppy: Focus Dresden|magazine=Orkus|date=June 2000|url=http://litany.net/interviews/orkus-doomsday-ck.html|access-date=13 December 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509214613/http://litany.net/interviews/orkus-doomsday-ck.html|archive-date=9 May 2013}}</ref> The performance was filmed and recorded, and a live album,  ''[[Doomsday: Back and Forth Series 5: Live in Dresden]]'', was released in 2001; a DVD release was planned but canceled by Nettwerk.<ref name="SPdiscography" /> Live clips of "Testure" and "Worlock" as well as a behind the scenes interview with the band were broadcast on ''Crazy Clip TV'' in Germany<ref>{{cite episode |title=Doomsday Festival 2000 |series=Crazy Clip TV |date=September 2000 |number=39}}</ref> and "Worlock" was included on a [[Video CD|VCD]] compilation by German magazine ''Sonic Seducer'' in 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=VCD Compilation|magazine=Sonic Seducer|date=September 2002|issue=50}}</ref>

Key joined ohGr on drums for its 2001 tour, while Ogre appeared on the track "Frozen Sky" on Key's 2001 album ''[[The Ghost of Each Room]]''. When asked by ''[[Terrorizer (magazine)|Terrorizer]]'' magazine about the future of Skinny Puppy, Key responded:

<blockquote> Our goals for the future are to combine everything, take the best of what we can do with Ogre, and the best of what we have from our past, as well as the future stuff that we can do, and put it into one touring situation which I'm sure will stroll back into bloodville.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Through the Key Hole|magazine=Terrorizer|date=December 2001|issue=95|url=http://litany.net/interviews/terror-key.html|access-date=14 December 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308032744/http://www.litany.net/interviews/terror-key.html|archive-date=8 March 2016}}</ref></blockquote>The first new Skinny Puppy track in several years, "Optimissed", appeared on the [[Underworld (soundtrack)|''Underworld'']] soundtrack in 2003.<ref name="Underworld">{{cite web|title=Underworld (Original Soundtrack): Credits|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/underworld-original-soundtrack-mw0000693019/credits|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=14 December 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221034537/http://www.allmusic.com/album/underworld-original-soundtrack-mw0000693019/credits|archive-date=21 December 2016}}</ref>
