Doubting Thomas is an industrial band formed by two members of Skinny Puppy: cEvin Key and the late Dwayne Goettel.[1][2] Although considered a Skinny Puppy side project, nearly all the group's music is instrumental.[3] The band shares its name with an American roots band, to whom they have no relation.

Key and Goettel began recording together in 1987. As Doubting Thomas they released an album and an EP in 1991.[4] The duo continued to record occasionally until 1994; Goettel died in 1995.
