ohGr is a band formed by nivek ogre, of Skinny Puppy, and musician/engineer Mark Walk. Although the pedigree of the group’s members might suggest otherwise, ohGr is not strictly an industrial group, as it draws from elements of synth-pop/electro-pop, metal, and even hip hop.
Unlike Ogre’s earlier Skinny Puppy work, ohGr has a more conventional structure to its music as well as a lighter tone, lyrically and musically.
The band was officially formed in 2001, although the material for the first album, Welt dates back to the mid-nineties, having been held up due to legal trouble with American Records. The first work produced by the band was actually the soundtrack for the computer game ‘Descent II’, but it was a number of years before their first album was released. Welt was originally the title of the group, a long standing acronym from early Skinny Puppy years when, shortly after Bill Leeb (of Front Line Assembly) left the band, Ogre graffitied “Wilhelm Eats Lunch Today” around Vancouver due to their then-acrimonious split. It was then refined to the less antagonistic “When Everyone Learns Truth”. It was later discovered that in the interval, the name had been taken by a Californian punk band.
ohGr’s third album titled Devils In My Details was released on October 17th, 2008 in Germany, October 20th in the United Kingdom, and October 21st in the United States.

Undeveloped is that kind of thing which you don't begin to adore immediately, but as you listen to it more and more, you realize that it's great. And that's what I like most of all - to discover Ogre's music.

i'm addicted to unDeveloped. i've read the song interpretations on songmeanings and i must admit it got me a bit depressed... but in a good way. i've never gotten into an ohGr album like this before.

DIMD was an odd and not entirely appreciated change of sound for me, the album had its share of good tracks but I rarely revisit the record anymore. UnDeveloped is great, though, and probably the most consistent since Welt. SunnyPsyOp was terrific as well, although it had a bit more filler in my opinion

DiMD is super awesome. It has such a great atmosphere to it... the mastering is part of its charm. Took me a while to warm up to it, but it's fantastic and totally unique. UnDeveloped is very good as well, but a lot more traditional sounding for the project.

As bad as DIMD was it was still better than Undeveloped (although it's title is rather fitting). Still, the only Ohgr records worth actually owning are WELT and Sunnypsyop of course.

Love the fact that unDeveloped tracks are still the most listened, while DIMD went off charts 2 months after its release.
