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.
New album out October ‘08.

I have a question folks: Was anybody here able to download these http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4552458/3_albums_by_ohGr_plus_some_extras_#filelistContainer on rapidshare or so? I've been looking for hours and found nothing. Because I only need the extras (DIMD Live Jam, Interview and Descent II). Or can anyone upload it on megaupload or [spam] :( Or does anyone of you have a Pirate Bay account and tell the uploader to upload it again elsewhere? I'm sure you'd like to have it too if you don't own the stuff....
