提起OhGr樂隊(duì)可能沒有多少人知道。但是，它的前身Skinny Puppy可是鼎鼎大名的工業(yè)dance樂隊(duì)。OhGr的制作成員是Skinny Puppy的Nivek Ogre 、Dave Ogilvie 與錄音師Mark Walk（此君曾與pigface合作過）。 不過OhGr的東西和Skinny Puppy時(shí)期比起來有很大的改變。旋律化的失真電子音效代替樂生硬的爆炸性鼓機(jī)。以前Skinny Puppy的音樂背景有各種很復(fù)雜的采樣音效，聽起來也很陰暗、詭異。但OhGr怪雖怪，卻明快、清晰了許多，音色也比較單。有幾首歌的節(jié)奏清楚得甚至可以用吉他扒下來。Ogre的嗓音經(jīng)過處理顯得的很“時(shí)尚”，纖細(xì)、無助、蒼白，卻沒有了Skinny Puppy時(shí)的暴躁。我看過skinny Puppy早期的現(xiàn)場video, Ogre穿了一身十足的punk行頭，皮衣加狗圈?，F(xiàn)在再聽OhGr，Ogre已經(jīng)顯得的老練多了。不知是level up，還是down了?！ ?br />Biography

Nivek Ogre was the snarling voice behind Canada's fierce industrialists Skinny Puppy, and after their demise in 1995, he was already tinkering around with various music projects. Together with producer Mark Walk (Pigface, Ruby), he designed the unit called OhGr. The new moniker, which had been in the works just prior to Skinny Puppy's end, did not see the light of day until the late '90s due to contractual drama with Rick Rubin's American Recordings. Ogre had anticipated releasing the debut album entitled WELT that same year, but music industry politics and egos played into ignoring the record. It wasn't until 1999 that Ogre's legal bindings to the record company expired and WELT was finally rescued. Tracks were revamped and OhGr inked a deal with Spitfire Records instead, and the album was issued in February 2001. Far more positive and motivated compared to the years he spent with Skinny Puppy, Nivek Ogre appeared thrilled with his OhGr and eager to make it worthwhile.
