Side project of
Skinny Puppy frontman
Ogre with
Mark Walk. Originally the band was to be named
WELT (When Everyone Learns the Truth), but another band got the name before the project came to fruition, so the project was renamed and the first album was titled Welt.
OhGr is more upbeat than Skinny Puppy, and features a lot of blippy and beepy synthesizer textures which are reminiscent of '80s pop music. However, in the May/June 2001 touring version of the band, Mark Walk was nowhere to be seen, and the addition of live guitarists and cEvin Key on drums gives the band more of a hard-rock feel.
