Ohgr - genius

OK, so this title of this post either:

1. States the obvious, or
2. Makes absolutely NO sense.

If you answered 1., read no further. But for the rest of you, Ohgr is none other than Nivek Ogre, the frontman of Skinny Puppy, who pretty much invented the electronic/industrial sub-genre. In my opinion, the "old" Skinny Puppy made very different music from what they make now, and I like their newer stuff better. Ohgr has made some music on his own - his new album Devils in my details, is on everyone's top 10 for this genre, but a great place to start is his kick-ass album Welt. Its from 2001, and I've been listening to it non-stop.

Oh, one more thing. If you are deeply disturbed by his album cover, there's a good chance you may not *quite* like the music. Just a heads up.
