After forging a legendary career as the frontman for
seminal industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy, Nivek
Ogre a name synonymous with dark electronica started
his solo project in 2001 with collaborator/producer Mark
Walk. Under the moniker ohGr, the duo has created a
challenging, innovative, and ever-evolving brand of music.
As with the three previous studio albums, Welt (2001),
SunnyPsyOp (2003), and Devils In My Details (2008), the
new album once again finds Nivek Ogre exploring varied
sonic landscapes. Weaving his signature menacing vocals
with haunting atmospherics, electronic modulations,
guitar blasts, and addictive hooks, Undeveloped shows
ohGr at its creative best. It could be due to his expanded
creative outlets; recently Ogre has ventured into acting,
appearing as Pavi Largo in the rock opera film Repo! The
Genetic Opera, and as Harper Alexander in Tim Sullivan s
new comedy-horror film 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams.
It could be another high point in an already illustrious
musical career. It could be another destructive outpouring
of artistic beauty from brilliant madmen. It is all these
things, and more.
