The song was recorded by PTP, a side project of Jourgensen’s alongside Ministry cohort Paul Barker. Jourgensen explained that he “didn’t even know who he [Ogre] was, but somebody said he was some singer from somewhere, so I just said “hey man, make yourself useful, get in here and sing”.

Many of Ogre’s early songs, specifically from the album Bites, were about his ex-wife. Following Bites, Ogre began to construct more politically and socially minded lyrics such as those for the song “Dig It”, which he says describes “a fight to rise above in the work force/ which can turn into your early grave”. Ogre’s writing would gradually become more “worldly” and “ecology-minded”. Animal rights and environmental degradation would become recurring elements in Skinny Puppy’s music. 1988’s VIVIsectVI, written as “a biting commentary on animal rights”, spawned the single “Testure” which peaked at no. 19 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.
In 1989, Ogre and Jourgensen started the side project W.E.L.T. (When Everyone Learns the Truth). Some material was recorded, but the only song they released was turned into Ministry’s 1996 song “The Fall”, from Filth Pig. During the recording of The Process in Malibu, Ogre befriended Ruby member Mark Walk. They revived the W.E.L.T. project by producing a 14-track album, but this was eventually shelved by their label, American Recordings. Ogre became depressed as a result of the labels decision; he told Exclaim! in 1998 that to relieve the situation, he picked up a book on Pink Floyd and started playing the guitar. “That was really good for me, it was really good therapy. It took hours and hours of time that would have been spent fixating on a problem that there was really nothing I could do about”.

Ogre’s work with Skinny Puppy has primarily been as the lead singer, though he would occasionally contribute work with percussion and synthesizers. The first song he wrote for the group was titled “Canine” and helped establish the philosophy of writing songs about the world as seen through a dog’s eyes. “It was about a dog watching his master beat his wife and then questioning himself – should he be loyal to the man or rip his head off?” Along with Bill Leeb (Wilhelm Shroeder), Ogre and Key produced the EP Remission in 1984 and released it through the newly established Nettwerk label. Next to follow were two full-length albums, Bites in 1985 and Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse in 1986, the latter of which spawned their first single, “Dig It”.
Ogre had also worked with Jourgensen in the industrial group Revolting Cocks, originally as a touring member. Ogre mentioned that he “had a gas” while on tour, referring to it as an initiation; “My brain was rotating about four feet above my head”. He continued to work with the group by providing vocals for their 1990 effort Beers, Steers, and Queers. When Ogre was again invited to tour with the band, he declined, explaining that his friendship with Jourgensen had become strained. “There were a few things that happened between me and him [Jourgensen] that really made me question our whole friendship and his reason for having me down there. So I decided to bow out of the Revolting Cocks tour. If I hadn’t, I would have come back totally addicted to heroin”.
