Holter began writing mainstream pop songs the same year they released their last album. It contained their biggest underground hit, “Do You Feel the Same.” I’m not sure if Necro Facility will ever produce another album, but it seems unlikely. Necro Facility’s final album, Wintermute, was one of my favorite releases of 2011. They had a pretty solid three-album run that saw them evolve from a Skinny Puppy clone into a fairly innovative hybrid of industrial and electropop. In the early 2000s, Holter formed Necro Facility with Henrik Bäckström.

He’s also written and produced tons of other pop songs for mainstream artists: Oscar Holter is a Swedish record producer who co-wrote and co-produced “Blinding Lights” along with pop mastermind Max Martin and The Weeknd. The gauzy title track heavily samples Siouxsie and the Banshees’ 1980 single “Happy House,” while the song “ The Knowing” samples Cocteau Twin’s 1990 track “Cherry-Coloured Funk.” A few years later, he interpolated The Smiths on an unreleased song called “ Enemy.” Who is Oscar Holter? In 2011, he released his debut mixtape, House of Balloons.

The Weeknd’s earlier music had a definitive goth angle. That difficult subject matter has led some to describe him as “the Depeche Mode of R&B.” His songs frequently cover topics like sex, drugs, loneliness, shame. His music blends a bunch of disparate musical influences into a unique style that’s been called alternative R&B, synth-funk, nu-disco, and lots of other mixed-up genre names. He’s a mysterious, brooding figure from Toronto whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.
