Born in Røros, Norway, Helge Sten began creating music under the moniker Deathprod as an ongoing and open-ended project. Releasing a selection of his work from during this period in 2004 - 'Deathprod'. The collection contains three albums worth of compositions, along with a bonus disc of previously unreleased, rare, and deleted tracks. Sten is usually credited with "Audio Virus", a catchall term for "homemade electronics, old tape echo machines, ring modulators, filters, theremins, samplers and lots of electronic stuff." Aside from solo production, Sten mixed and mastered tracks and albums across a spectra of Norwegian music, including the cult classic 'PB' by fellow Røros native Per Bergersen. Sten is a member of Supersilent and works as a producer on many releases on the Norwegian label Rune Grammofon. He has also produced Motorpsycho and has worked with Biosphere on an Arne Nordheim tribute album called Nordheim Transformed.
