'''Deathprod''' is the musical pseudonym used by Norwegian artist '''Helge Sten''' (born 26 January 1971)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roughtrade.com/artist/deathprod|title=Deathprod |website=Roughtrade.com|access-date=26 January 2026}}</ref> for his ambient music project. He is married to Norwegian singer Susanna Wallumrød.
==Biography== Sten began creating music under this name starting in 1991, culminating with a box set of most of his recorded work being released in 2004. Simply titled ''Deathprod'', the collection contains three albums along with a bonus disc of previously unreleased, rare, and deleted tracks.
On recordings, 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."<ref>{{cite journal | title = Supersilent: Quiet Stormbringers | journal = Wire | date = February 1999 | url = http://www.geocities.com/notnook/media/wire_supersilent99_eng.htm | accessdate = 2008-07-03|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091026041201/http://geocities.com/notnook/media/wire_supersilent99_eng.htm| url-status = dead |archivedate=2009-10-26}}</ref>
