Topic: Some Industrial Bands.
Posted: October 25 2013 at 22:21

Not many people will like any of these bands I fear, but maybe someone will vote/listen to the samples.

I've selected some of my personnel favorite bands from the whole Industrial scene, from Industrial Metal to Power Electronics.

Some samples. Picked songs that were the best at representing the Industrial sound.

Nine Inch Nails.

Going to have to give it to Esplendor Geometrico. Repetitive, lo-fi, and harsh rhythms ftw.

You should listen to early Stabbing Westward if you want poppy-ish bleak industrial rock with tribal drumming and whiny vox.

I've listened to a little of their stuff. Honestly not really a fan of this style of Industrial though, I prefer the much more abrasive and heavy stuff. NIN is about the only one that isn't heavy that I like.

I vote for Laibach, the band who came from the small town of Trbovlje in Slovenia (Ex-Yugoslavia) that they become the one of the greatest industrial rock acts on the world. As a kid I watch them live at their legendary Belgrade's gigs five years before they get that very important recognition from Great Britain by Mute Records who has released their Opus Dei the album (1987), which is still to be my favourite album by Laibach.

I've not listened to very much industrial, but I never seem to like any of the songs I've heard nearly as much as I like Einsturzende Neubauten.

What, no Killing Joke? Or are they too close to punk to count? My vote goes to either Swans or Throbbing Gristle, then... maybe NON depending on how I'm feeling.

I would think so, and I just noticed...White Zombie. WTF! Their last album had a lil' bit of an industrial influence (because that sound was hip at the time), but that's it. No industrial on their first two albums.

Lots of good choices here. Although I was a fan of Ministry and NIN I don't consider either 'real' industrial as neither started out doing industrial stuff; both started out as synth-pop. I ended up voting for Einsturzende Neubauten.

Oh, and where's Skinny Puppy?

1. Swans

2. Neubauten

3. Throbbing Gristle

Many of these groups I haven't heard, though, I will check them out. Thanks for the samples.

I think if Godflesh and Ministry are on there then KJ should be too, but I guess you always have to draw the line somewhere. Hell, I'm pretty sure including guitar-based acts at all is controversial enough to some...

It's really an "apples and oranges" type poll, so I'm throwing my vote for NON since of the listed bands it's the one I've been listening the most to recently.

I don't know any of Swans "industrial" output. I'm going for Front Line Assembly for the quite good Tactical Neural Implant. I also got their latest, Echogenetic, which is pretty good as well.
NIN is good as well, but I'll let others vote them.

Heh sorry, but I only included acts I liked and well, I don't like Killing Joke, Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Voltaire, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and so on.

Hmm, I dunno. White Zombie is pretty well considered a cross between Industrial and Heavy Metal.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/White_Zombie/850

But yeah I included many acts that weren't true industrial or only were for a little bit of time, because why not.

I also left off some bands I really, really like such as Die Form, Muslimgauze, Brighter Death Now, Lustmord, Z'ev, and many more.
