The Slaughterhouse (The Noise/Industrial thread)

(this video isn't on the right volume though, you might wanna turn it up)

Does anyone else here like Power Electronics/Death Industrial? 

A brief definition/history.

PE is an offshoot of the Industrial scene of the late 70's and early 80's, PE can be defined as generally featuring either harsh shrieking feedback, walls of impenetrable or static noise, or a pulsating, throbbing repetitive synth, set to screamed vocals (or just simply screams), and sometimes spoken word or something pilfered from tv or radio. Lyrics are almost always designed to be as shocking as they can be humanly made; racism, misogyny, and any form of depravity is explored, all the way down to the liner notes and artwork, though I would say nearly every band explores these subjects in a tongue in cheek way, being so over the top that it's impossible to take seriously. Death Industrial is essentially the same except generally quieter (which is relative) and less noise inspired, instead being more inspired musically by dark ambient and drone. It's hard to put many groups into one or the other, as they often flip between the two even on a single album.

The term Power Electronics was first used by Whitehouse on the album Psychopathia Sexualis, and they are credited with being the first PE band. Along with Whitehouse, other notable PE bands include Sutcliffe Jugend, Mauthausen Orchestra, Prurient, Con-Dom, Deathpile, The Grey Wolves and Bizarre Uproar.

Artists often considered Death Industrial include Genocide Organ, Brighter Death Now (either could be considered the first DI act imho), Atrax Morgue, and IRM.

Yeah, but out of all they have done, the noise rock/grunge stuff, the psychedelic improvised stuff, I much prefer the Noise/Power Electronic of their early 80's output. I wish their was more of their PE stuff readily available, I've only got Valediction, We Created It Vol III, and Hole In The Heart. I really want to get the other volumes of the We Created It series. The Awake! 8 CD re-release would be awesome to have, but that's way out of my price range...
