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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dwBgEE0w00 Throbbing Gristle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8klW9trVTQ Einstürzende Neubauten. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZsCvABTX90 Coil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCdrtG9vszU Foetus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeJJR_uMYlQ Ministry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIzyoKsWTA4 KMFDM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MqKTDSZtTQ White Zombie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxQap_3Bj6Q Test Dept. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUxoughdYto Front Line Assembly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S05BhizcHuo Whitehouse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XT3yc8G5s Clock DVA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfMlbZqRQX0 NON. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3aeWHz6Zok Godflesh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naj0hmlDM6s Swans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocrTr56uhyw SPK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w86EdQvNsfU Controlled Bleeding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX01vUAQ5Lo Nurse With Wound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbfxNoYxMhI Laibach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC73Os9NmZE Nocturnal Emissions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbFF-_OnLcE Death In June. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHw8RRb7G0c Current 93. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBvZ4mBhl3c Zoviet France. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsCL8FcEFwM Esplendor Geometrico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yONfdBnvk54 Maurizio Bianchi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPYaM1kSpuA -------------

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.

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. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

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? ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

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... ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

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. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

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.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/white-zombie/?ac=white zombie 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. -------------

Haven't heard much of them. Nine Inch Nails are great, but they're not really on the same industrial scene as Throbbing Gristle. Swans is a very interesting band as well Quite dislike Laibach. ------------- This night wounds time. |

Slightly off-topic: Has anyone else noticed that industrial projects' political loyalties are a pretty surefire predictor of musical style? Openly left-wing bands are usually guitar-based (e. g. Godflesh, Killing Joke, Ministry) whereas the right-wingers tend to base their sound in electronic instrumentation... (e. g. Blood Axis, NON, Organized Resistance) ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Wrong: SPK and Esplendor Geometrico were quite left-wing (we could even label them as Marxists) and never used guitars. Moreover, Death In June is also guitar-based (acoustic guitars, but still guitars) but is a right-wing project. |

Your choices left out my personal favorite industrial band, Severed Heads. Although early records in the late 70's/early 80's were very much industrial they shifted more to pop & dance music by the 1990's. Here's one of their best-known songs... we'll at least among the band's fans anyway, although I think this one charted in their native Australia |

SPK has most definitely used guitars. -------------

There's definitely exceptions, but it does seem like a general trend there's some truth to. To the right-leaning guitar-based industrial bands you can add later Blut Aus Nord by the way (name means "blood from the north" in broken German - hmmm...) and Above the Ruins (Death in June splinter faction way more explicitly political than DIJ ever were). ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

| I was obsessed with Throbbing Gristle in the 80's and owned the entire catalog on LP. Re-bought the stuff on disc in the digital age , but ended up selling many of the less enjoyable titles as time progressed. The 2nd Annual Report was difficult to bare in later years ..however "After Cease To Exist" always gave me the creeps and that was cool. Journey Through A Body and In the Shadow of the Sun are their strangest most nightmarish releases. I took their music as a visionary or a film and was attracted to that, but it's pretty self-explanatory as to why I would feel that way....as T.G. often showed influence off the Berlin School of electronic music style in between all of their other bizzare tape recordings and feedback sounds. Cozy Fanny Tutti's guitar sounded like a vacuum cleaner in "Hamburger Lady" and Chris Carter went for the Berlin sound. The cover of Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits displays a picture of Cozy with bedroom eyes and it's a little Twilight Zone in nature. Something about that picture brings the thought of suspense and mystery. Some foul play image or murder. Something sadistic and the band often wrote about documented cases of horrific crimes seemingly as a warning of the danger existing in the world. But...the way in which they went about doing it created mystery. There was something about them that was very strange and curious. They made you're mind drift into dark places. I never liked "Funeral In Berlin" or any live recording for that matter...but got a thrill out of their studio recordings. I do find "Heathen Earth" laughable and especially in the section where Genesis P.is playing the part of a whore monger attempting to pick up a woman played by Cozy Fanni Tutti. They were like watching a strange independent underground film and even much stranger than Eraserhead. |

Have you tried the live album 32nd Annual Report? It's a live album of them playing through the entire 2nd annual Report, but it blows that one out of the park. You can hear the Berlin School influence quite often in this one imo. -------------

Since when Blut Aus Nord is an industrial band? Furthermore, while I'm not familiar with this band, I've never heard of them as a right-leaning band, in spite of their name... |

I only really enjoy Swans for their non-industrial work(aka everything after Holy Money) so I can't really give them the vote. Gotta go with KMFDM.

Yeah, Blut Aus Nord tends to be seen as an avant-black metal band with mmmmaybe some industrial influences here and there. Furthermore, Blut Aus Nord have made a point of distancing themselves from nationalist black metal bands - they've declared themselves to be more akin to environmentalist black metal guys like Wolves In the Throne Room, who aren't exactly folk that far right enthusiasts are going to happily associate themselves with. Lyrically speaking they seem to have nothing in common with right wing black metal dudes - I mean, they've drawn on Viking imagery here and there but plenty of people have done that who aren't neo-fascists. (The only dude I know who's actually into Norse paganism is married to a Jewish woman and takes an active and enthusiastic interest in her family's religion, for instance.) PS: Wot, no Skinny Puppy?

I'd have voted for Killing Joke if they were on the list, but again I guess it's disputable whether they are a "real" industrial/noise band or just a punk band who happened to influence that scene strongly. In any case, it's thanks to them I got into that entire type of music at all. Wonder if KJ work as well as background music for reading J. G. Ballard as Ministry go with Wm. Gibson by the way. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |
