I figured we have a metal thread, which is pretty nice in its own.
Why not have an Industrial music thread.
Industrial music for those that are unaware, is the delicate mixing of Metal, Noise, Heavy Sampling, Electronic Beats, and in the earlier days of Industrial, Voice Synthesizers.
Early industrial bands include Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and NON (this is taken from Wiki) and were pretty much looped beats and scattered noise.
Industrial later evolved into a more harder scene with a flair for darker and grittier influences, with lyrics ranging from BSDM to mutilations. Not to be confused with the BSDM scene of the Goth culture of the 80s, industrial was very much more "extreme" and less about the "depression".
Flash forward a few, and industrial now has "subcultures and genres" under their belt, there is now the following.
Metal Industrial: Guitar based industrial with heavier influences from well..metal - Bands like some NIN, Ministry, Die Krupps, and Razed in Black.
EBM: More of a trancier version of industrial, has lots of synths and less emphasis on the guitars. Mostly when you go to a club on Industrial Night, this is what you are mostly going to hear due to the pure dancability of this subgenre - Bands like VnV Nation, Front Line Assembly, Apoptygma Berzerk, and Coil.
Traditional Industrial - Bands like Skinny Puppy, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Throbbing Gristle, NON, Coil and Ministry.
Albums to look for if you are curious about Industrial are as follows.
Skinny Puppy - Mind the Perpetual Intercourse
Ministry - A Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
KMFDM - Symbols
VnV Nation - Futureperfect
Suicide Commando - Axis of Evil

C89.5 has an industrial show weekends, which rocks.
when i had a radio show, the dude before me did the industrial show.
I am a big fan of industrial, provided i'm in the mood for it.
(Although I dislike the groups which just try to make painful-to-listen-to music).
VNV Nation, NiN, Front Line Assembly, Apoptygma Berzerk, Velvet Acid Christ, Meat Beat Manifesto are all big favorites of mine.
Fatherland is such a good song.
I have tickets to see Ministry in May. I can't wait. I'm also going to see Seabound and Iris at the end of March. Not really industrial I don't think, but they fit in with the likes of Apop B. and VNV.
A local club just had a KMFDM v. Combichrist night, but I didn't go 'cause it was too fucking cold to leave my apartment. I'm kinda sad.
but it's been a while
The show was fucking great
shit, i may just queue up a whole bunch of industrial tonight
I'd be nice if they'd hurry up and fucking go on tour again. I really don't give a shit about their new remix album.
Kapt'n K said there's going to be big news released on their anniversary this year.
I'm hoping it's some kind of tour with PIG involved.
with our cocks out
There was some dude there with something like 2 foot high platform boots. I wanted to push him over.
As do Skinny Puppy, I have seen SP three times live and each time I was blown away.
I would love to see Combichrist and Terrorfakt live one day, right now those are my two favorite industrial bands at the moment, without ignoring NIN.
It was alright, but I was really disappointed.
I think their earlier work would fit nicely in the industrial category, mostly Pretty Hate Machine in the EBM category and Broken on in the metal industrial category.
Of course this does not apply to bands such as Marylin Manson who nine tenths of music shops like to put in the industrial section.
I agree, the last tour I saw was the Greater Good tour, as I dont think (I could be totally wrong) the Myth tour has hit Cali yet.
That tour was decent, but you can really tell the band has gotten old with age, and the drug use has caught up with them hard.
The Mind the Perpetual Intercourse tour and the Rabies tour was by far some of the best live shows that SP has ever...ever put on.
for shame.
well of course
RevCo is great. Their cover of "Do You Think I'm Sexy" is one of the best things.
Also Beers Steers and Queers is such an awesome song
For NIN it was Closer, I think for VnV it would be Beloved. I think everyone whether they like industrial or not will say they like Beloved.
Assemblage 23 was suppose to come to my town last year, but they had big problems securing a venue. I was sad.
Front Line Assembly did play here last year, and it was one of the best shows I saw.
it is one of my most favorite tracks in the world
It's got the best mix of drums and synth I've ever heard.
yes.
oh yes.
Fact.
Legion is my favorite VNV nation track.
Also FOR SHAME no one has mentioned Front 242, the progenitors and masters of EBM...

oh really?
I like this thread.
That album right there, along with Skinny Puppy: Mind the Perpetual Intercourse, were my first foray into industrial.
This was of course when I was a "New Waver" as Goth wasnt invented yet, and there were a total of three "New Wavers" including me at the school I went to.
Ahhh the 80's were so fucking awesome.
Yeah, I do miss them 80's.
Ministry: Land of Rape and Honey, and Twitch. Holy crap.
Also, Filthpig is an underrated album.
Funny thing about Ministry is their earlier stuff (With Sympathy) sounds remarkably like Depeche Mode
Then bampf they went metal industrial, it was the weirdest transition and the coolest transition ever.
Al Jorgensen is qouted as saying (in regards to 'With Sympathy'): "That album was an abortion."
