Do the pet shop boys count?

yes




only band that I have ever listen to that I would class as "industrial" is Shihad. Churn and killjoy

I loved Ministry
Saw them live way back when the had Louis Svitek (ex M.O.D) on guitar he was awsome
Rammstein would be up there for me too as well as Therapy

Around that time i was smoking so much weed and drinking Hooch that anything live would do lol

I was into Fear Factory (Demanufacture mostly) in a big way in my late teens/early 20's and it still sees the odd play every now and then. I have also enjoyed KMFDM, White/Rob Zombie, Powerman 5000 and a few others, surprisingly I never really got into NIN. Never really gave them a decent chance.

This is probably one of my favourite 'more poppy' industrial songs of the 90s. Class.

I loved industrial rock back in the 80s, the intensity of it. I really liked SPK, especially a cassette of theirs called The Last Attempt At Paradise which I used to play a lot on the walkman. I also liked the Cabaret Voltaire "Drinking Gasoline" double EP, or whatever it was.

Vince is talking about the Industrial music that I relate to from the late 70s, early 80s. SPK, Cab Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Einstürzende Neubauten.

Yep, Drinking Gasoline was a double 12". It was great stuff, as was the earlier 2x45 in the same format.

I've been trying to get my hand on 'skinny puppy skinned' which is a sound library of all their sounds and such. Adam curtis used it a bit in some of his soundtracks to his docos.

yeah I did have that one, I'll have a dig around I might still h ave it on one of the drives.

Doubly keen if you can hook us up too Beeg!!! <3

This thread is relevant to my somewhat dated interests.

Kinda got turned onto the industrial rock thing through Pretty Hate Machine (NIN) and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Taste (Ministry). Then got into Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly and KMFDM. Locally, Shihad's Churn was decent as and turned me onto Killing Joke and Godflesh and Swans.

I went backwards from there into Industrial stuff (Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Test Dept, Einstürzende Neubauten, Foetus)

With the advent of the WWW, I got into a lot of the American coldwave stuff, like 16 Volt, Chemlab and Decree.

I think a big door for many of us into a few more bands were soundtracks, Mortal Kombat (KMFDM, Fear Factory, Gravity Kills), The Crow (Machines of Loving Grace, NIN, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult), The Matrix (Marilyn Manson, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Rammstein). The Woodstock 94 compilation turned a lot of people onto NIN

Industrial/Post-Industrial/Noise stuff is still my main sphere of interest to this day. I currently play in a post-industrial metal band, an electro-industrial/triphop/alternative type thing (hard to figure that one out), a pure harsh noise duo, a White Zombie/Rob Zombie tribute band and a new thing bubbling around that will hopefully combine a bit of Scorn, Avotor and Coil (this is still in a very conceptual stage, had one live show but it was appalling, hah)

ps. I also have the Skinny Puppy Skinned CD sample library, anyone that wants it chuck me a pm and I'll give you a download link.

I was never hugely into Industrial stuff, but had flatmates and friends who were hugely into Godflesh, Fear Factory, Ministry, NIN etc so I heard a lot of it. I did get massively into Churn though and had a couple of Einstürzende Neubauten albums I really liked. I actually saw Swans in New York about 18 months ago (even though I hadn't heard much of them before) and they were incredible, one of the best shows I've ever seen.

yes yes yes... of course! The Mortal Kombat and Matrix soundtracks especially were so good back in the day.

Youth code are worth checking out if you like skinny puppy, they're heavily influenced....

Late to this thread, everything I would have said has basically been said. +1 to the soundtracks comment - also from video games. C&C anyone?

I have made a bit of a playlist on Spotify. Not probably all strictly industrial, but... https://open.spotify.com/user/123153384 ... TydEKk5XK5

yeah, Trent doing Quake was pretty cool. Funnily enough, my industrial/metal band has done a cover of Red Alert's Hell March a couple of times. Kinda a mash up of Hell March 1 and Hell March 2. Fun tune.
