Industrial Music

Industrial Music was created in the late 70s, just shortly after the creation of Punk. It has now become a meta-genre with many subgenres in it (including Industrial Metal, EBM, Electro-Industrial, etc).

Are there any fans of Industrial Music here? Let's talk about this genre. It's one of my faves!

Who are some of your favorite artists? What do you think of this genre? In many ways, it's a lot like Metal, in that it goes against popular culture in it's core values.

I dig some Industrial Metal,  Generation, Circle of Dust

Remember that compilation Metamorphisis?

Yes! That was a great comp!!!

Yes it was

Gotta be in the mood for it but havent listened to any in eons...

Industrial metal here too.  Circle of Dust, especially the re-record of the s/t album and Brainchild are the pinnacle of that to me.  I don't know many other good Christian bands though.  Mortal and Aleixa were good too.

I forgot about Generation.  Good stuff but I don't listen much (cassette copy and only one place in the house to listen to that format).

I always enjoyed many of the artists released or distributed by Cold Meat Industry. A few of my favorites are:

Sanctum
Azure Skies
Mago
Atrium Carceri
Raison d'etre
Letum
In Slaughter Natives
Desiderii Marginis

Industrial is one of those genres that I enjoy but I don't really know enough about to have bands/artists I enjoy.

My faves in this genre are:

1. Razed in Black (this is one of my ALL TIME favorite bands, and my ALL TIME fave Industrial band)

2. Front 242

3. Nine Inch Nails

4. Nitzer Ebb

5. Rammstein

That would be my top 5. Then:

6. Cabaret Voltaire
7. KMFDM
8. The Tea Party
9. Bigod 20
10. Circle of Dust
11. Klank
12. Celldweller
13. Lords of Acid

I like Zero+onE who is industrial Black metal and I also like Final Vortex which is industrial darkwave.

Zero+onE is really, really good when I'm in the right mood.

Deitiphobia. I really gotta be in the mood for them though.

I forgot about that band! That is some GREAT STUFF!!! I used to have their stuff back in the day, but I loaned it out and never got it back. Oh well. I need to replace all my Deitiphobia CDs!

I love Industrial and am always glad to see a thread about it, which is usually every 6 months or so around here.

Chatterbox's Despite is a pretty sweet industrial release.

I also have both of Under Midnight's releases as well as Circle of Dust/Argyle Park, kLaNk, early Mortal, etc. I like industrial quite a bit.

That's awesome dude! I like all the albums you mentioned!

Industrial is a genre Ive never really gotten into, the only bands I really have ever listened to are Mortal and a band I just discovered called Virginia Creeper. Virginia Creeper is pretty awesome I had no idea what to expect, glad I gave it a shot, once again thank you Spotify.

Mortal, Argyle Park, Chatterbox, Under Midnight, some Circle of Dust. Basically, a bunch of 90s artists. Kind of hard for me to leave that era.

Best Christian industrial album ever??? It's gonna be tough, but as of this very moment, I'll pick "Lusis" by Mortal.

Good one!  I just finally picked up Void about two months ago.

"Lusis" is indeed a very good album! Mortal's best by far!!!



My favorite Christian Industrial album would be Circle of Dust - S/T ... something about that classic album that I love!!! They never quite matched it again - nor did Celldweller.

Mortal's Nu-En-Jin is extremely good but not too much left of the early industrial sphere they used to have.

I've never heard that album from them. Wasn't that their last before they broke up?



Too bad they broke up. They could be making great music today!

Yes, it was their last.
Jerome is in Switchfoot.

OH wow I had no idea he was in Switchfoot! I remember hearing another band they had started: Fold Zandura (I even have one of their albums - and it's pretty good). Is Switchfoot any good? I've only heard of them.

Yeah if you like lighter alt-rock. I like Switchfoot every once and a while.
