Industrial

What are some of your favorite industrial bands?

They can be industrial metal, industrial/ebm, whatever! But they have to be at least 'part' industrial.

My faves are:

Leaether Strip
KMFDM
Circle of Dust/Brainchild
Klank
Front 242
Nine Inch Nails (first album)
Frontline Assembly
Deitiphobia
Mortal
Nitzer Ebb
Ministry

My favorite industrial band was a band called Deliverance. They only came out with one album named Assimilation. Good stuff.

Godflesh, Ministry, Fear Factory, Pitch Shifter, Electric Hellfire Club, Misery Loves Company, The Genitorturers, Treponem Pal, Monster Voodoo Machine, Head Of David, Skrew... probably others i can't remember now.

I'd venture to say that it's a better album than "As Above/So Below" too.

Generation = Brutal Reality
Various= Metamorphsis

For now thats all I can think of lol

Nice! Two of my favs are Misery Loves Company and Monster Voodoo Machine! Great bands. I'm surprised you know them, honestly.

Die Krupps is another favorite of mine.

Not much into industrial.I do like a few:
Circle of Dust
Klank
Fear Factory

Like both of these. Metamorphasis was basically a project of Scott Albert of Circle of Dust (or whatever name he is going by these days). I like the first Circle of Dust CD quite a bit. Also, the Brainstorm - Mindwarp CD which was Circle of Dust under a different name. Later pressing were released as Circle of Dust - Brainstorm. I prefer the later. This CD was like Industrial Thrash Metal. Great stuff.

Also:
Argyle Park (their first)
Mortal (their first two CDs)
Chatterbox

I liked a lot of it, but not for awhile. The one that stands out is Murder Inc.
And didn't Jimmie B. Brown make some kind of techno CD once? I forgot the name but it was pretty funny.

My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult
KMFDM
Ministry
Skrew
Godflesh
1,000 Homo DJs

Skrew! Another good one. I'd forgotten about them. Solid band.

Never really cared for this genre. I like some tunes from NIN and Ministry, but never enough to purchase a full cd. I guess the closest thing to industrial that I own is a few Marilyn Manson cd's, if those count.

yeah, i'd say Marilyn Manson counts as Industrial. i also forgot to mention Stabbing Westward.

I did like Mortal, but that was as far as I went.

I've like some but not much. Some bands of that genre I've liked are (ones I own albums from in red):

NIN
Mortal
Killing Joke (influenced many industrial bands)
Ministry
Godflesh
Deliverance-Assimilation
Fear Factory (death metal w/ industrial overtones)
Rackets & Drapes
Eva O
Under Midnight
Kekal (black metal w/ industrial overtones)
Samael (ditto)

Good call. Except the last CD, the self-titled. Not industrial at all. "I Remember," however, is possibly my favorite song from them. Love that tune (and, yeah, I know it's gay).

You guys have listed some great stuff!

Dallas, I love Rackets and Drapes!

I thought Rackets and Drapes were "goth".

This thread inspired me to dig out my MORTAL - Lusis CD today.

Ult, "Lusis" is one of my favorite albums!!!

About Rackets and Drapes, IMO they are like a cross between goth and industrial. True goth is pretty organic. R&D mix a lot of industrial elements.

I'd call them goth/industrial. Just me.

Mortal was a'ight I guess. I never went whole hog for the Industrial scene tho.

Shotgun Messiah's third album ("VIOLENT NEW BREED") was about as "industrial" as I ever got.

I can't believe I forgot one of my all time favorites:

SKINNY PUPPY!!!


:headbang

I was just wearing my Skinny Puppy Tshirt the other day.

Also a few more:

Switchblade Symphony (darkwave/industrial)
Ohgr
Collide (goth/industrial)
Tapping the Vein (more goth, but still)

and

starting with their 3rd album, Depeche Mode incorporated a lot of industrial stuff in their stuff as well. Though I would not consider them 'industrial', a lot of people do.

I like Fear Factory alot.

fear factory are the only band i know really of the genre and they are quite good from what i have heard

I've never really considered Fear Factory an industrial band.

MONSTER VOODOO MACHINE were fantastic live.....

some industrial/electronical acts Shiney digs:

THE FAINT
I AM SPOONBENDER
SKINNY PUPPY
GOD IS LSD
VAMPIRE RODENTS
LAIBACH
GENERATION
KRAFTWERK
GODFLESH
