Industrial

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

Yeah, they were origionally a death metal band (Soul Of A New Machine) and they later incorporated some industrial sounds (Demanufacture) and leaned more towards groove metal. Because of certain elements in their music some people call them industrial or nu-metal, but they are in reallity niether.

I know feck all about Industrial music but is Shotgun Messiah's album "Violent New Breed" classified as an Industrial album ? I love that record.

It definitely has a lot of industrial woven in it. I would call it industrial metal.

I love that album too! I think I mentioned it in an earlier post in this thread. It's a shame it was S.M.'s last record, cuz I thought they were really onto something with that "new sound."

Tim Skold released a self-titled solo album a year or two after VIOLENT NEW BREED that was very similar but not quite as catchy. I've always found industrial music a little too "cold" for my liking. VIOLENT NEW BREED may have had industrial leanings but it still had enough "metal" in it to keep it interesting. Tim's SKOLD album went too far on the "industrial" side and sounded kinda sterile, if that makes any sense.

i didn't consider them industrial, but now that you mention it, they fit well in this thread.

Anyone interested in a sort of Moonspell with industrial sounds?

I reviewed them last year or so. Killer CD! "Silent Cries" even has the singer from Moonspell guesting.

I'd say Strapping Young Lad are at least a bit industrial. Fantastic band.

I reviewed the album HERE, if you're interested.

Decapitate - you've got the coolest list here!



I'm surprised you've heard of Lead into Gold. Most have not heard them. Good stuff.

Eyesore, thanks.

Thanks man.

Yeah, I only know Lead into Gold because I'm a huge fan of Ministry and all the side-project bands they formed in the late 80s early 90s (Acid Horse, 1000 Homo DJs, Lard, Pailhead, etc.)

I just remembered two more industrial bands from the 90s that I really, really love -- And One and Machines of Loving Grace. Their stuff is up there with some of the classics by Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM. Don't know how I forgot them.

Is Lead into Gold a side-project from Alain Jourgenson? I had no idea. I really like what I heard of them, but own none of their albums. Another band I really want to get though.

And One is quite good. As is Machines of Loving Grace.


A few more I'll mention, though they are more EBM:

Seabound (ever heard them Decap? I think you'd like them ... a bit like And One)

and

VNV Nation

Lead into Gold is a side-project by Paul Barker who was in Ministry for many years.

Never heard Seabound (I like that name tho) but I've heard VNV Nation. They weren't too bad. I really don't listen to much current industrial -- don't know why really -- it just doesn't capture me the way the 80s/early to mid 90s sound does.

What do you think of KMFDM's new one? It really is a return to form for me IMO. It sounds like some of their early 90s stuff.

I haven't heard their new one yet . But based on your rec I might have to check it out sooner than later. The most recent one I've heard from them was 2003's WWIII which I dug for the most part.

Speaking of KMFDM -- did you like the short-lived sideproject MDFMK? I mean it's pretty much KMFDM, same sound and everything, just a few different members.

I never did hear MDFMK. I seen it the other day though - and was tempted to pick it up.

Pretty good huh?

Yeah. "Witch Hunt" is one of my all-time fav songs by the band, and that includes KMFDM's work, too...

I'll have to pick that up sometime. They just put one album out right?

Is it basically just them, or is it a collaboration with other artists too?

Yeah, they just put out one album, back in 2000.

It's a few of the members from KMFDM with (I believe) the addition of a new female vocalist. Either way, it has KMFDM written all over it (backwards, in this case )

Hahaha! I'll probably just put it with my KMFDM cds then (instead of filing it under "M").
