good industrial metal?

i know of very little industrial metal bands that are ANY good!so i was woundering if any of you had some sugestions

my list
1:the kovenant
2:static-x
3:circle of dust
4:clank

I am not familiar with any of those bands with the exception of Static X who I do like but they a very commercial metal band that combined nu metal with touches of industrial music. Very good live band.

Check out KMFDM; one of the pioneers of industrial metal and they generally have more melody in their music than other industrial standards like Ministry.

I'd recommend checking out their album "Nihil" as a starting point.

Also, believe it or not, one of my favorite industrial albums is the third and final album by Shotgun Messiah "Violent New Breed". That was actually the album that got me into industrial metal. Main man Skold went on to play in both KMFDM and Marilyn Manson. Violent New Breed is totally unlike the hair metal Shotgun Messiah played on their first two.

Stabbing Westward is another industrial band that still retains melody.

you must try the kovenant! they used to be a black metal band named covenant but changed there name after there 2nd release and have gone the direction of industial with allot of synth that gives it a ci-fi affect i have yet to see from any other band. i would suggest it to anybody wanting good industrial with hints of black metal

P.S:best songs are neon and jihad

I forgot about Stabbing Westward which is strange since I own one of their CD's, great choice toho, I have heard of KMFDM for years but never heard their music I will have to change that, and Metalhead (cool name) thanks for the suggestion. The Convenant sounds interesting.

remember its with a K so its the Kovonent

Treponem Pal, Drown, Inner Thought, Skrew, Misery Loves Company, Godflesh, Crawl, Ministry, Bile, Monster Voodoo Machine, Stabbing Westward, Two, Killing Joke, Pitch Shifter, Fear Factory, Rammstein....

I'm a big fan of Rammstein. Other than that, I don't know an awful lot

Good call with Killing Joke. Their album Pandemonium is one of my favorite industrial albums.

I always loved Nailbomb's Point Blank.

Cop Shoot Cop were also quite good.

For me Ministry is the Godfather of Industrial Metal. However I also love KMFDM and Killing Joke just as much. These guys have molded a genre that seems to have died out some.

Some other works that may fall under a bit more obscured is Lard, and Revolting Cocks, which both house Al Jourgensen of Ministry. He is a brain child to the Industrial scene.

Ministry - I would start with either, Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste or Houses of the Mole.

Killing Joke - I agree Pandemonium

Godflesh is a great band 'Street Cleaner' was one of the heaviest bands I ever heard. Fear Factory another great band, and I am one of few people who actually liked Halford's Two project.

I was a fan of Circle of Dust, Klank and Chatterbox back in the mid 90's. I also checked out Godflesh's "Street Cleaner" album and a few others. Prong actually introduced me to the metal/industrial thing, and i was also a fan of the first NIN album.

Prong could definitely fit into this list, I am sure they influenced bands like Static X.

I don't know maybe 5 people...

but they will all soon die from massive mosh injuries!!!!!!!

Prong's definitely a good pick. Other than them, the only "industrial" flavored stuff I have in my collection is Shotgun Messiah's final album, VIOLENT NEW BREED. Their other albums were more glam/sleaze rock but V.N.B. is a mutha!!

Godflesh's Streetcleaner is the ultimate industrial extreme metal album.

Fear Factory is one of the more under appreciated bands. every album has been solid, while still evolving.

Rob's Two Project is damn good. it helps if you forget Halford's legacy while listening to it. otherwise, you naturally start to compare it to his metal career. which only cheats you of the experiance.

Shotgun Messiah-VNB

Bomb the living bejeepers outta those forces!

Misery Loves Company is another great band that nobody seems to remember besides myself and MC666, their self titled album was a great album, I thought it would led to bigger and better things but instead they just disappeared.

I'll definitely echo this and highly recommend their albums Demanufacture and Obsolete.
