I was heavy into New Order, Depeche Mode, and Twitch-era Ministry in the late 80's early 90's. Someone in my Journalism class gave me a copy of Vivisectvi and off I went.

I was into hardcore punk and little else till I heard The Sisters of Mercy; that kicked off an exploration of gothic rock that led somehow to synthpop, futurepop, aggrotech, and then sort of backward into the rest of industrial.

I was a Rammstein kid. From there I found the rest of the NDH bands (Eisbrecher must've been the first ever band I found about myself without hearing about it from a friend or my brother?) and then slowly through that the rest. What really broadened my horizons w/r/t to this poo poo was writing for the website Germaniac.com (created by Gregory Pilling, the swell dude who makes my artwork nowadays. Funny how these things work, eh) which obviously meant I needed to find a lot of stuff like news etc. about artists I didn't know or care abot myself. Was on a brief hellectro/whatever kick sometime in like 2007 but even the teenage me soon realized it was baaaad. Since then I guess my tastes have been fairly consistent, it's all been documented extensively in these threads I guess

Mortal Kombat here too. I heard Rammstein then listened to old Covenant and it went from there.Danger - Octopus! posted:FV's latest statement is maybe a tiny bit revealing since they refer to their detractors as "left wing freaks". Oh well.  what exactly is this guy's history?

Or that one Thrill Kill Kult song on the Crow soundtrack which also led to me buying a whole bunch of their albums before I discovered none of their other songs were that awesome.

I think Wing Commander: Prophecy hit the same late 90s note 1. Prophecy (Terminalmix) - Cobalt 60 2. Cloning Technology (Replica) - Fear Factory 3. The Vampire Strikes Back - Die Krupps 4. Eifersucht - Rammstein 5. Billy Club - Junkie XL 6. The Awakening - Das Ich 7. Stray Bullet - KMFDM 8. Mercy - Paradise Lost 9. Gravitation Zero - Project Pitchfork 10. Headhunter - Eskimos & Egypt 11. The Theme (Of Progressive Attack) Trip Mix - Brooklyn Bounce 12. Komit - Juno Reactor 13. Darwin Was Right - Cobalt 60

I gotta say though Mortal Kombat inperticular did give industrial that second wind in the mid 90s, the first soundtrack went platinum in a week and they made a follow up CD called More Kombat with freaking Chemlab's Exile on Mainline. The movie itself even had a bunch of Stabbing Westward used as score music. In the MK dev team John Tobias who designed the charecters was a big fan of Stabbing Westward and stage designer Steve Beran can be see wearing a KMFDM shirt under his zipped jacket during the Making-Of MK3. Seeing as the MK team was only a handful of people in the early 90s (who's input on the movie was more than welcome), the soundtrack was probably influenced by them.

Yeah, I've fond memories of hearing the Utah Saints version of the MK theme in alt clubs in the late 90s and early 00s. Also, I've not thought about Stabbing Westward in a long time. I think I still have Ungod somewhere.

I was in high school in the late 90s, was mostly into punk stuff, Bad Religion, etc. I had a friend who was big into NIN and all, and it was really through him. He branched out into Depeche Mode, and hey, that wasn't too bad, but then he had this album that had just come out, VNV Nation's Praise the Fallen, and that was like nothing I had really heard, so it just kinda went from there.

For me it was as I was coming off a metal binge in middle school (early/mid 90s). Heard NIN and Ministry via MTV and liked them, then there was an article on Skinny Puppy in some metal magazine (Rip maybe?). Was curious so I talked my parents into getting me a copy of Last Rites via Columbia House. Didn't "get it" right away, but once I did that got the ball rolling. However, I ended up drifting away from industrial and the like in the late 90s for more experimental stuff.

I was just thinking about them the other day, because the singer's current band has a new album coming out soon. The first single really scratches that 90s itch for me, I'm looking forward to the rest of the album. Speaking of the 90s, Gravity Kills is almost entirely to blame for the music I listen to. I wish they'd hurry up and finish the new album they were working on a couple of years ago.

I hung out with the goth-lite kids in high school, we'd get the one dude's older brother to buy us beers, play Goldeneye on the N64, and listen to KMFDM and NIN, then one of them lent me Burnout at the Hydrogen Bar and holy gently caress. That album, and East Side Militia, still own real hard. I burned out on VNV and future pop, stopped following the scene for a while, then started dating a girl who was really into CombiChrist et al (who I was really into until I actually listened to the words). I've been going to more shows the last couple of years, which has gotten me back into the scene, even if I've gotten old and terrible and wear ear plugs most of the time. There's really just one halfway-decent club night a month here in Baltimore, and a place up in Wilmington Delaware that does good shows, even if they're usually on loving Thursday nights.

The new Click Click album "Those Nervous Surgeons" is pretty good. I've never listened to them and they kind of own. They're industrial but weird and do their own thing. Been around forever. Kind of like Lead Into Gold... Especially the song "Man in a Suit" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZlh6OIcGlA BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Dec 18, 2014 |

I first got into industrial from the soundtrack to The Matrix. That, and some late night show on MTV that showed the music video for Closer uncensored.

I always liked Bile's "I Reject" on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack, 9 year old me was pretty cool. I am kind of bummed that nothing else they've done is all that interesting but that particular song is still heavy as hell. I also liked Ace of Base because they synthesized some pretty top notch European 90s beats.

That's the one that did it for me. I'd happily still listen to No Sleep Demon, Beyond Flatline, and Double-Crosser. Not sure what your definition of 'the genre' is, but Seabound was almost my last hope. I'm still holding out for Ashbury Heights.

Can't speak for the entire subgenre but I thought Speak in Storms was a strong album overall, even with that song about the airplane crashing on top of some clowns. If there's just a crushing amount of Seabound-like music coming out then by all means post some other good examples!

It's a good album that's following a string of three GREAT albums and a 5+(?) year hiatus. As for Seabound-like music, there's Frank Spinath's side projects, Edge of Dawn (which I like) and Ghost & Writer (which I don't).

Pope Guilty posted:"The Sign" holds up better than I expected disposable 90's dancepop to. It really does. I decided to listen to the album for the sake of nostalgia a while back and while it's certainly not synthpop, let alone industrial, they peg the driving synth thing pretty well in a few songs, especially Young & Proud. At the very least it opened up the door to angry machine music for me. I'm in your debt, groovy Swedes  And here's that Bile song because the drone at 1:16 kills.

Speaking of ID:YD's year end list, I'm just perplexed at their #1 pick. Seeming was interesting for being the pop project of that-guy-who-wrote-that-industrial-book, and I liked The Burial well enough the first few times I heard it, but something about it just doesn't do anything for me. Also puzzled that Mircalla didn't get any love, though that may be due to a string of small releases... but put all their 2014 work together on a playlist and it's the "album" I listened to the most this year.

But it's not exactly an objective list. No such thing. Though I kind of like the idea of going crazy and doing something unexpected for #1. You didn't expect this, sucker!

The Mortal Kombat soundtrack was amazing and introduced me to a whole slew of new music I never thought I would like. Before that I would listen to whatever was on the radio and not like it. I must have bought an album or even all the albums from almost every band on those soundtracks. Nowadays I listen to a lot of trip hop and bjork and I don't like the new industrial sound but I still go back and listen to the old stuff  I even tried to track down Urban Voodoo's album because I liked Brutality so much. It took me 10 years and it cost $50 but I finally got a physical copy of it and it's pretty good! Overbite fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Dec 19, 2014 |
