CAT rear end now!!! posted:After listening to the free four-track EP a couple of times now, I have to say there's a weird sense of... emptiness in all of these songs. They're all nicely done, and they've really nailed the NIN sound perfectly, but I can't help but feel the soul Trent pours into his works is missing. It's like these guys have decided to see if they can make songs like Reznor and succeeded, but haven't even tried to take it anywhere further than that. I really can't see myself listening to any more of this, it just plain makes me uncomfortable. It's like one of the malformed trent clones survived the lab fire and found its way into the world proper, It's trent for all intents and purposes but it lacks a soul (and nipples and a navel obv)

Zaiquiri posted:Just got back from 16Volt's album release party and live show here in Portland. I've never heard 16Volt in my life and they were pretty good, great show. Also loved Dead When I Found Her. My buddy and I bought them drinks, they were some pretty cool dudes. Apparently there's a huge industrial scene in Portland I've never gotten in touch with, and this concert really helped me make those connections. The dream of the 90's is alive in portland.

Seems More 'synth poppy' than 'pop punky/emo' overall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C4RP9TJ408 front line assemblyish? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XAYm2ZH0V8 depeche mode/new orderish? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs8Gn3BY7T0 hahah OK, that chorus is a little bit emo no matter how much distortion you stick over the vocals, 1 point to Arthur I guess.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Anyone ever get that feeling of frustration with music where suddenly you find yourself thinking that everything is completely inane, redundant loving poo poo apart from that band? I've noticed myself thinking that a whole lot of more often than before since I was introduced to Project Pitchfork. gently caress you, Peter Spilles, for ruining music for me. I get that feeling of frustration where I suddenly find myself thinking that everything is completely inane, redundant loving poo poo including life, the universe and everything. Then I usually listen to some vnv nation, smoke a fat joint and solemnly pump my fist into the air until I man the gently caress up. 420 stomp to phat 4/4 beats and arpeggiated synths 'erry day.

It's 'cause whenever something truly unique comes along it gets labelled as a subgenre and then done to death. Eventually these imitators try to fly the nest and do something original but by then the fanbase (who've come to expect VNV Nation clone #948 or Combichrist Clone #186) usually start throwing a massive shitfit*. It's the consumers who ultimately dictate which artists sink or swim and it sometimes seems to me (somewhat ironically) that a lot of people in this scene tend to be quite reactionary and prone to a fair bit of herd mentality. I still like the fact that every now and again I'll hear something great that I've never heard before or a new act will come along push all my buttons just right. After all, you need to eat a lot of aggrotech roughage to find diamonds in your poo poo... or something like that anyway. Zaiquiri posted:Yeah the past few years I grew pretty bored with most modern industrial music. Like, it sounds like all the kids that listened to it in the 90's grew up and are writing music, and are just trying to make it sound like a specific handful of bands, or just write a club hit. It's like the music version of fan fiction, almost. Pretty much. Aiming to write a club hit is probably the lesser of the two evils though (by a hair's breadth). It at least requires some kind of critical consensus to happen (or a fucktonne of nigh-on inescapable promotional material *cough* ashbury heights *cough*.) *I.E me, whenever apop gets mentioned.  :edit: wow, a lot of ropey metaphors in this post.

Don't get me wrong, I feel ashbury heights are definately able to stand on their own merits but the PR blitz was pretty full on. I realize the blame lies with the label and not the artists though. I'd actually not heard of hellalyn flowers before, but I have been living under a rock on mars this year. Still, Kinda wish I hadn't after hearing them.

Zyklon B Zombie posted:I remember I was at an industrial festival at a small club once, and a bunch of people were mingling on the sidewalk out front. Not enough to crowd the sidewalk and there was plenty of room. I just kept watching people coming down the street cross the other side, pass the club while sort of sideway glancing, and then cross back over after they were past. I found it pretty amusing because we were probably the dorkiest gathering of people around outside of a comic book convention or something. From a distance a sidewalk full of goths/punks/rivetheads can easily be mistaken for a group of 2D scrolling beat 'em up antagonists.. they probably didn't feel like punching, kicking and eating turkeys out of trashcans. ...or splatterpunks from robocop 3. No-one wants to be reminded of robocop 3.

He played right after I did, and honestly when he came out with two nachtmahr fascist cheerleader girls with fake blood on them you could have heard a pin drop. It wasn't a good show for him. That's like doing a video saying kraftwerk looked like autistic sex offenders and then covenant sheepishly walk onstage.

"Brodustrial" is apt as gently caress.cheapandugly posted:Don't let any of the negative responses you see and hear about this get you down. I don't think there's been one yet? Might as well get the ball rolling... The only negative thing I could think of is it's a little patronizing in tone. The "somali cunts" part reminded me of those "you wouldn't steal a handbag" anti piracy PSAs. It's also funny that you picked throbbing gristle as a counterpoint in a rant about facistic imagery.

The best you can hope for is that he was motivated by a combination of just world fallacy and ignorance as opposed to being a literal nazi but jesus christ that's loving depressing either way.

Twiin posted:1: I never criticised Nachtmahr's fascist-military image. I criticised their poor gender analysis/presentation, and the industrial community spontaneously and repeatedly added their fascist-military look to the list of complaints.  What follows this are clips of a combichrist video interspersed with footage of Nachtmahr totally hitlering the gently caress out. I think you've actually been given the benefit of the doubt with how the scene chose to interpret it.

I just listened to that THYX album like three times in a row. It's like this thread and the electro/synthpop thread had a baby. A healthy baby born without complications; who grows up to be a millionaire philanthropist and space adventurer. for me its the definitive modern synthpop album. There's more than enough audible MIAB DNA to please any fan with even a passing curiosity about Stefan's side project. 9/10

quote:Secondly, as many people have commented on before, when industrial reaches out to other genres, the exchange is generally one-way. Play The Presets at an industrial event and you’ll probably get a good reaction. Play Suicide Commando at an electro night and you’ll just get people wondering what the hell is wrong with you. Interestingly, there are two annual industrial festivals fairly local to me and exactly zero electro fests (even clubnights are pretty sparse). I have to make a 4 hour train journey for anything like that. 'Musical relevance' is seemingly geographic.
