Thread lacks enough rhythmic noise. Want music that scares people who like Justin Bieber? Look to the Hands Productions and Ant-Zen labels, and the vast array of smaller labels releasing music with chunky beats and loud noises. It's big in Germany. Other places too, but drat the Germans seem to love it. Also it involves nerdy guys with laptops or racks of electronics, peeking nervously at the audience, or sometimes sweaty bald men with their hands in the air. This Morn Omina - tribal trancey electro-industrial. Your raver friends may well like this. You'll have heard One Eyed Man in a club. Not very scary. Really very good. Winterkalte - this is the guy behind the Hands label. Absolutely brutal - they have a CD called "Drum n Noise". The name is pretty much all you need to know. When you lure a goth girl back home with you by claiming you're "really into Mesh", don't put a Winterkalte CD on instead. SKET - More guys with heaps of gear making great music. They're influenced by a lot of the older bands in this subgenre, but they don't sound quite like anyone else. Sonar - made up of Dirk Ivens (Dive) and Eric Van Wonterghem (Monolith), who also double as Absolute Body Control. They make awesome noisy music out of very repetitive loops. See them. Do it. Synapscape - they have an actual singer! Well, a shouter, at least. They're one of the most interesting bands in this subgenre to me, musically - they vary from slightly creepy tracks like the one I just linked, to more clubby ones and others that are pretty groovy. Some other bands you should try: 100blumen, Mono No Aware, Ah Cama Sotz, Iszoloscope, Vromb, ESA, Empusae, Detritus, Greyhound (my favourite current noisy band, to be honest), Heimstat Yipotash and Pow[d]erpussy among many more. Various of the "noisy" labels have branched out in the last few years with the dark cabaret style music of Genevieve Pasquier, for example, or things on various labels that are basically dubstep, ambient and pretty much any other electronic genre you can think of. There are several festivals just for this kind of thing in Europe, most notably Maschinenfest.  Also, not noisy, but everyone should listen to Patenbrigade: Wolff and Welle:Erdball. Both have colons in their names, both are very silly, very German and really fun live. P:W have a kitsch DDR Ostalgie and love of industry thing going on; W:E also have a retro analogue synth/chiptune thing going on at times and particularly love the C64, VW beetle and Super-8 camera. And, if you are in the UK and like electro industrial, then come to Infest over the August bank holiday weekend. It's literally the most fun you can have in Bradford! Eat curry, drink alcohol, dance the night away with a venue full of like-minded sweaty music fans. (I skipped about half the bands last year and spent each night dancing to bad 80s music to be honest, oops!) Twiin posted:I won't play Combichrist anymore. Even if he wasn't totally played out, I'm so loving sick of his racist/sexist shock jock bullshit. There's some of the attitudes and "OOH I'M EDGY" bullshit around that whole subgenre (ie the bands that want to be CC) that piss me off. Uberbyte sampling Goebbels, for example, and professing not to know why people might find it offensive.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:But seriously, if you get the chance, plan a trip to Germany one summer and visit Amphi (for a more contained festival) or Wave Gothik Treffen (for a trillion billion bands scattered across the city for several days). It's pretty insane to see literally tens of thousands of goths and other relevant people dancing to your favorite bands. I'm kind of bored of a quite a lot of the recent bands that aren't rhythmic noise to be honest, so tend to stick to the noisy festivals, standalone gigs for bands I like and Infest (because it's in the UK and I like the clubby aspects of it and a lot of people I know go so it's great seeing them all). A bunch of my mates do Amphi, but the lineup only really has four bands I'd want to see this year, and less last  I am not with it any more as far as my musical tastes go.I really like some recent electropop bands, but a lot of them seem to turn up in a blaze of scene publicity and moody photoshoots then vanish after an album (probably when they leave university). Need to get back into buying random compilations to find some good obscure bands, but goddamn I've had some bad experiences with lovely compilations with one good track and the rest painfully bad filler or weird remixes of tracks that might otherwise be good. The smaller gigs do have a certain appeal, I guess, because they're more intimate, you can be right up front without being stuck in a platoon of photographers and then get sweaty hugs from the band all night long at the aftershow. I have fond memories of Implant explaining that they had tried fish and chips because it was a scottish tradition so they felt they had to, but they really didn't like it.

glitchkrieg posted:If you like noise, gently caress Infest and go straight to Maschinenfest. Waaay, waaay more fun, better acts, nicer people. New thread, time for my Maschinenfest anecdote I guess: we saw Catholic Boys in Heavy Leather at Maschinenfest in 2007, and one of my mates bought their box set. He only had a rucksack - no hold luggage, so when we got to the airport on the way home he put it through the x-ray machine. They stopped him, and made him open up the bag... then they pointed to the CBiHL box. He opened it up for them, and the first thing they took out of it was a photo of the Pope. Next thing was a cock ring with a crucifix on it, then a vibrator... and then a pair of handcuffs. They confiscated the handcuffs, but then let him take away the rest. I like to think the airport security staff still wonder what the hell was going on with that guy.

While I can't be bothered with much of the tiresome doof-doof-doof-distorted sp00ky vocals and/or sample of someone german aggrotech/terror EBM type stuff (all the Suicide Commando/Hocico/Combichrist wannabes and the various bands like X-Rx, Xotox and Noisuf-X who all sound pretty identikit) there's still a lot of good stuff coming out. Ant-Zen and Hands are still releasing some great things if you like things a little more noisy. Most recent thing I bought is Insignificancy Rising, from Libido Formandi. It's really good, reminds me of stuff like Empusae maybe. If you like Dryft then it might well appeal.

Saw Covenant last night. They weren't as good as when I've seen them before (although this is partly because I don't like the new album much), Eskil's singing seemed a bit off at times, and his banter between songs was somewhat incoherent. On the other hand, they played a great version of Theremin which was awesome since I've seen them three times before and they've never played it. Daniel Myer sung parts of Lightbringer and tbh was a better frontman than Eskil. Also, towards the end of the set they played an instrumental that sounded a lot more like a Haujobb track than a Covenant one, and I have no idea what it was, but it was really good.

hatelull posted:Front 242 - Front by Front ... again, though the album contains two obvious classic club anthems the deep cuts like "Work 01" and "Circling Overland" completely seal the deal for me. For me, the first five Front 242 albums (Geography, No Comment, Official Version, Front by Front and Tyranny For You) - there's a lot of other albums by other bands that I like, but few that are as good the whole way through. I kept thinking of albums by other bands that were great, but then remember all the crap tracks I skip each time I listen to them. On a rhythmic noise kinda slant, the quartet of Nord by Imminent Starvation, Blast Furnace by Converter, Remote Assault by Sonar, and Positive Pop by Synapscape (and arguably Drum'n'Noise by Winterkalte) Those, coming out 1999 to 2001 really seemed to kick the rhythmic noise labels into gear and there was a ton of great stuff released over the next few years on Ant-Zen, Hands and similar labels. The very late 90s were a great time to get into things. And while there may have been some duff tracks on their albums, it was awesome when Apop, VNV and Covenant really exploded alongside all the noisy stuff and it became impossible to ignore them with Welcome To Earth, Empires and United States of Mind.

chime_on posted:Throbbing Gristle have a bunch of stuff that's pleasant to listen to. "United" is basically a pop song. Hot On The Heels of Love is an electro track of theirs that's definitely closer to pop than scary noise. Sounds like an Anne Clark track or similar. Twiin posted:Yeah. I didn't want to take the bait on that post, but if Coil wasn't industrial, then nothing (save Industrial Records) is. Aside from "electro-industrial" or co-opting just plain "industrial", there isn't really a good term that covers the gamut from TG to 242 to VNV to Combichrist to Winterkalte. Except I kind of prefer to use fairly broad generic terms otherwise you end up in a mess of micro-genres made up by one guy to refer to a couple of specific bands and most of the endless and intricate subgenre names sound dorky anyway. I can kind of see the point of the way some people used to ostentatiously refer to everything after Industrial Records as post-industrial. That one does actually make sense, since pretty much all the various types of bands that get referred to as industrial these days do a debt of inspiration (often second or third or fourth hand, admittedly) to TG and related projects.

Corporate Soldiers - Party Til We Die I got this piece of crap on a compilation sandwiched between tracks by Solitary Experiments and Patenbrigade: Wolff The only redeeming feature is that it doesn't have a cheesy video of goggle-wearing guys and scantily clad goth girls dancing.
