It is the last time 242 are going to be touring in NA though, so if anyone hasn't seen them yet and wants to then either go catch them on this tour or you'll need a flight to Europe.

A Used Game posted:found out about this recently and immediately bought the album after hearing this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMu4HGOyJBY Yeah! That Spit Mask release is so good. Hope they release more at some point idk if other people are already into him, but Celldöd absolutely bangs if you want kinda raw-sounding hardware EBM. It's not quite the same sort of thing as Youth Code or Spit Mask, and the vocals are largely just occasional shouts, but he's great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rft0WO9-KAU Danger - Octopus! fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Sep 30, 2022 |

thotsky posted:Welle:erdball is the OG chiptunes as pop music band. idk which song precisely it is, but yeah it sounds like it'll be Welle: Erdball. Their older stuff is way, way better than the newer releases. Everything up to and including Operation: Zeitsturm is absolutely great, but the releases after that one are very much treading water with diminishing return. Edit: and I think one of the key band members left a couple of years ago as well

hatelull posted:I don't think they're going to keep going as Puppy but hopefully it pushes though to continue doing projects. Key will probably do his electronica projects forever. I saw a blurb on social media where he's opening for IAMX. I just wonder if Ogre continues with Mark Walk project/band or not. "Die hard fans who don't like anything past the early to mid 90s" pretty much describes most of the people in every band/subgenre industrial page I've I've tried on FB, or r/industrialmusic tbh. I'm sad I've only seen SP once but they don't come over to the UK often, and I'm glad I got that one time at least. It does sound like the ticket prices are pretty crazy though, which sucks.

I mean full disclosure, Last Rights is the most "recent" SP album I listen to on the reg, just funny how averse to anything modern a lot of the FB communities and reddit are. I guess maybe people into newer stuff use Discord or w/e.

Whispering Machines posted:Some folks are passing around a video of Shelby hanging onto Joe and whispering something in his ear and are concerned how "uncomfortable" Joe looks and if he "consented" to it. For fucks sake. The comments about Shelby and the other women who have alleged abuse or bad behavior about Till are getting threatened and harassed the same way people critical of Marilyn Manson or other famous assholes get harassed. Those people raising their cOnCeRnS about poor Joe there are the same piece of poo poo enablers who can and do defend every abuser whether celebrity, friend or family member to the death. I hate those fuckers so much, even the ones who aren't abusers themselves, for all the suffering they prolong, enable and actively try to hide. Was disappointed at a local club night that played Du Hast (to a loving cheer, as it was after a few tracks with slightly less widespread popularity so of course it hyped everyone up) on Saturday. I get that many people do not give a poo poo, nor do I expect most people to - that's their choice as fans- but come the gently caress on what the gently caress message does that say when you're a DJ spinning Rammstein while the story is fresh in the news? Like either you're absolutely blinkered to the biggest piece of scene/scene-adjacent news to hit the mainstream press since however long or you just think "yep, don't care just need that hot dancefloor." This isn't like some not widely known thing that you only hear about if you're in the right groups. Play NIN, play VNV, you've plenty of songs that'll liven things up. Wait a month or two til the story dies down like it sadly will, then play Du Hast again, Rammstein aren't going to get cancelled and forgotten. But playing them when the story is still in the mainstream press is pretty much an "I Stand With Johnny Depp" type post except this is worse because it was poo poo happening to fans i.e people exactly like the people in this club Anyway, that's my rant, will prob turn out that only 3 people in the club knew about all this poo poo and I was standing with both of the other two by weird coincidence.

I always think there's an interesting tension with these 'best X industrial album" type lists between albums that were important/influential at the time, ones that remain important/influential, and ones that if you sit down and listen to today alongside something current then you'd think "yeah this fucks". (so for example, an important and influential Die Krupps release is on the Consequences of Sound list, but one of their 90s industrial metal albums would probably fit alongside some of the metal bands on the list, and they definitely goes just as hard if not more so. See also Killing Joke's Pandemonium which leaves other industrial metal in the dust behind, but it didn't have a wide influence unlike KJ's early work)) Always interesting reading one of these lists and working out what approach they've taken.

hatelull posted:Clearly Consequence of Sound is scraping this thread for hits. They followed up yesterdays decisive list with yet another Top Ten. This one is a top ten industrial tracks penned by the dude from 3TEETH. I'm low key surprised by the Ministry track on here, because my take on 3TEETH was that they always felt to me like they were specifically trying to recreate Ministry's Filth Pig sound so would have expected something from that album. Also yeah totally the kind of top ten that makes sense for 3TEETH though otherwise.

hatelull posted:They also dropped a Top 50 Industrial Songs Of All Time! (or at least up until the 20th of July in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-three). This list reads like it was put together by gen-Xers now in their 40s who largely stopped listening to industrial in the late 90s but are now desperately checking their old dusty collections of physical media so the listicle can get done.

I find it really weird that the lists focussing on industrial rock/metal (or your term of choice that includes glowing commentary about Rammstein, Fear Factory etc) consistently either don't include Die Krupps or if they do then it's the very early stuff before they brought in guitars. Die Krupps' guitary albums absolutely gently caress tho, they got some MTV rotation back in the day with To The Hilt so it's not like people whose entire knowledge is based on music videos from the 90s aren't going to know about them. If you're writing a list that's evidently aimed at/written by people into the more guitary end of things, then they'd seem like an obvious one to put in.

Love all of her more electronic stuff, but the track Meat is such a standout. Lyrics that go as dark as anything in the industrial scene and it sounds great in a club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUbYgDAK0FY Those new tracks are pretty killer too tho for sure.

Kvlt! posted:i know asking for "factory machine music" itt is kinda broad, but im looking for albums that sound very rhymic and mechanical, like a working factory. I love listening to youtube videos of reptitive factory noises and car engine sounds, but want something a little more musical. If you want something where a steady machine-like rhythm is the absolute focus then as long as you're down with distortion, my recs would be: Hypnoskull https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/the-manichaean-consciousness (his previous two releases - Immer Weider Nein and Die4 Generation are similar) Greyhound https://greyhoundofficial.bandcamp.com/album/insomnia (all their releases sound pretty much the same, tbh) Greyhound in particular - every track is pretty much just a steady rhythm with some textures that may evolve and shift slightly over the course of the track but they don't really do much more than that. They're great, if that's your thing.

Kvlt! posted:these two are exactly what I was looking for, especially Greyhound. Exactly what I wanted to a t, im really digging GH. Ty!! If you're not already familiar, I also reccommend digging through the catalogue of the label they're on - Hands, as it's mostly rhythmic noise of broadly similar kinda things (sometimes more techno, sometimes more IDM). The annual Forms of Hand samplers have a good selection if you wanna try our artists. https://handsofficial.bandcamp.com/

MassRafTer posted:What good electro-industrial/EBM/whatever albums have come out this year? I was looking back and the albums I most anticipated from KANGA and Rein both really disappointed, the surprise Flesh Field album was a let down (but made me revisit early Flesh Field which was good) and Daniel Myer only put out a new techno album and a DSTR single, so nothing super exciting from one of the most prolific guys. The just-released Neuroticfish album is good. Randolph & Mortimer and HEALTH as others have said. Sturm Cafe's album Zeitgeist is great. Riotmiloo's album Blackout is real great if you like kind intense rhythmic noise with vocals. Also there's Mortality by Choke Chain, and Concrete Playground by Monolith. Those are my best ofs for the year. Kamrat posted:Wulfband released a new song this year, completely missed it Wulfband are amazing for sure! If anyone in thread has a chance to go see them live and hasn't seen them previously, definitely do so. Their live shows are absolutely chaotic in the best possible way.

a_gelatinous_cube posted:I bought a banned copy of KMFDM's Naive off ebay, ripped it, and resold it way back in the day. Wish I had held onto it, but I was broke as hell. Honestly I think the re-released version without the uncleared samples is better, but neither version is anywhere near as good as the next few releases imo. The ban probably hyped it up more than it really deserved.

hatelull posted:I mean, sure if a song like that dropped in 2024 but it was 1989 and they were thriving on samples in that period. They even did a call back to that track on Last Rights. hell no, I still love tracks filled with movie samples (mostly cause I rock that vibe too). I kinda feel a lot of artists are afraid of copyright strikes for it tho so you don't get it much from anyone who has dreams of getting even a hint of popularity. Edit: movie samples where it's not the same limited pool of 80s sci-fi/horror classics. I am definitely over bored of anything that uses ones I've heard a million times before, and it was wild hearing an overused Aliens sample but in some new industrial techno thing that came out last summer.

david_a posted:Dead When I Found Her puts in a lot of samples too. Some are immediately obvious (“oh that’s Shutter Island”) but others are more obscure like The Visitor (I pointed at the screen like Leo when one character said “thank you for treating me like a normal person… but I’m not a normal person”) It's great when you're watching old black and white monster movies and suddenly one of those classic industrial samples happens
