I remain a big fan of Combi and Grendel in spite of the anger/misogyny. I'm a chick and I'm not a hateful person, I just like angry music.

Less angry:

I:Scintilla
Kidneytheives

One of my all-time favorite bands is/was (their band existence is in limbo) Orgy. Punk Statik Paranoia wasn't a good album but I still play Candyass and Vapor Transmission regularly.

(edit)

One more decidedly less angry band: Pop Will Eat Itself

gently caress I can't believe I forgot Deathboy (who are so awesome they have their entire catalog available for free online). Their albums (like physical CDs) are obscenely cheap even to ship to the US and they sent me a bunch of extra stuff too. Very cool guys, I'd love to see them gain a bigger following Stateside.

The first one was overwhelmingly "Resident Evil" for me. That font just has too strong of connotations for people (be it Matrix or RE or whatever). I like the last one.

Serious question: Do I need new speakers, or is there way too much loving distortion in what's coming out these days? I was just sitting and listening to a bunch of promos from Promo Fabrik, and wumpscut and Skold's new albums, and it's like the artists decided that there needs to be an inch of wool between their music and the listener.

Edit: That's setting aside the buttrock-with-a-distortion-pedal bands stinking up Metropolis these days.

What Kind of headphones/speakers do you have? My Sennheiser earbuds have no problem with either of those albums and I have the bass on "I don't want to have any hearing left when I'm 60" levels.

I thought for a few minutes this morning while sipping coffee here at work about including The Downward Spiral. I remember when it came out, and it was very much one of those records that we just never stopped playing in the dorm rooms. However, he already has his own thread and it was possibly a more obvious choice than the other stuff I listed so I deferred. However, I absolutely agree with your assessment. For better or for worse, that album put a huge footprint in the genre.

I was going to say this but hesitated for fear of being laughed out of the thread. When The Downward Spiral came out when I was in elementary school it completely changed my musical life and I've never looked back from industrial since.

I also agree that PWEI's Dos Dedos Mis Amigos is a intensely solid album. I must have listened to Everything's Cool like 600 times on repeat and driven my mom insane.

I feel like taste in industrial is entirely subjective. I think most of the stuff you guys like is way too whiny goth kid for my tastes but I don't think the bands I like are musically superior. I just like them better. Everything in industrial is a stereotype. You take yourselves way too seriously.

Combichrist's best IMO is "What The gently caress Is Wrong With You People?", but be warned that it seems like at least one song on every album is pretty misogynist.

Making Monsters, despite being panned by a lot of hardcore Combi fans, has a few really great tracks too.

Skold is a badass that gets alot of flack for being straight to the point angst and joining bands that are on their way out. After Twiggy left Manson, Skold joined from Resident Evil soundtrack until after Eat Me Drink Me, then Twiggy and Manson became bffs again and "booted out the swede". If you play Doom with his songs playing, it's proven your game will be 200% more mindlessley bloody:

He was also in a band Shotgun Messiah that was hair metal until he got creative control and the band became (good) butt-metal with industrial elements

I'ma Gun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwuhjP27R0M

His self titled LP is from 1996 and fantastic. I havent heard his most recent one all the way through, but I heard some of it when it was being worked on and it was pretty rad as well.

I like Skold's music a lot but I've always been under the impression that the "flack" he gets is more due to his supposed interest in much, much, creepily younger women.

Can I get some recommendations of (good) bands with female vocalists? At the moment I think I've only got The Birthday Massacre and Chiasm, not counting bands with occasional/backup female vocalists like Blutengel. I'm not looking for any particular subgenre at the moment, though I generally favor poppy stuff.

Fake edit: Collide, too. Haven't listened to them in a while.

If you like Collide, definitely check out Kidneytheives.

Seconding Ariya and Angelspit as well. Devilicious by Angelspit is so excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyF4XXs3cuE

Whoever suggested Pakt, thank you, I was in need of something new and I'm really enjoying them.

I'm more excited for Orgy being back on tour than anyone has a right to be, but when Candyass hit in 1998 and I was in middle school I thought it was the best thing ever and they're a huge part of my musical introduction to industrial. :)

I was surprised that they got another album out after the whole debacle of not shipping merchandise because Nero was having a serious drug problem, and now the exact same thing is happening again and his bandmates decided it was the last straw.

My birthday week was going so fuckin' cool until this was announced. Goddamn it Nero. gently caress opiates.

Electro industrial is what I used to listen to exclusively when I was in my late teems and early 20s. I've had a long break and help me find some stuff worth getting so I'm not wasting cash. I'm also looking into doing a radio show at the University here that would be focused on these genres with a smattering of goth/death rock/horror pu k as well.

So. If you wanted to introduce the top 5 bands that have come with releases in the last 5 years or so, what would you reccomend? I figure start woth reccomendations before wading through piles of crap to find some gold.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but this soundcloud playlist (titled "True Cyberpunk") has been most enjoyable for me and I generally lean more towards Aggrotech and metal industrial: https://soundcloud.com/jeffrey-campbell/sets/true-cyberpunk

I was honestly surprised at some of the selections. I never for a minute expected to see Fook on this list. The unabashed fan boy in me would have preferred to see Too Dark Park higher, but it is what it is and I'm cool with what they pegged as Number One. Hint: It is neither a Nine Inch Nails NOR a Ministry LP.

This list sees to have been compiled by someone who really wants you to be impressed by how much they know about the history of industrial/influential roots.


Danger - Octopus! posted:

I agree that most of that stuff is/was hella influential (though some is just typically Pitchfork or because they just watched the wax trax doc) but that doesn't mean it still stands up in some cases.

Pretty sure no one is going to come discover Lords of Acid or Thrill Kill Kult in 2019 and think "drat, this is awesome!"

This. It reads like someone making a best of rock list 90% comprised by digging up all the old albums of black artists white 70s rockers ripped off like, "what, you didn't know that song came from Big Joe Turner? :smug: " Sure, some of it is top tier but mostly you're just trying to brag, and just because it deserves to be recognized as first, influential, and likely underrated doesn't mean it's best.
