I'd say that punk definitely influenced metal in terms of rhythm and aggression. I haven't listened to enough Industrial to comment on its influence but I'm sure it's there. I'm pretty drunk so my posts may be nonsense but whatever. :P
My name's Tye! I recently branched out from my punk rock roots and started listening to metal and thought that joining a forum would be a good way to expand my knowledge of the genre. Looking forward to discovering some kick-ass bands!
