Industrial!

[Ethereal Sage]

Sadistik and Illamura have some good suggestions. I will add to them by recommending you check out the bands at the web page

www.coldmeat.se

An Post/Industrial/Dark Ambient label based in Sweden. Lots of good stuff like the afforementioned MZ.412 (They have been described as Black Industrial) and Puissance (Neoclassical/Industrial).
Other bands on the label such as Brighter Death Now (Death Industrial), Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Institut, Deutsch Nepal are good and curerntly active, and there are a whole lot more that have either stopped or moved to different labels.

My Fav industrial-related from the label would probably be Desiderii Marginis (dark ambient/industrial).

Front Line Assembly

Front 242
Skinny Puppy
Ministry
VNV Nation
Icon of Coil

Some of it borders on synth pop, but it's all good stuff.

Most definitely EBM But if youlike it check out Bebon Beton (another world - great song) and Wolfsheim, both extremely good

 

[Morningrise]

Ministry- Psalm 69

Note to Ben: Joe should have showed you this by now!

 

[BillowOfZeal]

The good ones have been named but be sure not to miss out on:

Die Krupps
Ministry
Front Line Assembly
Skinny Puppy
Pig Face
Front 242
Killing Joke
......among others

 

[Zznwolet]

A lot of stuff coming out of Germany and Belgium these days tends to learn toward power electronics/noise bands like - Winterkaelte, Imminent Starvation, Synapscape, Sonar, Proyecto Mirage, Con-Dom & The Grey Wolves, Dive etc.

The best labels for this sort of thing are Ant-Zen , Tesco Organization, and Hands Productions.

As for the more dark ambient/death industrial sounding bands I'd recommend:

Raison d'tere
Les Joyeaux De La Princesse
Death In June
Brighter Death Now
Coph Nia
Megaptera
Mental Destruction
Lustmord
IRM

Most of the above are on the CMI label.

Slaughter Productions http://welcome.to/slaughter
and Cold Springs http://www.coldspring.co.uk/
also have some really interesting things going on.

For me, I got into Wumpscut...angry, raw, violent stuff. The older stuff will blow your mind - Dried Blood of Ghomora and Bunkertor 7

Trust me on this...if that's what you mean by industrial.

Front Line Assembly - Great stuff
Noise Unit - Ditto
Front 242 - Ditto
Skinny Puppy - old stuff is great
Ministry - ditto
VNV Nation - New CD shreds!
Icon of Coil - Not familiar with them
Covenant - Pretty good
Apoptygma Berzerk - KILLS! I love the 80's synth sound
KMFDM - Essential

Just my nickel's worth

There's a Toronto band called Vegasphere that's pretty good. Sort of like Stabbing Westward in terms of heaviness, but the electronic element of their sound is stronger. Somewhat like early Econoline Crush if that means anything to anyone.

If you're interested in checking them out they're playing live on my radio show Sat night (11pm ET).

 

[Blue Moon]

Greetings.

If you like EBM, be sure to check out :

VNV Nation ("Empires" is an awesome album)
Blutengel (Seelenschmerz is the only one I know)
@Prat|Poet : If you like the 80's sound, you should check out Dust of Basement, it's very good.
Wow, that's all I have in mind for now.

For those intersted : Funker Vogt are coming to Montreal, this autumn I believe. My friend made them come here, the same friend that brought VNV Nation and Icon of Coil at the same show..

Ooh... and ditto for Die Form, who are pioneers for all industrial related stuff.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

UG industrial: Throbbing gristle, NON, SPK, Einstürzende Neubauten, Cabaret Voltaire

EBM: Front 242, Skinny puppy, From line Assembly, Wumpscut:, VNV Nation, Suicide Commando, Hocico

Industrial rock: NIN, Coil, Marilyn Manson (ACSS), Filter, Mortiis

Industrial/Electro-Metal(Dominion III, OhGr, Demonic Electronic, Diablerie, Dimension F3H, Aborym, And Oceans....)

I still suggest the older stuff:

Front 242 - "Tyranny For You", "Up Evil", and "Evil Off"

anything by Frontline Assembly

EBM

 

[CAIRATH]

Um, this topic is almost 4 years old.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

dig dig dig

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Coprofago - Unorthodox Creative Criteria (Jazz/Death with a little Industrial touch)
Fear Factory - Fear Is The Mindkiller (Awesome Cd)
Godflesh - Selfless (Crush My Soul!!!!)
Strapping Young Lad - CITY (Heavy... damned Heavy)
Front Line Assembly - Millenium (Rhys Fulber!)
Prong - Cleansing (Snap your fingers...)
Meshuggah - Destroy.Erase.Improve. (Not Industrial but closer)
Ministry - Psalm69 (Classic)

 

[Manbient]

It seems a lot of people here think Industrial has more to do with metal than it really does

 

[SeanNZ]

I always associated Tool with industrial for some reason... geuss that makes me ignorant

 

[Birkenau]

Why the fuck wasn't Coil included in this thread?

 

[CAIRATH]

I wouldn't really call most of Coil's output industrial. I would however call Coil *amazing*. The Ape of Naples, their latest (and probably final, with Jhohn Balance being dead and all :\) album is stunning. Anyone interested in weird dark electronic music should check out these albums:

Musick To Play In The Dark Volume 1
Musick To Play In The Dark Volume 2
The Ape of Naples
Moon's Milk (In Four Phases)

They've also released a lot of (in my opinion) patchy albums that are too much random noise and not enough music for my tastes. But those albums are definitely great. And good luck finding them because they are pretty rare too because most of Coil's output was released in very limited editions.

 

[Manbient]

I've been looking to buy the 2 Musick To Play In The Dark albums for YEARS. those bitches are near impossible to find.

 

[CAIRATH]

Yeah. I found both of them on eBay eventually but I had to pay a pretty penny for them.
