nonono i did read your previous post and an informative one it was. but your acting as if you are go of industrial music because you know of a few bands that no ones ever heard of. i really dont think anyone is here to be insulted but to simply learn of other music that they have not been exposed to yet.

I can't say whether I agree or disagree, because I've only met a few musicians and they were all nice to me... but I know there are rude ones out there. Just depends on the person. All I can say is if I met a musician that I was a big fan of and they turned out to be rude, I would be really disappointed and I wouldn't be too crazy about that person anymore...I'd still like their music but it would disappoint me and I probably wouldn't buy any of their other cd's or support them in any way, anymore. :p But that's just me.

I listen to some industrial:

Celldweller (New name for COD)
Circle Of Dust
Nine Inch Nails
Marilyn Manson
Razed In Black
Klank

And have a question. Circle Of Dust is labeled as a Christian/Gospel group depending on where you go. How can they possibly be Christian??? Listen to the lyrics. I mean, come on. "Easier To Hate Than Love"? How is that gospel???

I used to be majorly into industrial when I was younger. I went to the clubs and danced, threatened ravers, dressed like an extra from Mad Max, the whole nine yards. I wore a vinyl trenchcoat. That's so embarrassing to look back on. Anyway, here's some recommendations for you rivetheads:

Front Line Assembly (the best, still)
Swans
Young Gods
Numb
Cdatakill
VNV Nation (a little dancy, but still rivet)
Haloblack
Sister Machine Gun
CHEMLAB
Download
Mentallo and the Fixer
Funker Vogt
Razed in Black
Skinny Puppy (of course)

Oh, and by the way, VampiricClown... Circle of Dust is in fact a Christian band, something that most rivets hate them for.

? What about them is christian in the slightest? Has anyone even listened to what he says in his lyrics? "Yurasuka" is basically about how he murders his girlfriend. Someone needs to get the labeling straight. Not to mention the fact that after he changed his name to Celldweller, he uses profanity in several of his songs. And I'm not even going to go into it about the song "Frozen".

Wow. I'm actually complaining about something other than my love life.:eek:

Just for you, VampiricClown.

Klay Scott (of Circle of Dust) explains his religious feelings.

Thanks :)

It seems like you have or were following this at some point as-well. lol

was sisters of mercy considered industrial? not sure but i loved them. prodigy, nin, marilyn manson. will have to check out some of these others that you guys mentioned.

Sisters of Mercy were goth, not industrial. If you loved the Sisters, check out Fields of the Nephilim, The Mission, or Southern Death Cult. These are all goth bands that are fairly similar in sound to the Sisters of Mercy.

i liked how southern death cult became death cult, then simply The Cult.

i thought they'd eventually be called 'C'

You guys might like to check out the early bands signed by TVT in the 80's.
I have a CD set from them called Black Box with most of the people they first signed.......it's worth listening to,and most of the songs still stand the test of time.

Wow.

I cannot believe that the bands Fear Factory, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Napalm Death and Gwar were all mentioned in a thread about industrial rock bands. I wouldn't put any of those in an industrial metal thread.

Amazing.

So much educating to be done, I swear.

EDIT
I also saw someone put Machine Head on here...you may aswell add Metallica on here. Jesus.

too many sub genres......it used to be just, rock, r&b, blues, jazz. it was a simpler time way back when. LOL

Look up Marilyn Manson. It's classified as Industrial. And just for the hell of it.....

Metallica:D

I don't know where you get industrial out of Alternative/Shock...but whatever.

The only Manson album that could even be considered industrial is "Mechanical Animals". But not even the whole album can be called that.

I really don't think Manson is industrial either. It's much more accurate to call him glam rock. The only ties Manson has to industrial music at all are the (infrequently used) distorted vocals and minimal keyboards. That's it. If you listen to something like Front Line Assembly, a true industrial band, you will see that Manson is far from it.

I got really into Nine Inch Nails latley. thats industrial right?

its all just rock and roll ...

NIN is all u need and i hope hes nice to his fans in concert...that would suck ass if he wasnt.

Well frist Naplam death were part of the hardcore movement,then after there "Scum" lp they became part of a newer movement called "Grindcore"(frist song is on crass lp).Gwar are a called art rock or theatre rock for the type of shows they put on,metal-punk fused you can say.Fear factory are influneced buy industrial music buy there sound ,no power cords here.Are they industrial?I say yes,due to the crossover that a few bands have done with a hard edge sound.

i was so close to going to se nine inch nails this spring break, but fucking they play the night before i get out of school. Im seeing dropkick murphys instead!

Lucky you. The Dropkicks are better. Sorry... but I really, really dislike NIN.

ya i can see them any time in boston
