there is noise stuff and metal stuff that i listen to that reminds me of olde-tyme industrial music. on the noisy end. wolf eyes can really hit that spot. and it seems as if the ebm/goth stuff will always be around. and, yeah, skinny puppy have a new album out. not that i've heard it. but is there new stuff that sounds like, i don't know, coil? maybe that's a bad example. also that martial kinda test department fascist groove thang. or maybe laibach and test department just became NIN and rammstein. i just don't ever hear that experimental deadpan wardrum stuff anymore. except in metal, like i said. thank god for the pagans and the vikings. and i do like the synth/goth stuff. best album i've heard in that arena in a LONG time is the new one by Cybernetic Erosion. seriously awesome darksynthambient stuff. and a metal label put that out. maybe to hear good new stuff i need to go buy that new einsturzende neubauten live in east germany dvd. or just listen to more ulver.

Do you ever get industrial music that actually sounds like it was produced by someone who knew what they were doing rather than some dunderhead in a Fields Of The Nephilim t-shirt randomly smacking clanking sounds into a freeware tracker and claiming that the trick is "where not to put the sounds"?

see i might even enjoy that.

how come nobody wants to be cool like the virgin prunes anymore?

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, that's what i thought. there is probably lots of cool old stuff i haven't heard though.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

Well, what about Aborym? They're a pretty fresh take on industrial music, to me anyway. It's grand like the Prunes, and has plenty of machines, and is generally dystopian.

mole, you really need the new Dodheimsgard album. seriously good electro-metal.

but, yeah, like i said, i hear this kind of thing in metal pretty frequently. ALL the elements of industrial. the synths, the folk, the wardrums, the fucked electronics, etc...

was seeing if there was any non-metal stuff inspired by the genre.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

metal-wise, Blut Aus Nord is where it's at, industrial-wise.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

i think most industrial just fused with other music at some point and the rest became that euro-goth-trance/ebm stuff

― latebloomer, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

did industrial metal and industrial dance ruin everything for oddball industrial art-projects? although i guess that's where stuff like wolf eyes comes in.

x-post no x-post

Aha, OK. Well, I will check out the new Dodheimsgard anyway.

Well then, there is the Robert Rich and Brian Lustmord material. I wonder if that is quite what you're thinking of though. After all, Lustmord is old school.

Once in a blue moon I go to an industrial club and it's mostly a slick take on NIN and Foetus, highly programmed, compressed and solid, and all the tracks are sort of interchangeable. There's a lot of image conscious posing in the press shots too - lots of latex and makeup, sexier than the old stuff but not exactly fresh, and maybe just a little too obviously on the make.

Sorry to throw myspace sites at you, but what about Broto Verbo? I was seriously impressed by this guy - I thought it was pretty unique and had incoroprated some kind of Detroit / UR awareness.

Then there's The Process Void, which by dint of being, well, extremely mental, is also quite distinctive:

yeah, i think artists in other genres (electronica, metal, noise etc.) basically absorbed various elements or took up the mantle from where the o.g. industrial stuff left off

Yeah Arborym are a Metal band with noises of women having fake orgasms over supermarket tills dubbed on top.

The last Ulver (Blood Inside? I think...) album is the closest thing I can think to a modern take on Industrial Music. Okay they're also a Metal band but it doesn't have hardly any guitars or regular rock instruments in there.

What about The Knife - could they be considered Industrial/EBM?

― the next grozart, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

Mole, seriously, check out that new Cybernetic Erosion album too. it's darksynth stuff. really good. i will check that myspace stuff in yer post.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

i still have to hear the knife. maria just handed me the cd and told me i had to hear it. on the goth tip, maria and i are both big Android Lust fans.

and yeah, last Ulver and other Ulver is way in the ballpark.

OK cheers as usual - there are like three things I've promised you I'll check out - I got distracted by Pandora and Myspace about a year ago and stopped going to record stores etc. Now I'm contributing to the death of the album!

This is a bit cheeky, but there's my stuff too - obviously influenced by Laibach:

It's very silly and extreme but just maybe it qualifies as industrial. If three myspace pages is a bit much, dear readers of this thread, then it's the Broto Verbo material I most want you to check out.

― moley, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

Freudstein from Brighton are pretty great.

― the next grozart, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

that broto verbo stuff is pretty cool. not a ton of variation though. same bass sound for everything. which is a cool sound, don't get me wrong. he name-checks wumpscut, i almost forgot about them. where are the members of sleep chamber???? seriously, does anyone know.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

cool, mole. i will definitely check your stuff out!!! i was just mentioning to ned yesterday that i didn't know you made music. i'm not always fully awake.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

Well I am, and it's 3.15am! Too much coffee, too late in the day. I'm off to bed, but may I say how nice it was to talk music with you and latebloomer again.

― moley, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

That Process Void stuff on their myspace is very cool. and it is most definitely modern industrial music.

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

Process Void is indeed sweet. That whipping drum sound really screams "industrial".

― baaderonixx, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

i dig yer stuff, mole! very cool. sounds great on my computer speakers.
