I is for Industrial



This is a new find. I love it! Check it out, you might too.

The description comes from Wikipedia.

Industrial music is a style of experimental music that draws on transgressive and provocative themes. The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by the band Throbbing Gristle, and the creation of the slogan "industrial music for industrial people". In general, the style is harsh and challenging. Allmusic defines industrial as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music"; "initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments (tape music, musique concrète, white noise, synthesizers, sequencers, etc.) and punk provocation".


The following text is mine.



There are subgenres of industrial music, such as industrial rock, industrial metal, and industrial hip-hop. Favorite industrial bands of mine include Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, and Skinny Puppy.

To forestall any upset, in case anyone heard and believed these rumors, Skinny Puppy never included footage from a snuff film in any of their videos. The footage used was from a Japanese horror film series called Guinea Pig.


Enjoy the above music, and, if you're new to the Industrial sound, be sure to check out the bands mentioned above. You're sure to find hours of listening pleasure!

Hi, popping in from A-Z. I thought I was quite knowledgeable about music - but I'd never heard of Industrial music! Thanks for teaching me something new :)

Love Skinny Puppy, NIN and Ministry. Nice mix in the clip, too.

And what if I want to be a douche????

Thanks for stopping by, Suzanne. We at KHEL 666 are always happy to teach someone about a form of music they haven't heard before!

Thanks, C.D.
You don't seem to be a douche. We at KHEL 666 discourage douchebaggery in all its forms. Those who insist upon engaging in it do not get their comments published, and we put on them the curse of the fleas of a thousand camels infesting their nether regions.
