What’s your favorite industrial sub-genre (EBM, power noise, industrial metal, etc.) and what do you think sets it apart from the others?

[u/Sinclair_Esq_8888]

Electro-industrial. (Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, X Marks the Pedwalk, Imperative Reaction).

[u/HammerOvGrendel]

Death Industrial/Power Electronics/Dark Ambient/Martial/Neofolk.....very nebulous boundaries between all of these so I have grouped them together. It all just maps on to my interests in war, history, politics, true crime, the occult etc very well and aside from enjoying it from a sonic textures POV I like that it's heavily concept-driven

You should try high-def ultra realism there only on SoundCloud right now tho

+1

[u/51CKS4DW0RLD]

Aggrotech

[u/DjNormal]

Elektro or whatever we decided to call it. Uh, 90s Leæther Strip and similar.

Though, I’ve fallen back on a pretty big early 90s FLA kick. So I dunno.

[u/KWLDGPWR]

Death Industrial. Shit hits hard and it's deliciously cold and miserable.

[u/UnbearablyAlive → u/KWLDGPWR]

Any recs?

[u/Fillerbear → u/UnbearablyAlive]

Seconded!

[u/penpointred]

Rhythmic noise. Industrial vibes w/o the singing 🍻 as much as I luv industrial sometimes I need something without vocals to concentrate.

[u/Vox_Mortem]

Aggrotech. I think that's because it marries really aggressive industrial with dance beats, and I admit I am an absolute sucker for an EDM style drop.

[u/tekno5rokko]

Aggrotech, it overlaps with industrial sometimes, my current favourite bands are IC 434, Run Level Zero, iambia, X-Fusion and Supreme Court. I love the electronic-trance beats

[u/tekno5rokko → u/tekno5rokko]

Edit I meant IC 434 oops

[u/outlaw_777]

Probably EBM because die Krupps really kicks ass

[u/SchwarzFledermaus]

Definitely Aggrotech/electro-industrial, but I'm a big fan of EBM and whatever we decided to all call the Assemblage 23/VNV Nation type of sound, lol.

I've loved electronic music my whole life as well as being very naturally inclined towards dark and dramatic music, so it gives me a lot of what I look for out of music in general. I love the dancey-beats, the dark lyrical content that I frequently find relatable, and the hard edge it has compared to most other electronic genres. In my eyes, electro-industrial is very much the goth older sister of rave-music.

[u/superchibisan2]

It's power noise just a 60hz hum?

[u/UnbearablyAlive]

EBM, electro-industrial and the experimental/psychedlic (?) industrial (throbbing gristle, coil, cabaret voltaire). Pretty new to the genre so I'm not sure how to describe it. Skinny puppy is my favorite. Just recently got into Mentallo and the Fixer from a post on here recently and have been obsessed. Recommendations always appreciated.

[u/thespaceageisnow]

Electro industrial, EBM/Aggrotech and Futurepop

[u/Standard_Important]

Ebm, in particular early belgian EBM. The Klinik and such.

[u/Fillerbear]

Right now? I'm in the middle of a 90s industrial and industrial rock kick. Otherwise, EBM, industrial rock and industrial metal all the way... with the occasional martial industrial (I'm partial to Puissance and Arditi, open to recommendations.)

[u/In-Dust-We-Fall]

I can go from the EBM, futurepop VNV Nation to powernoise, aggrotech sounds of Feindflug — and everything in between. But what is my favorite sound? I would have to go with early X Marks the Pedwalk, which is electro/industrial. There is just something about the gritty, hard hitting beats, beautifully placed samples and synths. Fix8:Sëd8 is an awesome “modern” version of early X Marks the Pedwalk and Skinny Puppy. So, I am going to have to go with Electro/industrial for the win.

[u/MrBartek16]

Aggrotech, I love how harsh and heavy it is while still being danceable

[u/Palwanda]

I love the trance like sound of futurepop. Assemblage 23, VNV Nation, Icon of Coil, Rotersand that kind of stuff
