Electro industrial is what I used to listen to exclusively when I was in my late teems and early 20s. I've had a long break and help me find some stuff worth getting so I'm not wasting cash. I'm also looking into doing a radio show at the University here that would be focused on these genres with a smattering of goth/death rock/horror pu k as well.

So. If you wanted to introduce the top 5 bands that have come with releases in the last 5 years or so, what would you reccomend? I figure start woth reccomendations before wading through piles of crap to find some gold.
mind.in.a.box is my favorite band ever, but they're sort of off doing their own thing. maybe start with youth code and high-functioning flesh.

Youth Code is great, but possibly a bit aggressive for what you want. True Confession: I honestly have no idea what electro-industrial is supposed to sound like.

Given that, as a diehard fan boy I would need to suggest the last Skinny Puppy record. Weapon was super solid and would definitely fit in your radio sets. The rework of Solvent is deadly.

I really dig the stuff Dead When I Found Her does too. This track rules my fall weather in Texas for whatever reason. The leaves change and I play this constantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymtnwosbYvw

Going to recommend some individual tracks rather than albums and you can decide from there.

Sure, they are aggressive, vut I think youth code is an evolution and not something strictly of the scene, regardless, something from them that is recent but somewhat more accessible from the most recent album (Commitment to Complications) might be Doghead.

I'll second Dead When I Found Her. All The Way Down is a loving solid album. Try Downpour.

High-Functioning Flesh was also mentioned. Try Hunger Cries.

Check out 3, 2, 1, Nein by Wulfband. Actually just check out of all it.

Also Behind Glass from Statiqbloom.

I have more than five, but this keeps it easy for you. I highly recommend checking out http://www.idieyoudie.com/. Bruce and Alex are very on point with their reviews, and I've found a lot of new stuff that I would have otherwise not heard if not for that site.

Oh man Freeze Frame Reality is getting a remaster with a couple other Haujobb albums on vinyl. It's one of my favorite industrial albums ever, so I'm definitely going to pick up a copy even though I gave my record player away a while ago, because I am an idiot. I guess I can stare at it and imagine how awesome the remaster sounds in my head. I guess at least it's not a tape release.

Chin up Tiger, There is always next season...
Yeah, Dead When I Found Her is great.

I'd have a look at Encephalon's album from last year too - Psychogenesis. It's pretty rad.

Also, maybe a bit out of nowhere but Filter's latest album has some pretty interesting stuff on it.

I fourth Dead When I Found Her. Loooooooooooooooooove mind.in.a.box.

Of course a lot of the bands you (Desmodus rotundus) had been listening to back then are probably still around, and many are still putting out decent releases. I've warmed to the latest Seabound finally. I quite like the last Covenant.

Oh, I highly recommend Ashbury Heights, something you may well have missed. They're a bit more on the synthy/gothy side. I'd recommend the first and third albums, Three Cheers for the Newlydeads and The Looking Glass Society before the second one, Take Cair Paramour. Second one is great, but rather slick and missing an edge. On that note Joyland by Trust is loving amazing, but even far less electro-industrial. Very gothy though.

Also I loved the Battery Cage guy's recent solo album but no one else here seems to have ha.

HAY GUYS

Thank you guys for the reccomendations so far! I've got them written down and will start reasearching this week.

I found I started getting burned out in 2004 or so and noticed that a lot of the acts coming out started to sounds the same and kind of burnt out on it, just starting a relisten now and hoping things have taken off again from an artistic stand point and not just *insert beat 24 insert distorted vocal and sample #2*

Also do you guy have an IRC chat room at all or most discussion goes on in here?

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but this soundcloud playlist (titled "True Cyberpunk") has been most enjoyable for me and I generally lean more towards Aggrotech and metal industrial: https://soundcloud.com/jeffrey-campbell/sets/true-cyberpunk

this is exactly what happened to me. i don't really know what happened; this used to be my favorite genre of music (well, i think this thread is really about multiple genres, but you know what i mean) but then somehow this switch got flipped in my brain and it all just seems pretty repetitive. i guess maybe the problem is that the genre just hasn't seemed to grow up along with me.

at this point i just want something a little more complex and less easily pigeonholed than "scary vocals over dance music with industrial-y noises thrown in" or "scary vocals over metal with industrial-y noises thrown in". it's not because of the harshness, either - i really enjoy stuff like Pan Sonic to this day - it's just i've gotten bored with the same old sound.

does anyone know of any bands that are in some sense "progressive industrial"? minimally i'd love to just hear some different types of instrumentation thrown in (think kmfdm's "blame"), but it'd be nice to hear a real blending of this kind of music with other genres.

to give some suggestions of my own that might sort of fit this mold (none of them are exactly industrial, really, but that's fine):

- ulver's industrial influenced era ("themes from william blake's the marriage of heaven and hell", "metamorphosis", "perdition city") is just fantastic (as is their entire discography, really)
- every igorrr album is very good ("nostril" is a good one to start with)
- lorn's song "weigh me down" is kinda a stretch to include in this list, but i really like that too

if only some band existed that was kinda the mars volta of industrial music...

Have you listened to mind.in.a.box? They're a bit of their own thing and I think fit the "progressive" label.

edit: I should add, they're closer to the vein of future-pop in the beginning, but their later couple albums I think fit what you're describing.

Oh and for the third or fourth time I'd recommend negative_crush.

Two other electro-industrial acts with unusual sounds are/were Flesh Field (orchestral-ish sound) and Fractured (glitchy). They were already around in 2004 though.

Even the press knows, c.f. Side-Line (comments are fun too). I've been listening to this stuff since the early 80s, got back into EBM big time around 2001 and ... it really hasn't changed a dot in fifteen years. There is nothing you can't do with an Access Virus! ... that hasn't been done. Whiny rant.

I'm trying to do my own stuff. It's sucky synthpop so far but ehh keeps me amused. So the answer is probably to fire up some suitable music software and make your own bad music. Punk rock forever!

Man I thought Fractured was AMAZING when I first heard them ... my roommate at the time had a release I think from Dependent. (Only Human Remains.) I later bought the same album from, I think Metropolis, and the tracks were significantly different, and it wasn't quite as good.

Then I saw them live and it was mostly metal-tinged, and not my thing at all.

I'm very stupid.
I quite like Fractured's 2011 release too, the sound is updated and the vocals are clearer but the style is still there.
Now I'm not sure which version of Only Human Remains I have... but I still listen to it a lot.

I've never seen them live, but it seems to be some sort of modern hype to add one or two guitarists to these bands and then change all the old songs to accommodate this. The result is generally terrible. I guess it's everyone copying Combichrist?
I saw Grendel recently and they had done this too. While it somewhat fit in with their newest songs (which I don't mind) it made a mess of their older ones. The typical Grendel thumping was nowhere to be heard, many interesting synth parts were stripped out and they just sounded like terrible metal-ish covers and rearrangements.

teethgrinder
Oct 9, 2002

I would have seen Fractured long before the modern thing you're describing, but I know what you mean. I think it was basically the main guy behind the band playing the guitar though.

I thought APBL2000 was hugely successful with great-sounding guitar, way back then. Aforementioned mind.in.a.box have been adding guitar lately and pull it off wonderfully.

They're way better recently, but I thought the guitarists on KMFDM's modern stable line-up were a huge failure at the beginning. The first time I saw it I thought it was just complete poo poo. I have nothing against "metal" as a concept, but it was a lame metal interpretation of classic KMFDM. Last show I saw though, they blew me away. I was a bit biased too because part of the fun of KMFDM had been their revolving line-up.
