Thinking about driving up to Detroit and catching Skinny Puppy on this tour since I haven't been out to a show in a long while. Do they still put on a good live show?

I saw them on the In Solvent See tour and it was pretty damned fun.

I saw Gary Numan last night and Gary Numan is still amazing and you should all go see him if you get the chance to. Not only has he still got boundless energy he looked like he was having a blast as opposed to him just going through the motions. Love him.

He does this amazing and shiny new version of Are Friends Electric now too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7o3PunF0N0 Something I was plesantly surprised by.

Man, "Break the Sky" off iVardensphere's new album sounds so drat ridiculous. It sounds like their vocalist totally blew out his voice and has joined the ranks of Strep Throat EBM. If I didn't know better I'd think it was Daniel Gra...oh, it's him.

Ooh I don't know if there's anything that specific. But there's a book from a fan called "Go Ask Ogre" about her correspondence with him. Industrial music is a pretty under-written subject, but a study called "Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music" came out not too long ago, I think. I've read that it's the best single professional written work on it, and I'm reading it has a lot on Skinny Puppy in there.

I have the assimilate book, and it's not a easy read. He does a lot of cultural and political theory, and at times I had the urge to skip forward to get to a point where he's actually discussing the music. However, when he's talking about the scene and the albums a lot of really solid artists are presented. Skinny Puppy get a whole chapter I think. However, Key blasted it on facebook saying most of it was inaccurate or just plain wrong. That dude is super whiny though, so who knows.

I don't know if it's just the author's own tastes coming through, or if his experience of recent-ish industrial music in the US is very different to things in the UK, but there were some of the later portions of the book (basically anything referencing about 1999 onwards) that felt either really rushed or like things were being left out because they didn't really suit some of the points he was making (the rhythmic noise/old school EBM scenes still being pretty big at least in Europe, for example)

It's definitely really interesting though, especially about the shift from being an avante garde movement to what we have now, because while I've read a lot elsewhere about TG and the other very early industrial & related artists, I'd never seen much about how things actually flowed from there to the current scene.

I just started reading it, I'm just past the point where he talks about the Italian Futurists and William S. Buroughs. I love the fact that he goes there with it. I've long been fascinated by the Italian Futurists movement, it's just too bad they were, literally, capital-F Fascists under Mussolini. They invented all kinds of mechanical instruments that were destroyed in WW2.

Because the organisers have a build-it-and-they-will-come mentality and have literally no experience in organising an event, let alone an enormous one.

Almost every single music event starts out as a small affair and slowly gets bigger, they dived in with WE WANT EVERYYYYTHIIIINNNGG from day 1. It's all a bit silly.

For anyone else who was curious, this is the only (English) article that I was able to find by reverse image search: http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=50384_0_2_0_C . So it's coming out in February, and supposedly the songs on it will be precisely fired projectiles at some of the backstabbers here, silencing them once and for all. Also, 'Feindbild' means 'bogeyman' or 'image of the enemy', according to dict.cc, so yeah, it's appropriate.

I like this album artwork. It's a step up from the rejected Alien Vampires artwork he has for Veni Vidi Vici. It's in line with Feuer Frei!, but otherworldly instead of same-old dark.

At some point Andy LaPlegua called his stuff "Techno Body Music" (because you can't be an industrial icon if you haven't coined a useless jargon word) and now it gets used as a catch-all for dance-powernoise.

My favorite sub-subgenre is Anhalt EBM, which is basically dance music for skinheads. Not, like, Nazi skinheads, but like if you took Oi! fans and made the Oi! with computers instead of guitars. Like, TWAT could easily play with Angelic Upstarts.

Way back in the OP: The description of electro-industrial as taking metal and adding a dance beat is super evocative to me. Haven't really heard any, but I do listen to a bunch of death metal. Is there any electro-industrial that really plays up the metal aspects of it? Guitar riffs, maybe interspersing blastbeats with the dance backbone, maybe harsh vocals. Very heavy, or very fast. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciation.

Probably should start with Ministry - Psalm 69. Just their early stuff really, as well as early KMFDM and Skinny Puppy. There's a lot of harsh blastbeat industrial noise with machinery noises in it (like Converter) that I'm sure isn't what you meant but might be interesting.

You might like the Finnish outfit Turmion Kätilöt, their album Pirun Nyrkki is pretty drat metal.

Interesting old school ebm sound. 4 tracks that sound like they were composed on a 606. Echoed vocals and minimalist processing.

Comp that spans from 70s kraftwerkian\ joy division stuff in Kline Coma Xero - Left Behind, to Geograph era 242 in Ortrotasce's bonus track. If you're looking for something far, far removed from dancefloor nonsense, this is a super cracking compilation. Belgian.
