I remain a big fan of Combi and Grendel in spite of the anger/misogyny. I'm a chick and I'm not a hateful person, I just like angry music. Less angry: I:Scintilla Kidneytheives One of my all-time favorite bands is/was (their band existence is in limbo) Orgy. Punk Statik Paranoia wasn't a good album but I still play Candyass and Vapor Transmission regularly. (edit) One more decidedly less angry band: Pop Will Eat Itself 13Pandora13 fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Mar 2, 2011 |

gently caress I can't believe I forgot Deathboy (who are so awesome they have their entire catalog available for free online). Their albums (like physical CDs) are obscenely cheap even to ship to the US and they sent me a bunch of extra stuff too. Very cool guys, I'd love to see them gain a bigger following Stateside.

The first one was overwhelmingly "Resident Evil" for me. That font just has too strong of connotations for people (be it Matrix or RE or whatever). I like the last one.

Halloween Jack posted:Serious question: Do I need new speakers, or is there way too much loving distortion in what's coming out these days? I was just sitting and listening to a bunch of promos from Promo Fabrik, and wumpscut and Skold's new albums, and it's like the artists decided that there needs to be an inch of wool between their music and the listener. What Kind of headphones/speakers do you have? My Sennheiser earbuds have no problem with either of those albums and I have the bass on "I don't want to have any hearing left when I'm 60" levels.

hatelull posted:I thought for a few minutes this morning while sipping coffee here at work about including The Downward Spiral. I remember when it came out, and it was very much one of those records that we just never stopped playing in the dorm rooms. However, he already has his own thread and it was possibly a more obvious choice than the other stuff I listed so I deferred. However, I absolutely agree with your assessment. For better or for worse, that album put a huge footprint in the genre. I was going to say this but hesitated for fear of being laughed out of the thread. When The Downward Spiral came out when I was in elementary school it completely changed my musical life and I've never looked back from industrial since. I also agree that PWEI's Dos Dedos Mis Amigos is a intensely solid album. I must have listened to Everything's Cool like 600 times on repeat and driven my mom insane.

I feel like taste in industrial is entirely subjective. I think most of the stuff you guys like is way too whiny goth kid for my tastes but I don't think the bands I like are musically superior. I just like them better. Everything in industrial is a stereotype. You take yourselves way too seriously.

Making Monsters, despite being panned by a lot of hardcore Combi fans, has a few really great tracks too.

Armor-Piercing posted:Can I get some recommendations of (good) bands with female vocalists? At the moment I think I've only got The Birthday Massacre and Chiasm, not counting bands with occasional/backup female vocalists like Blutengel. I'm not looking for any particular subgenre at the moment, though I generally favor poppy stuff. If you like Collide, definitely check out Kidneytheives. Seconding Ariya and Angelspit as well. Devilicious by Angelspit is so excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyF4XXs3cuE Whoever suggested Pakt, thank you, I was in need of something new and I'm really enjoying them. I'm more excited for Orgy being back on tour than anyone has a right to be, but when Candyass hit in 1998 and I was in middle school I thought it was the best thing ever and they're a huge part of my musical introduction to industrial.

Their last tour New Years Day was opener 1 and they were a lot of fun, but the second guy, William Control, was loving awful. He pretended to smoke the whole time and bitched about the lights being too hot while refusing to take off his lovely gothy coat. There was an unusually high volume of teen girls there who all left after WC's set was done.

Desmodus rotundus posted: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. 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

Yeah Industrial is huge in Central and South America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UCO9egps4s&t=105s Like you couldn't do that in the US, your friend's family would throw your the gently caress out instead of being like "yes, my son's friends and dancing were so important to him." It's simultaneously ultracringe and endearing. And a lot of great music is coming from Mexico and other Latin American countries as well. Hocico, Los Macuanos, Amduscia, etc. etc.
