I started making this album in 2006 and started over 3 times because my sound sucked my songs sucked everything sucked. Years I've studied what NIN and Manson and Chemlab and everybody did to make something unique and successful, studied A&R after I went through the their thing in 05, marketing, every aspect of what other people would be in charge of if this was a label record. I'm creating a caricature of myself, which I had to bite the bullet that I'm an internet elemental. I'm every stupid emo posting facebook ramblings, bitching about exes, self mutilating, spergin wonderfuck that gravitated to sonic the hedgehog. I posted the instrumentals in the games forum along with the lyrics, and the feedback I got was pretty much expected. I want those that hate it to hate each and every aspect of it, because they don't get that I realize how stupid it is, but I just don't care. Since starting writing this thing, I've gone through 5 computers on this version of the album alone, had to put up with an rear end in a top hat engineer for years to learn, became friends with my favorite bands, moved out of AK for the first time ever, I got people waiting to push me into Hot Topic, and Birthday Massacre is down to let me tour with them god drat I have to make sure every little aspect of this is done right if I'm going to make sure it's successful. This will be it, not the start of a career or anything just one album. If I can successfully commercially sell myself then people will look at that as gold portfolio material. Then maybe I can get a normal 9 to 5 job maybe at a marketing company maybe the'll call me back from one of these interviews and maybe I can some semblance of stability

As I bow out from the thread now, I'm pimping my youtube: http://www.youtube.com/mdpofficial

This is awesome also. Wait, are you the guy who recommended Birthday Massacre in the 'Best of 2010' thread? Because if so I love you even more.

Aesthetic Perfection - The Great Depression was pretty good though, the overemphasis of lyrics detracted from it but the beats were awesome. Thanks or that one.

His lyrics are a huge cut above most similar stuff, and his rage comes across as real, not some cheesy shock-shtick.

So cool. I love Xorcist.

I love when bands do awesome stuff like this, and it's not even ruined by some crappy compression method either. Definitely tossing him some cash.

I haven't listened to them before and I'm really digging the lushness and variety and weird samples, it almost reminds me of an industrial KLF for some reason.

I didn't see anyone else mention it, and I completely forgot about it too, but the new Chiasm album, 11:11, came out a few weeks ago. I haven't really given it a concentrated listen yet, but I've gone through it a couple times and I'm liking it a lot more than her previous work. There's a video for the first track, Petals.

Thanks, this slipped under my radar as well. Isolated was one of my most favorite electro-industrial songs ever, I hope she can bring something equally awesome.

I should have included this in my last post, but I wanted to specifically say that "Weirdos, Outcasts, Geeks, Dreamers and Rebels" often harbor disturbing power fantasies and seek empowerment from fascist, misogynist conventions.

To be honest, I can't support what some bands put in the imagery they present, regardless of whether they claim it's ironic and regardles of whether they mean it. Boyd Rice, for example, comes across to me as a creepy idiot with delusions of intellectualism, who does inappropriate things and claims he was taking the piss if he gets called out.

I went and read and his Wiki, what a total tool. "Gee these people paid to see me, how can I piss them off the most?!" :downs:

quote:

He has also used found sounds, played at a volume just below the threshold of pain, to entice his audiences to endure his high decibel sound experiments.

Rice coupled his aural assaults with psychological torture on audiences in Den Haag, the Netherlands, by shining exceedingly bright lights in their faces that were deliberately placed just out of reach. As their frustration mounted, Rice states that he:

..continued to be friendly to the audience, which made them even madder, because they were so mad and I didn't care! They were shaking their fists at me, and I thought that at any minute there'd be a riot. So I took it as far as I thought I could, and then thanked them and left

Listening to Da Octopusss right now, and just sounds like lo-fi generic electro to me. I like the gimmick though, and bet it sounds good in a club or live.

I love them for about 15 minutes then my ears need a break. It's actually exhausting somehow, in a way that other industrial bands aren't. Still, I really dig their grinding, dystopian sound and I'd like to hear about other bands that are similar. They are terrifying (in a good way) with a little :420:

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.

Fake edit: Collide, too. Haven't listened to them in a while.

Santa Hates You has Jinxy, one of the most kickass female vocalists around.

I remember not being very impressed with Grendel's Timewave Zero when it came out, but I didn't remember why. I went back today to relisten and see if I could make it click, and it's like...not even EBM, more like 90s house or something :psyduck:

Not EBM? I don't like their vocal style and it's definitely on the smoother side than terrordeathmurdercore or whatever the hell. But not EBM?

Yeah, it just sounds like ok generic electronic, none of the darker or more introspective musical elements I associate with Grendel or EBM in general. I'll give it a few more listens and see if it grows on me, though. I didn't like Harsh Generation that much at first either but now it's one of my favorite albums.

It's not bad I guess, but it sure is weak compared to what he used to do

I think this track of his represented the tipping point where EBM began to dominate the music I listen to.

Diary of Dreams owns and Adrian Hates owns and it seems like his new side project .com/kill owns, too. It's quite a bit more straightforward, aggressive and heavy than Diary of Dreams, but in a very clever way so it doesn't sound like a generic EBM band or anything. I really recommend you guys check it out.

Goddamn Adrian has to be one of the most depressed people ever. This poo poo is just so loving dark

e: I mean Diary of Dreams is probably one of the bleakest bands ever, but this is just some straight-up worryingly angry poo poo

That's pretty awesome. I was worried when that other post was talking about wobbles, but it seems he used them very sparingly. Everything else loving owns.

Chumbawamba's Tubthumber album is the only angry industrial pop ska album I can think exists. Are there any other bands that have put out similar to this? I've been listening to it for 16 years now and it never gets old, but I've always wondered if I've missed something.

They are not an industrial band, but all the elements of this album and the tone easily falls under the umbrella of today's definition of the genre. I actually feel it is the embodiment of industrial rock and come to think of it, I've actually listened to this album more than I have most of the essential industrial rock albums of the mid 90s. It is a frustrated semi nihilistic snide sarcastic look a social climate where you're getting hosed by the government, life, whatever, turn to drugs. Let's get drunk.

I'd love to know this also, I love Chumbawamba to death, even if they did go off the deep end toward the end (but who can blame them, they've been doing their thing since the 80s). An industrial cover album of the best Chumbawamba songs would blow my mind.

The Great Depression was the song that pulled me into this stuff and I'll always love him for that. Maybe when he runs out of money and has to go back to accounting we'll see some raging again.

Industrial music makes me feel the opposite of depressed. Anytime I feel down I just put something particularly noisy on, crank it up and I feel super happy again immediately. I feel like I can do anything when I'm listening.

I don't think I'm a particularly depressed or unhappy person either. The genre just affects me at a very fundamental level and makes me feel great, like no other type of music ever has.

Nerd is right though.

Yeah, industrial/EBM always cheers me up. I also really like it when I'm focusing on something nerdy like a building design project for school, I just get zoned out and warm fuzzy inside.

VNV Nation's Resonance album is out, consisting of... symphonic remixes of previous VNV songs?

I'm a huge VNV fanboy, and even I found it hard to listen to. The orchestration is perfectly nice, but man do Ronan's vocals not work in that environment. Further is one of my favorite songs, period, and its arrangement on the album just completely paled in comparison to the original, or even the Lifeforce cover.

Yeah, I've often thought how much better VNV would be without the vocal tracks, and they go and do the opposite :mad:
