Industrial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrNxkmRJTbk

Listening to this right now. Though it's more on the drone/dark ambient side.

If you're new to the genre or want something more rock-centric check out Foetus, Skinny Puppy and Sister Machine Gun.

If I'm not mistaken there's industrial rock.
It's like calling something ambient, it can be done with whatever.

>>74394256
It's was a category invented for techno sounding metal.

Can someone try to describe what industrial music is? I've listened to some entry level albums but I don't get what makes something industrial

>>74394336

It's basically a catch-all phrase for any sort of edgy, weird music or noise (many audio selections are literal non-music) that repulses normies but which attracts the interest of geeks, occultists, fedora-men and general weirdos. Production techniques often (but not necessarily) include (fairly) novel things like using tape loops, found sound, non-music, or just irritating noise. Also it's a really really WHITE PEOPLE genre, like more than most.

Subject matter often includes edgy and unpleasant things, references to machinery and the occult, but without the overt LOUD AGGRESSIVE DISSONANCE of, say, Metal, a cultural cousin.

Kind of interesting how TG haven't been namedropped just yet (it had to be done), guess others thought it would be gauche.

Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound hated how his music/noise was put in a box. I think he said something once about how they called his stuff industrial "because it's weird and the album covers are black." But Stapleton's musicnoise fits in pretty closely with the above, however much he hates it, and he also hung out with and colloraborated frequently with "other people in industrial music".

By TG you mean Throbbing Gristle right?

I've been listening to 20 Jazz Funk Greats and really liking it. Do you have any suggestions of similar albums

>>74394336
>>74394519 this guy has it but just fyi much of the reason that it's hard to pin down what industrial is is because the word originally was used to describe music released by industrial records and subsequently music that sounded like it should've been released by industrial records and that covers a fairly broad range of stuff. various industrial scenes also independently developed in several places around the world because the genre is basically experimentation with early electronic music tech and that naturally happened as those technologies became affordable to the average social pariah. for example Nochnoi Prospekt, ZGA, and Linija Mass all started making music that was indistinguishable from western industrial under the soviet regime despite having zero contact with the international industrial scene

I haven't been on this ride very long (a few years), but you should do the other earlier TG albums, just be advised that they're more lo-fi. Third and Final Report is a pretty good example of what I'm talking about - Sleazy's solo track is like a weird, vague field recording of men furtively discussing gay sex (?), and there's a backstory for Hamburger Lady that you get to look up.

As I said, subject matter is typically edgy. In "The First Annual Report", the very first song is a fifteen minute narration of some of what went on during the Moors Murders. The murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, are regularly described as the most evil people in Britain, so I'll let you fill in those gaps for yourself as well.

This "First Annual Report" was never officially released IIRC, and only came out years later as a bootleg reissue. I'm not sure of the circumstances around the decision not to release, but I believe that even the weirdos in TG realized that it was just too sensitive a subject for them to do, like releasing it back then might hazard their personal safety or something. (the murders had just happened like only 10-15 years earlier and were still pretty fresh in the British mind).

The stuff that I personally like is more ritual --- dark ambient, or else just just Steve-o being a weirdo. I don't care much for the more rock/louder end of things.

Something else that goes right in line with this is how "post punk" became every-which-way, coming out of punk. These two things were weird, and they were happening at the exact same time (mid-70s original incarnations going into 80s offshoots going into pop influence today).

"Old skool" punk and industrial were basically like 1975-1983 or something, however you want to slice it, and then their offshoots ran through the 80s and influenced pop acts like NIN and Rammstein and so on in the 90s. Once the internet broke wide and really got going about ten years ago, it became much easier for people who wanted weird stuff to just get it right away, so now people can readily do (consume) whatever.

also please go on discogs and check out the label " cold meat industry" and just check out stuff from there. great fucking label.

Something I didn't put here but which deserves mention: BDSM references are especially common. Cute references to leather and sex are an old saw that Rock album covers were doing all the time in the 70s and 80s, but "industrial-ish" commonly featured BDSM subject matter, still quite taboo at the time.

that's kinda the theme of industrial, BDSM, Ecstasy, heroinand alot of artists were gay and alot of them spoke about the stifes of AIDS among other gay toubles.

>>74394882
yeah I know that especially in some places there was essentially no difference between post punk and industrial scenes. if you read through this amazing blog you start to get a sense that the people in the balkans saw the two genres as more of a continuum than anything
