My incessent looping of Rammstein's albums is driving my family crazy - for their sanity, I would like to venture further into the realms of industrial rock. Rammstein are my absolute favourite band. It used to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I'm slowly moving towards Rammstein as I'm getting along. So, does anyone know of/recommend any great industrial rock bands? TIA. [img]smile.gif[/img]

What do you define as industrial rock?

Nine Inch Nails.

In a nutshell, it's rock music with electronic sounds or samples, usually added by an electronic keyboard. Other sources of instruments are occassionally used as well, such as voilins.

That's probably not a very accurate definition of it, but that's my experience with it, anyway.

Hm... A friend recommended this, but I was too doubtful. Didn't know they were industrial; might start to check them out, now... Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Does Organ count? :D

Deep Purple then (come on the oldies)

Well, Nine Inch Nails is THE industrial band you should check out. You should also try bands like Orgy, Fear Factory, Tool, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Pitchshifter. Or even Laibach, Type-O-Negative, Rob Zombie, Filter, Prong, Faith No More/Fantômas/Mr Bungle, KMFDM, Front 242 etc for bands that are not exactly similar but which you will probably like as well.

Note to self: if you have any question about music, talk to Melusine.
Yes, Rob Zombie, Type-O-Negative and Fear Factory should be to your liking.

EDIT: yes, there was a typo in this gruesomly long post.

I just hope you didn't make Grojlach cry - he's the real music expert here.... ;)


I've seen FF live - they're OK, only problem is their singer - he really can't carry a single note, sings horribly off-key. But they're really tight apart from that. Hope you have fun!

Mel, have you ever seen Machinehead live? They are the day after I think, so i am thinking on making a couple of days out of it and going to see both.

*does search on IW for music threads*
Yes, I see your point. Well, that makes two people to talk to about music :D

Have I seen them? :D They were the FIRST band I ever saw live, at age fourteen. They were playing as a support act for Slayer back then and blew me away completely. I already knew their debut cd then, but live they were even better. I've seen them a couple of times after that, and they were good. However, I have no idea what they sound like nowadays, I only really was into them during Burn My Eyes and stopped keeping my eye on them after the second CD. But if they're still a bit like they were back then, I'd say it would be worth your while! Plus you could say hi to Robb Flynn for me, he was hot. ;)
