industrial metal...industrial crust...I'm still finding myself taking side trips with this stuff. I can't remember if that started again late last year or early this year.
Sin, from the Sin/Spine Wrench (ex-Deviated Instinct) split, is really good. I think its all they ever did, too. That disc isn't easy to find. It's too bad it hasn't been reissued on CD or made available again on bandcamp. Spine Wrench needs a discography CD/bandcamp as well, but I was particularly impressed with Sin.
Christbait from Austrlia is all over the place in styles, but their tracks on the Sounds of Ordinary Madness comp and Yeast album are quality industrial metal with a southern fried groove ala EyeHateGod, and sometimes Pantera. They must be popular there, because a discography 4LP was released this year.
Relapse just released the Realize* album. From Arizona of all places. It's good. Heavy. Their demo was impressive, so I've been looking forward to more from them. And a new, full-on industrial metal album in 2020? Into it. Recommended.
Decree - Fateless 2011 - this album is heavy and really good. Everything they did was great, not just the noteworthy Wake of Devastation album.
Pitchshifter - desensitized 1993 - I know some take issue with this band for infringing on Godflesh. Maybe you had to be in the UK at the time to understand that, but I like them. This album has aged really well. Back when everyone put a 20-minute silence on the last track to then hide a track at the end. I'm glad that trend is long gone.
EDIT: Realize is related to the power-violence band Sex Prisoner.
