Industrial Rock & EBM

[Reprobate]

Although I started the punk/hardcore topic, I didn't immediately go straight from that to noise/p.e. Through all of that, I was introduced to Joy Division and Death in June and Swans. I've always loved NIN. Downward Spiral is still one of my favorite albums. Same with Antichrist Superstar. I didn't really get into EBM until recently. I'm interested in checking out some of the groups that have been mentioned. I've got stuff like Nitzer Ebb and what not. Anyone like //TENSE//?

Klinik ended in 1991 after the Time album when they both went their seperate ways. While Dirk became Dive (which was OK but too samey in the long run) Mark carried on under the name Klinik. Those albums are fucking awful and I'll never understand why he decided to do that. The last ten years of reunion gigs, remix albums etc is of no interest to me. I'm not surprised to hear about a new album. They are just one more band in a long line of tired old reunion bollocks. The original albums remain classics. No one needs the rest.

Speaking of :wumpscut:, is it likely that his early stuff was directly influenced by Genocide Organ?  The colons around the :wumpscut: name match the punctuation of GO's album titles.  Or maybe both are referencing something else that I'm unaware of.

Very possible. Most of the people I've gotten to know in Germany have much the same musical background as mine and overall it seems relations between industrial and EBM are quite close.

the very first Klinik solo album was ok, 'Contrast' the rest is well euh ....not-so-good lol.  imho their masterpiece is the "box" 3xlp. His work as PARA is more ealy Klinik-style. Cold, Hypnotic.

regarding :w:/go ....i've seen the same punctuations on old gravestones....maybe it's some medieval german thing?

SLEEP CHAMBER!!!

This wasn't my background but I'm getting more into this kind of stuff because my girlfriend is really into it and we've been enjoying the fetish nights around here lately. Really digging old(ish) Laibach, Bauhaus, Front 242, Einsterzinde Neubauten (sp?), SPK etc.

I always thought of Sleep Chamber, Laibach, Einsturzende Neubauten, SPK, etc. as more on the "real industrial" side compared to the stuff I started this topic for.  Man, this forum is elite.  :P

I don't know if this is on-topic: "Ribbons" by the Sisters is fabulous. The immediate, overbearing guitars over lush instrumentation; the repetitive structure with subtle variations and changing layers; the ridiculous "incoming!" alongside whispers and moody singing; and the multifaceted lyrics that sound somber and sensual on the surface fit the album title and the striking art of the scanlined eye of Horus before a faint picture of an "inner-city urban wasteland."

Wasn't "incoming!" thee intro to "Detonation Boulevard"?

Too shitty a day to be arsed to check.

Anyway... Skinny Puppy yes, Front 242, the "Evil" albums.

I've heard everything by Ministry and I only ever revisit "Dark side of the spoon" and parts of "Filth pig". The generic chugga chugga and self-righteousness is a hard pass. White trash, yeah, fine. Look who's talking.
