post #1 of 51

I recently aquired the album : the downward spiral from NIN, never having heard the band before (unless you count Quake) and I was very pleasantly surprised. I dont reallly like hard rock or metal or punk (only Mogwai), I listen to more positive-outlook music usually, but this is good. Can you recommend similar albums/artists?

i just thought that was amusing, because Mogwai is neither hard rock, nor metal, nor punk. also, your apparent assumption that those genres have some sort of inherently negative outlook is largely false

NIN does, sure, but NIN is sorta nihilistic industrial metal.. so that makes sense.

anywho, as for other bands.. check out Throbbing Gristle, KMFDM, Ministry, Pigface, or a group called Severed Heads.. though that one may be a bit hard to swallow. actually, all of those may be a bit hard to swallow.. you could try Stabbing Westward for something more immediately accessible.

Yeah, but it is the only thing that I listen to that comes close. I might have misstated the negative thing, but these genres do sound agressive.

That was a joke right?

Also, add to that list Revolting Cocks, Psychic TV, Coil, Chemlab, The Swans, Murder Inc, Die Warzau, Tinfed, Front Line Assembly, and Front 242.

For more accessible I point towards Sister Machine Gun.

Also, I think Further Down The Spiral was much better than the original release The Downward Spiral.

If you like the guitar driven "industrial", then check out 16 Volt if you can. Eric Powell is a poor man's Trent Reznor who pens hard songs with a lighthearted touch.

Letdowncrush and Supercoolnothing are great albums to introduce oneself to.

Marilyn Manson
Orgy
Cradle Of Filth
Children Of Bodom

Candiria

ministry (revco, lead into gold, all the ministry spin offs)
kmfdm
skinny puppy
thrill kill kult
front line assembly
ok yea... the tear garden, not really a skinny puppy spin off, but sort of is.
They are awesome!
front 242...

industrial takes 3 spins, more edgy noisy rock metal (progressive), freakish dance music, then just outright weird and noisy.

Those are a few...

but of course, my favorites stuff, that allowed for this music to happen : david bowie, pink floyd, and a group tangerine dream (which im really not to knowldegable on).
Marilyn manson? Total trash.. sorry to say, but they fell way off, and they were never very good to begin with.

Hey, I just aquired 3 tangerene dream cds.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I'll try to get my hand on a few of those...

i've been into industrial music since early 90's, but the bulk of the scene was kinda over by then i guess... Yet if you wanna dig up in the crates, i got lots of artists in mind if you guys want me to compile some sort of list.

I gotta confess i'm not so into it anymore, but i paid my dues and have spent alot of interest in this kind of culture and music. Though, i can't stand these types of clubs, and i'm really what you might call a sell-out, since i like other types of music as well.


heh then again, i opened my mind : ]

err, yeah.. i wouldn't recommend any of those. especially children of bodom.. they're basically progressive power metal with black metal vocals, LOL. why you'd reommend them to someone looking for NIN spinoffs is beyond me.
