You may also look at female fronted Industrial, the only good ones I know of are Kidneythieves (they're great! You won't regret listening to them) Free Dominguez's voice is truly magical and she's like the female version of NIN(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q5e7d7GKw0) plus she does Industrial Metal.
Another is Eowyn though her genre can be called Industrial Christian Rock, if that's actually a genre(http://www.eowynmusic.com/). Her first album 'Identity', was done in her basement I hear(if that isn't metal and brootal,I dunno what is), yet it topped the christian album charts for weeks until it was remastered by a label but is in the same spirit of the first recording is still there and the video at Youtube was done by fans at her church.
Another is Emilie Autumn, though her genre is Gothic Industrial(this is a type of way to dress, so that isn't correct) so her genre more accurately would be called VictorianIndustrial with the violins replacing guitars and her having an operatic voice(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Opheliac-Deluxe-Explicit/dp/B004LJYOUS/ref=sr_shvl_album_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1312638158&sr=301-2). She is deeply dark though, might be because she's bipolar. Her albums are hard to find though, her Deluxe Limited Version CD, Opheliac sold out in 4 days.
The rest of female fronted industrial is crap IMO, QueenAdreena is decent but a bit off, I welcome other recommendations as long as it's female fronted.

Listen to Angelspit, they have a female lead singer. Their first album was one of the most inventive industrial albums in the recent times. After that they kinda stagnated though. They had a new and refreshing sound, and then just got kinda lazy.

Oh yes indeed I love Industrial.
Although I primarily love the original form of industrial, and I actually dislike EBM
My favorites are definitely Coil, SPK, Merzbow, KMFDM, Laibach, NIN, Tweaker.
Other than that I also love Mindless Self Indulgence and Dr. Steel, although those are on the border line of what you'd call industrial.

Merzbow, how can anyone enjoy that s***?

But in all honesty the merzbient series of albums and his work with Boris are actually really good. He understands how to make music, he just rarely does it.

I hated Merzbow upon first listen, but it's just something you have to force yourself to like it.
Once you listen to a bunch of his better works with an open mind, you can see that they are actually not half bad.

I learned to appreciate metal this way as well. There was a time I just couldn't understand why people would listen to that. Then I decided I'd force myself to listen to Iron Maiden for three days without listening to anything else. And in the end I suddenly appreciated a major part of the metal genre.
(ignore this if it sounds like a big fairytale to you)
