Also, Suicide is very much an American analogue of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. They were doing the same goddamn thing at the same goddamn time (you could argue that DEVO was doing it as well… they’ve got tapes from the early 70s that were just as out there). I love Suicide and I’m a staunch defender of Martin Rev’s first solo LP. I think it’s a masterpiece of ambient techno that, while maybe y’all don’t like it, was clearly influential on folks like Richard D. James, Stefan Betke and Wolfgang Voigt. It’s SO GOOD!!

Something I tend to get a kick out of is that whenever I watch videos that discuss things like industrial, I always get this ad for the "skull shaver".
i feel like it's the only one with a big scene because of the mood and atmosphere it creates, and not because it's structurally similar like Wyatt said. there's a big overlap with gothic rock, industrial, alternative, ebm, trip hop, black metal etc.
@@lostangel17 cause goth clubs usually have two sections. The more aggressive electronic and industrial section made for the riveters (Rivet Heads), cybergoths, steampunk that are more modern and the old school goth, darkwave, alternative, deathrock and post-punk styles
Atrax Morgue is one of the most disturbing thing that someone can actually listen to. I dare anyone to listen to any of his records, sitting in the dark, with this music playing in your headphones, and not feel some kind of straight anxiety or utter discomfort. This guy truly captured these raw, strange and deranging emotions into his records.
I want a post metal iceberg ngl. Thank you for making these, so entertaining. Its rare i learn something new from a video like this but you pull that off a lot!
Im so happy you mentioned voiddweller they are very underatted . Also if your interested there's this industrial hip hop called tokyo deathwatch, there the most extreme industrial hip hop group mixing it with harsh noise
There's a sub category worth checking out called "Power Noise". It's basically heavily distorted rhythms & elements of noise to create this intense experience. Acts to check out would be Converter, Winterkalte, W.A.S.T.E., Monokrom, Asche & Noisex. Also pretty much anything on ant-zen records, hive, hands & hymen records. This subgenre doesn't get much discussion since the heydays of the scene kinda died around 2010 but damn is it worth driving in to.
This is fucking awesome! Industrial is probably my favourite genre (COIL4EVA) and you did it justice here. Also, your channel in general is amazing and pretty much got me listening to black metal again after years away. Keep it up, dude!
Coil are probably my favourite band of all time. Just such a wide variety of sounds and styles all executed wonderfully. Requiescat in pace Jhonn and Peter…
I'm quite surprised neither oomph! nor die krupps weren't on here, like maybe around tier 2, 3 or maybe 4. They both started out as a mixture of ebm and industrial metal and are major influences for rammstein. Lot of people would argue fear factory should be here if we are at it.
void dweller also need more recognition a good ep of their would be the war on christmas and you can find it on youtube and oh yeah void dweller have a youtube channel
Love the Strawberry Switchblade shirt! I really like industrial music, more of the goth and metal variety, so I got a few new recommendations and few reminders to check out. Still, can I define industrial music? heck no. Also the close connection neofolk and industrial seem to have is interesting.
"True industrial" needs to include Maurizio Bianchi, massive influence on all the industrial/death ambient in Italy, the Mauthausen Orchestra, Atrax Morgue, Morder Machine, Sodality, Ain Soph...etc
I totally agree with you. Maurizio Bianchi has always defined the boundaries and variety of electronic music for me. A man who can make the Holocaust somewhat comprehensible through the sheer claustrophobic brutality of sound and then go make some of the most complex and beautiful ambient music I've ever heard is truly the cutting edge imo. His variety amazes me with every album.
Awesome video, it's great to see an iceberg video where I finally know most of the acts from each tier! And although I've never been able to get into Coil I think they had a huge influence on Ulver, especially with their work in the 2000s and early 2010s.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the band Static-X in the Accessible Industrial tier, given that they're often brought up alongside Rob Zombie, Rammstein and the like, or Pitchshifter in Aggressive Industrial, since they were active during the same time that Godflesh and Ministry were doing their thing. I was hoping to see bands and projects like Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Scorngrain, Turmion Katilot, Neurotech, Fear of Domination, Deathstars, Shade Empire, T3CHN0PH0B14, and The Kovenant, to name a few, brought up in this video, but then again, despite often being labelled as industrial metal, they honestly lean more towards cyber metal despite their industrial influences. That aside, I'd like to bring up Dodheimsgard and Evelyn for those who are interested in hearing experimental black metal projects that utilize a lot of industrial elements in their music, and though this project isn't industrial, I still think it's worth mentioning Gonemage, who make what is essentially black metal in chiptune form.
I agree, plus with bands like Circle of Dust and Rabbit Junk. But I guess there's only so much he can talk about the more 'lighthearted' or 'accessible' stuff, being that the main subject of these iceberg vids are the more disturbing/underground music acts
Thanks for the great video! I have always been a fan of KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Machine Girl and Atari Teenage Riot but I had never heard of 'Death Industrial' before. It is safe to say that I have fallen down a rabbit hole and I have been listening to a lot of Atrax Morgue since watching this.
The most pissed off Aggressive industrial record that Broadrick ever made was "disconnected" by greymachine( JKB and aaron turner from isis), makes godflesh sound tame.
Greymachine is great and one of the few interesting things Turner has done, but no it hardly makes Godflesh lame. Its more Noise Sludge though akin to Khanate and even Trees.
@@patrickbertlein4626 Did I say lame? I said tame, would never say lame as Wyatt knows from where we've spoken before godflesh are my all time fave band would never say anything so blasphemous.
Thank you so much for this video! I awlays liked industrial/electronic elements in metal (Blacklodge, Mysticum, Iperyt, Godflesh) or Califonian rhymic noise project W.A.S.T.E., but I didn't know, how to start to explore this genre in its entirety, so you helped me a lot. EDIT: Wumpscut, Front Line Assembly and Scorn are awesome!
Another strong recommendation for death industrial: Schloss Tegal. Their album "The Grand Guignol" is one of the most nightmarish, bleak and depressive albums I know of
Maaaaan, great video. Cheers for including Big Black. I totally agree with you on them. I missed Laibach and Foetus, but you can't name 'em all and you made me discover many cool acts. :D
Having been creating industrial music and production for a while now I'll add that 1 stylistic thing of industrial is that it has a machine like sound. Like a factory or tools. Its got a machine like flow to it, as well as all the experimentation and stuff. Its such a massive genre and its one of my all time favorites.
You hit the nail on the head with how u described Atrax Morgue. I first discovered him on UA-cam years ago when I was still in high school and was mesmerized by that stuff; still am lol
I love that you mentioned Pierre Schaefer! Edgar Verese is another in a similar category who is very fun. Also, for those into noisey industrial hip hop, I can’t recommend Moodie Black highly enough. They’ve got four albums out now which are all absolute bangers.
Thank you for this as I’m quite behind on your stuff because I’m taking every artist literal in exploring. Each being another one of the over 1000 bookmarked so when it’s a familiar face’s discography its finally beating procrastinating. Thank you 🙏 again and for the Maenad Veyl introduction upon starting the xhim journey! Another artist worth everyone’s time whose a part of the “tr00” type I don’t see get enough recognition is Test Dept. Strapping Young Lad too. And Type O Negative has honourable industrial moments.
You should do a power electronics or power violence discussion video! I've always been interested in the genre but no idea where to even start and you seem to know a good amount about it.
I'm still a fan of the aggrotech/industrial bands from the early 2000s. Dawn of Ashes is still going strong and their sound has changed over the years, but are going back to the industrial sound (Mick Kenney from Anaal Nathrakh has produced and played guitar on a couple of their albums). Still listen to Psyclon Nine, not sure if Nero managed to get off drugs or not yet, hopefully they'll put out more stuff. Still love NIN since my teens in the 90s too. 3TEETH is easily accessible and are pretty good too.
the only reason that Marilyn Manson album even touches industrial is due to David Oglevie produced it, who produced most of the older skinny puppy albums, so it just sounded like skinny puppy
I didn't expect you to mention Pierre Scheaffer. Him, Luigi Russolo, futurists/bruitists were the forefathers of not only noise, but electronic music overall.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been wanting more of detailed explanations with historical contexts about industrial music. I've listened to most of artists/bands you mentioned in death Industrial, accessible industrial and aggressive industrial. I checked out Panic DHH, Void Dweller and some mentions from club industrial after this video. I admit that I don't know industrial music very well and your insights helped me to understand what makes an artist/band industrial little better although I'm still confused about it as before. At least, I'm starting to understand it.
fantastic job on this, impressive. really happy with some of the inclusions I think most would overlook, like stretching Big Black in there - agree! got some great recs too.
I saw Tool VIP 2nd row center January 2020, just before the pandemic. Author and Punisher opened for them. The bass was so loud it was uncomfortable. Like it was almost in the realms of danger music
Really enjoyed this video, I always get a bunch of great music when you do these so thanks. What do you think about making a Noise iceberg next? Idk if you're into Noise enough to make one but i'd like one for sure.
One hidden gem that a lot of people don’t know is severed heads. They’ve kind of rejected being labeled industrial, but their early albums, like since the accident, city slab horror, clean, and come visit the big bigot (though the latter is just somewhat influenced by industrial, I still love it), definitely are industrial. The story behind that and their band name is actually that they were pretending to be industrial (they basically didn’t take themselves very seriously and were playing around with stuff like trying to name things in the most terrible way possible and stuff), and then their album “since the accident” got a lot more popular than their previous stuff so now people knew them as severed heads and they kinda had to stick with that name despite absolutely hating it. They were a huge influence on skinny puppy actually, members of skinny puppy said in an interview that he (Tom Ellard, the guy behind this band, and yes this is one of those one person bands) taught them a lot about electronic music, about sampling, and about how everything can be used as a drum beat. They actually got severed heads to be on their label for some time. Idk with how popular (for good reason, I love their music so much) skinny puppy is, I think it’s kinda sad how few people know about severed heads. I’d recommend them especially if you are looking for a more electronic band that often has this sort of fake-ironically-cheerful thing going on and then contrasts that with darker more industrial sounds, or if you really like the more “accessible” or danceable electro-industrial and you kinda want to listen to something somewhat weirder, but in a different way that, say, throbbing gristle is weird.
Just liked every single post that shared out more stuff. This video has helped all of our muscial journeys more and its wonderful to see. Edited the hell out of my late night posts too so sorry for the engrish. Some more recs to mind are Xotox - Die Unruhe (Power Noise) and Dirge - Elysian Magnetic Fields (atmospheric sludge).
Yes this is a BIG one for early industrial and I just found out about them a couple years ago, when I got a chance to see them. They are one of those bands that at the time are a massive influence, but people just forgot.
I have a great deal of love for Current 93's early industrial material, particularly Dogs Blood Rising. "Raio no Terrasu (Jesus Wept)" is just such a wild concatenation of sounds. Genuinely horrific stuff.
@@NeroAngelo616 Their late stuff is also great. Don't get it twisted. It just appeals to slightly different sensibilities for me, although the same animating principle is there (quite literally).
@@NeroAngelo616 I mean, it's fine if you don't like their later work, but you don't have to be a weird jerk about other people having different tastes from you.
A band I like quite a bit used a shopping cart as an instrument, among other objects. I like older Ministry and KMFDM quite a bit. I tend to like industrial and metal mixed,like Red Harvest, who was influenced by Ministry. I also think Clock DVA is pretty good.
Im honestly surprised by how many of these I knew and had albums of. I would mention Curse of the Golden Vampire maybe around tier 3 or 4 although you had already mentioned alec empire and justin broadrick work. It's so good. Also ground zero around tier 3. Very sample heavy with guitar and turntable work. This iceberg ruled!
JPEG cites Throbbing Gristle as inspo, or at least fw them heavy. Veteran and everything beforehand definitely have an "Industrial approach" to Trap music and They still approach it that way here and there, but obviously branched out to an even more expanded reach of genres since AMHAC P.S. been very curious of your opinion on Machine Girl
Kluster’s album “Klopfzeichen” would’ve fit perfectly in true industrial, Throbbing Gristle owe a lot of their career to them & this is some chilling shit. The fact it came out in 1970 is insane.
Scanning all the other comments, thank you for sharing as most I don’t believe I’ve already bookmarked which is astonishing if I’m right. If I can share any more as a way of gratitude I’d recommend: Chu ishikawa - Tetsuo trilogy. Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill (1 in particular for this topic). Axis of Perdition - Deleted Scenes From The Transition Hospital. Blut Aus Nord - Thematic Emancipation…. & MoRt. Filmmaker - Vlad Tapes. N.K.V.D. - Totalitarian Industrial Oppression. Godkiller - The End Of The World.
I have the Einstürzende Neubauten logo tattooed on my arm. There has never been a more expansive, innovative and at the same time consistent group, and there will probably never be
Just a few more: Haus Arafna, MLWTTKK, Punish Yourself, Cyanotic, Wumpscutt, Android Lust, Unter Null, Uberbyte, Non, This Morn Omina, Yelworc, Vomito Negro. Sorry I just don't have the time to categorize them. BTW, great discussion.
Just thought I would jump in to say, just found your channel and this video looking for a particular band... but saw you put Swans in accessible Industrial. Though they have fans from industrial music and influence many industrial and goth groups, they are considered No Wave. But I do see why people might see industrial in there.
Neubauten was possibly the weirdest band I’ve ever heard. Also, pretty sure it’s pronounced “ein stur zein (the e is pronounced like how it is in the word (eye) noi bow ten”.
In regards to Peggy, I think he said in the Nardwar interview that he is very influenced by Throbbing Gristle, so I guess the industrial label is not that far fetched
I would have used the term metal industrial over aggressive but that is just me. All industrial is aggressive man! Accessible I would add Gravity Kills, but I would DEFINITELY not have Swans on the list next to KMFDM! Club you got to have VNV Nation and Apotygma Berzerk. In the industrial metal list Crawl, Skrew (members of NIN and Zombie), and Cold World is mandatory. Love the Death Industrial list a lot of my favorite bands. Also I would add a black industrial tier and move MZ 412 on that, adding Empire Auriga and Nagelfar. Add En Nihil to death industrial as well! Oh man and Terror Cell Unit but they are quite different. I can't help but keep adding to this...not even sure where I would include Sanctum and Burial Hex but some of my favorite shirt. Also Dark Ambient should be on here, Desiderii Marginis, raison d'etre, and more. Awesome Switchblade shirt! Always enjoy your videos, and obviously adding my thoughts to them! Also had to add a cool story of my goth days. Rudy from Wumpscut DJ'd a club night in Norfolk, this was probably 2001. Dalek is a great industrial hip hop group highly recommend!
Thing about SYL is like delerium they started as a front line assembly side project( SYL's first drummer was adrian white from FLA and Jed was also in front line), FLA is a weird one the two side projects got bigger than the main band!
The only album I've listened to on here was Bodycount thanks to Pad Chennington and it was pretty good. Definitely got lots of to check out! Thank you for another great video Wyatt!

Coil are probably my favourite band of all time. Just such a wide variety of sounds and styles all executed wonderfully. Requiescat in pace Jhonn and Peter…
@@ConvincingPeople They are so hit and miss for me but when they hit, its ecstasy.
@@patrickbertlein4626 Pretty much. They are one of few artists that deserve replays when your conflicted about them but equally respect them too.
how to destroy angels
I'm quite surprised neither oomph! nor die krupps weren't on here, like maybe around tier 2, 3 or maybe 4. They both started out as a mixture of ebm and industrial metal and are major influences for rammstein. Lot of people would argue fear factory should be here if we are at it.
THE BODY
They need more recognition, insanely good band
Pretentious bore whales made of soy.
THE BODY is suuuuuuper good!
void dweller also need more recognition a good ep of their would be the war on christmas and you can find it on youtube and oh yeah void dweller have a youtube channel
Love the Strawberry Switchblade shirt! I really like industrial music, more of the goth and metal variety, so I got a few new recommendations and few reminders to check out. Still, can I define industrial music? heck no. Also the close connection neofolk and industrial seem to have is interesting.
Haha -- nice catch! I hadn't noticed that.
"True industrial" needs to include Maurizio Bianchi, massive influence on all the industrial/death ambient in Italy, the Mauthausen Orchestra, Atrax Morgue, Morder Machine, Sodality, Ain Soph...etc
Aktivitat was a great album
I totally agree with you. Maurizio Bianchi has always defined the boundaries and variety of electronic music for me. A man who can make the Holocaust somewhat comprehensible through the sheer claustrophobic brutality of sound and then go make some of the most complex and beautiful ambient music I've ever heard is truly the cutting edge imo. His variety amazes me with every album.
Luciano Dari!
@@matanmeir1283 I will check him out right now. Many thanks ! Anyone with the Neubaten symbol for a profile pic will not steer me wrong.
Yes indeed, MB! ❤
I would add Cabaret Voltaire, Test Dept, Klinik, The Young Gods, early Dirge, Gridlock, Treponem Pal, early Fear Factory, early Pitch Shifter.
Awesome video, it's great to see an iceberg video where I finally know most of the acts from each tier!
And although I've never been able to get into Coil I think they had a huge influence on Ulver, especially with their work in the 2000s and early 2010s.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the band Static-X in the Accessible Industrial tier, given that they're often brought up alongside Rob Zombie, Rammstein and the like, or Pitchshifter in Aggressive Industrial, since they were active during the same time that Godflesh and Ministry were doing their thing. I was hoping to see bands and projects like Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Scorngrain, Turmion Katilot, Neurotech, Fear of Domination, Deathstars, Shade Empire, T3CHN0PH0B14, and The Kovenant, to name a few, brought up in this video, but then again, despite often being labelled as industrial metal, they honestly lean more towards cyber metal despite their industrial influences.
That aside, I'd like to bring up Dodheimsgard and Evelyn for those who are interested in hearing experimental black metal projects that utilize a lot of industrial elements in their music, and though this project isn't industrial, I still think it's worth mentioning Gonemage, who make what is essentially black metal in chiptune form.
I agree, plus with bands like Circle of Dust and Rabbit Junk. But I guess there's only so much he can talk about the more 'lighthearted' or 'accessible' stuff, being that the main subject of these iceberg vids are the more disturbing/underground music acts
Thanks for the great video! I have always been a fan of KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Machine Girl and Atari Teenage Riot but I had never heard of 'Death Industrial' before. It is safe to say that I have fallen down a rabbit hole and I have been listening to a lot of Atrax Morgue since watching this.
The most pissed off Aggressive industrial record that Broadrick ever made was "disconnected" by greymachine( JKB and aaron turner from isis), makes godflesh sound tame.
Greymachine is great and one of the few interesting things Turner has done, but no it hardly makes Godflesh lame. Its more Noise Sludge though akin to Khanate and even Trees.
@@patrickbertlein4626 Did I say lame? I said tame, would never say lame as Wyatt knows from where we've spoken before godflesh are my all time fave band would never say anything so blasphemous.
Thank you so much for this video! I awlays liked industrial/electronic elements in metal (Blacklodge, Mysticum, Iperyt, Godflesh) or Califonian rhymic noise project W.A.S.T.E., but I didn't know, how to start to explore this genre in its entirety, so you helped me a lot.
EDIT: Wumpscut, Front Line Assembly and Scorn are awesome!
Wumpscut is a fascist unfortunately (and yeah it sucks, I really enjoyed his music before I found out but now it just makes me feel sick)
Man. So much of this I haven’t even thought about in 10-15 years. Thanks for the refresher! You’re wise beyond your years on this
Another strong recommendation for death industrial: Schloss Tegal.
Their album "The Grand Guignol" is one of the most nightmarish, bleak and depressive albums I know of
Good catch. I was thinking of shouting out Navicon Torture Technologies myself, which is a very different flavour of miserable.
Maaaaan, great video. Cheers for including Big Black. I totally agree with you on them. I missed Laibach and Foetus, but you can't name 'em all and you made me discover many cool acts. :D
Having been creating industrial music and production for a while now I'll add that 1 stylistic thing of industrial is that it has a machine like sound. Like a factory or tools. Its got a machine like flow to it, as well as all the experimentation and stuff. Its such a massive genre and its one of my all time favorites.
thats why i love my s900
@@acheleg Whats that? Pls share
@@Metalkid1500 akai s900 12 bit sampler from 1984
You hit the nail on the head with how u described Atrax Morgue.
I first discovered him on UA-cam years ago when I was still in high school and was mesmerized by that stuff; still am lol
You got me out of my comfort zone so many times and I've discovered a lot of great music thanks to you,I really appreciate that.
Please check out Die Krupps 🙏 their early works are as industrial as it gets and their later day output is like Einstürzende Neubauten meets Rammstein
I love that you mentioned Pierre Schaefer! Edgar Verese is another in a similar category who is very fun. Also, for those into noisey industrial hip hop, I can’t recommend Moodie Black highly enough. They’ve got four albums out now which are all absolute bangers.
Excellent video G.
kudos for having SCORN playing in the background and the Strawberry Switchblade shirt!
Thank you for this as I’m quite behind on your stuff because I’m taking every artist literal in exploring. Each being another one of the over 1000 bookmarked so when it’s a familiar face’s discography its finally beating procrastinating. Thank you 🙏 again and for the Maenad Veyl introduction upon starting the xhim journey!
Another artist worth everyone’s time whose a part of the “tr00” type I don’t see get enough recognition is Test Dept.
Strapping Young Lad too. And Type O Negative has honourable industrial moments.
You should do a power electronics or power violence discussion video! I've always been interested in the genre but no idea where to even start and you seem to know a good amount about it.
Club industrial is like the southern rap of industrial music. Dumb but fun.
I'm still a fan of the aggrotech/industrial bands from the early 2000s. Dawn of Ashes is still going strong and their sound has changed over the years, but are going back to the industrial sound (Mick Kenney from Anaal Nathrakh has produced and played guitar on a couple of their albums). Still listen to Psyclon Nine, not sure if Nero managed to get off drugs or not yet, hopefully they'll put out more stuff. Still love NIN since my teens in the 90s too. 3TEETH is easily accessible and are pretty good too.
There's a new P9 album out now
Dawn of Ashes is okay, but I like Psyclon Nine more.
@@xo.toxiin Agree
Cool to hear about AN!! Think he has also done some pop shit.
@@marikoth nice, I'll need to check it out!

the only reason that Marilyn Manson album even touches industrial is due to David Oglevie produced it, who produced most of the older skinny puppy albums, so it just sounded like skinny puppy
A lot of really great recommendations here. I knew about half of these albums but the other half got me really excited to dive into. Thank you!!
Awesome video, very informative. I learned about so many cool new acts. Thanks!
Great video- love when industrial gets the spotlight. thanks alot!🤟🏻
best music channel for discussion
I didn't expect you to mention Pierre Scheaffer. Him, Luigi Russolo, futurists/bruitists were the forefathers of not only noise, but electronic music overall.
Been wanting to get into industrial a lot so this definitely helps 👍
Thank you so much for this video. I've been wanting more of detailed explanations with historical contexts about industrial music. I've listened to most of artists/bands you mentioned in death Industrial, accessible industrial and aggressive industrial. I checked out Panic DHH, Void Dweller and some mentions from club industrial after this video. I admit that I don't know industrial music very well and your insights helped me to understand what makes an artist/band industrial little better although I'm still confused about it as before. At least, I'm starting to understand it.
Made some Interesting choices. Props for mentioning Horse Rotovator and Plague Mass
you're the man bro, best channel!
fantastic job on this, impressive. really happy with some of the inclusions I think most would overlook, like stretching Big Black in there - agree! got some great recs too.
It's weird I think I started at the "true industrial" tier and the first two at the same time while getting into the genre
Great God!! I was just listening to Scorn and there you are playing it in the background!!
I saw Tool VIP 2nd row center January 2020, just before the pandemic. Author and Punisher opened for them. The bass was so loud it was uncomfortable. Like it was almost in the realms of danger music
Really enjoyed this video, I always get a bunch of great music when you do these so thanks. What do you think about making a Noise iceberg next? Idk if you're into Noise enough to make one but i'd like one for sure.
Spk will never cease to amaze me
Happy to see dälek getting some highlight
I would die for a goth iceberg video 🙏🙏🙏 this was fantastic
Dude would probably put industrial, metal and emo bands in the list when that stuff isn't even goth.
@@lostangel17 i sure hope not, I am expecting post-punk stuff, deathrock, dark wave and the like though
One hidden gem that a lot of people don’t know is severed heads. They’ve kind of rejected being labeled industrial, but their early albums, like since the accident, city slab horror, clean, and come visit the big bigot (though the latter is just somewhat influenced by industrial, I still love it), definitely are industrial. The story behind that and their band name is actually that they were pretending to be industrial (they basically didn’t take themselves very seriously and were playing around with stuff like trying to name things in the most terrible way possible and stuff), and then their album “since the accident” got a lot more popular than their previous stuff so now people knew them as severed heads and they kinda had to stick with that name despite absolutely hating it.
They were a huge influence on skinny puppy actually, members of skinny puppy said in an interview that he (Tom Ellard, the guy behind this band, and yes this is one of those one person bands) taught them a lot about electronic music, about sampling, and about how everything can be used as a drum beat. They actually got severed heads to be on their label for some time.
Idk with how popular (for good reason, I love their music so much) skinny puppy is, I think it’s kinda sad how few people know about severed heads. I’d recommend them especially if you are looking for a more electronic band that often has this sort of fake-ironically-cheerful thing going on and then contrasts that with darker more industrial sounds, or if you really like the more “accessible” or danceable electro-industrial and you kinda want to listen to something somewhat weirder, but in a different way that, say, throbbing gristle is weird.
Industrial music. Scorn playing in the background. Strawberry Switchblade and Lord Of The Rings....its going to be a good day
Almost a 53 min long video!? You’re spoiling us rotten Wyatt! Many thanks!
Pitchshifter were very much innovators of aggressive industrial too.
Just liked every single post that shared out more stuff. This video has helped all of our muscial journeys more and its wonderful to see. Edited the hell out of my late night posts too so sorry for the engrish.
Some more recs to mind are Xotox - Die Unruhe (Power Noise) and Dirge - Elysian Magnetic Fields (atmospheric sludge).
Great iceberg! One band I'd like to add is Test Dept., especially their album The Unacceptable Face of Freedom.
Yes this is a BIG one for early industrial and I just found out about them a couple years ago, when I got a chance to see them. They are one of those bands that at the time are a massive influence, but people just forgot.
@@patrickbertlein4626 some good shit, I discovered them via a trent reznor interview talking about how hes not industrial ofc.
Your Iceberg videos are so good.
should have named this
"Thee industrial iceberg" lol iykyk
6:55 could‘ve talked way more about industrial-influences in electronic music like industrial hardcore techno for example.
Love the shirt!! 🍓🔪
I recommended the album Crimes Against White America by CBN for a blend of noise/power electronics and industrial hip hop
Your icebergs are on point! Subbed! I'm not sure why I didn't sub before
I have a great deal of love for Current 93's early industrial material, particularly Dogs Blood Rising. "Raio no Terrasu (Jesus Wept)" is just such a wild concatenation of sounds. Genuinely horrific stuff.
underrated, before Current 93 became a whine.
@@NeroAngelo616 Their late stuff is also great. Don't get it twisted. It just appeals to slightly different sensibilities for me, although the same animating principle is there (quite literally).
@@ConvincingPeople whatever that means. It's all too same sounding to forget caring.
@@NeroAngelo616 I mean, it's fine if you don't like their later work, but you don't have to be a weird jerk about other people having different tastes from you.
@@ConvincingPeople Its about understanding them, not about agreeing.
Best ever industrial music that's not lumped in with industrial; VIVENZA. Litteraly the sound of machines banging each other.
A band I like quite a bit used a shopping cart as an instrument, among other objects. I like older Ministry and KMFDM quite a bit. I tend to like industrial and metal mixed,like Red Harvest, who was influenced by Ministry. I also think Clock DVA is pretty good.
disco industrial- thrill kill kult, power electronics like praga khan. clubbin is fun & poppy
, but tkk had lots of luscious background noise
why you didn't include cabaret voltaire?
It was a notable omission.
Im honestly surprised by how many of these I knew and had albums of. I would mention Curse of the Golden Vampire maybe around tier 3 or 4 although you had already mentioned alec empire and justin broadrick work. It's so good. Also ground zero around tier 3. Very sample heavy with guitar and turntable work. This iceberg ruled!
I think this is the only place on the internet where you can find Filth labeled under "accessible" lol. I'd stick it down to tier 4 personally
No Cabaret Voltaire? Sad...
can you do one for doom/sludge and thrash? Sorry big fan of thse i discover new bands this way
JPEG cites Throbbing Gristle as inspo, or at least fw them heavy. Veteran and everything beforehand definitely have an "Industrial approach" to Trap music and They still approach it that way here and there, but obviously branched out to an even more expanded reach of genres since AMHAC
P.S. been very curious of your opinion on Machine Girl
Curious when he cited and talked about them
@@TheGOAT-j9u nardwuar showed him a record of theirs where he gave them praise
It feels like industrial is a tag that can be added to anything that's noisy
Kluster’s album “Klopfzeichen” would’ve fit perfectly in true industrial, Throbbing Gristle owe a lot of their career to them & this is some chilling shit. The fact it came out in 1970 is insane.
Scanning all the other comments, thank you for sharing as most I don’t believe I’ve already bookmarked which is astonishing if I’m right.
If I can share any more as a way of gratitude I’d recommend:
Chu ishikawa - Tetsuo trilogy.
Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill (1 in particular for this topic).
Axis of Perdition - Deleted Scenes From The Transition Hospital.
Blut Aus Nord - Thematic Emancipation…. & MoRt.
Filmmaker - Vlad Tapes.
N.K.V.D. - Totalitarian Industrial Oppression.
Godkiller - The End Of The World.
Very good vid. Nice choices
I have the Einstürzende Neubauten logo tattooed on my arm. There has never been a more expansive, innovative and at the same time consistent group, and there will probably never be
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY TYSM :333, loved the video
Just a few more: Haus Arafna, MLWTTKK, Punish Yourself, Cyanotic, Wumpscutt, Android Lust, Unter Null, Uberbyte, Non, This Morn Omina, Yelworc, Vomito Negro. Sorry I just don't have the time to categorize them. BTW, great discussion.
Thank you for this observation.
Great to hear Scorn in the background
I'm not into industrial music, but these icebergs are fun, keep em coming.
"I'm having a really bad acid trip, but i dont care" is probably the most industrial sentance ever spoken
Diagnose Lebensgefahr definitely would fall on a lower tier on this behemoth
Thy disease from Poland is also a pretty good death metal band that incorporates industrial music together. Pretty good stuff.
Just thought I would jump in to say, just found your channel and this video looking for a particular band... but saw you put Swans in accessible Industrial. Though they have fans from industrial music and influence many industrial and goth groups, they are considered No Wave. But I do see why people might see industrial in there.
I never really left tier 1. This has really opened up my ears. Thanks for making this👍😃
Loving the Scorn background music!
Didn't even recognize that but I knew their was a industrial metal band I was forgetting to mention!!
One of my favorite albums!
Neubauten was possibly the weirdest band I’ve ever heard.
Also, pretty sure it’s pronounced “ein stur zein (the e is pronounced like how it is in the word (eye) noi bow ten”.
that scorn album playing in the background made me feel like I had condemned: criminal origins running
In regards to Peggy, I think he said in the Nardwar interview that he is very influenced by Throbbing Gristle, so I guess the industrial label is not that far fetched
I would have used the term metal industrial over aggressive but that is just me. All industrial is aggressive man! Accessible I would add Gravity Kills, but I would DEFINITELY not have Swans on the list next to KMFDM! Club you got to have VNV Nation and Apotygma Berzerk. In the industrial metal list Crawl, Skrew (members of NIN and Zombie), and Cold World is mandatory. Love the Death Industrial list a lot of my favorite bands. Also I would add a black industrial tier and move MZ 412 on that, adding Empire Auriga and Nagelfar. Add En Nihil to death industrial as well! Oh man and Terror Cell Unit but they are quite different. I can't help but keep adding to this...not even sure where I would include Sanctum and Burial Hex but some of my favorite shirt. Also Dark Ambient should be on here, Desiderii Marginis, raison d'etre, and more.
Awesome Switchblade shirt!
Always enjoy your videos, and obviously adding my thoughts to them!
Also had to add a cool story of my goth days. Rudy from Wumpscut DJ'd a club night in Norfolk, this was probably 2001.
Dalek is a great industrial hip hop group highly recommend!
I would also add Filter to the Accessible part.
Another great iceberg as always! Though I think one band that should have been included is Strapping Young Lad.
Thing about SYL is like delerium they started as a front line assembly side project( SYL's first drummer was adrian white from FLA and Jed was also in front line), FLA is a weird one the two side projects got bigger than the main band!
The only album I've listened to on here was Bodycount thanks to Pad Chennington and it was pretty good. Definitely got lots of to check out! Thank you for another great video Wyatt!
