Industrial Addiction

Theatre of Tragedy is shown in the music video and the song Machine. VNV Nation did this remix and there is a lot of love coming from this music video because of it. This video is one of the few that is actually decent in the overall quality and music that has been posted on Torture Tuesday.
With that being said, Enjoy this succulent morsel of decency. . Just kidding. It’s very hard to find a well created video to industrial music, so I am proud to share this will everyone;even if you have already seen it.
As Always, …read more

Well, one thing I have noticed is the industrial bands seem to be closer than many other genres of music. Reason being is that I constantly hear and see remixes done by other bands after the initial release of a bands song such as Das Ich – Destillat which VNV Nation also did a remix.
This brings a new feel toward the genre and a sort of surprise to the fans as far not knowing which song is going to have a touch of another of their favorite bands.  Granted some of the remixes should have been left as a thought …read more

There are so many bands that have contributed to the success and evolution to the industrial genre of bliss. However with any musical genre, many bands have gone unnoticed and some where close to being forgotten.
In this time and hour of the century, when people ask: “What are some of the most influential bands for industrial music?” people often give the response of bands such as Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Oghr, :Wumpscut, Pigface, & K.M.F.D.M. Though these bands have done a great number on seeing industrial music keep a presence and expand, the band Kraftwerk, has often been …read more

Over the past few months I.A. has covered Electronica, EBM, Gothic, Synth- Pop, and Dark Wave. All next week, however, there will be a special week of ambient, and ethereal posts. (I haven’t forgotten this genre!!)
This is a genre that has been long associated with industrial but not many see it that way. It is and so it shall be covered in I.A.
On a second note, I.A. is expanding and is now on Myspace! So fellow readers and lovers of industrial why not put a picture to all those comments and add I.A. to your Myspace! You can …read more

Well Hello ladies and gents. Normally I utterly loathe fan made music videos but this one is done fairly well. Razed In Black – Visions is the last video on the Triple Torture Tuesday list. Yes Yes I know you all are sad, but no worries, more videos will be on next Tuesday! Onward and upward…
Visions is off the Damaged album which was released in 2003 by Cleopatra Records. The over album is a huge hit and has many remixes as well as original mixes by the band. Razed in Black has been adored by many for years, and has …read more

DJ Amateur night for Doom and Gloom sounded okay to go to even though I knew I was going to tear apart the transition styles of the DJ. Granted, yes, they could be decent but then again there is a reason on why the flyer said amateur.
Yes I am an amateur DJ as well. Even before I got into being a DJ I knew a 90 BPM song just doesn’t mix well with a 129 BMP song. Ever heard the saying “It’s like trying to fit a square in a circular hole”? Just throwing it out their folks.

Now what song can be better than this one… I mean right off the bat the sensuous voice of a female can be heard that would make most guys blush. Not to mention the fact that I’ve accidentally yelled “Oh MY GOTH!” instead of “Oh MY GOD!” from listening to this song so much.

The hypnotic melody and seductive lyrics from both the male and female singer can make any industrial fan bite their lip out of shear ear-pleasing pleasure while jamming out to this song.

Razed in Black has been around since 1984 and was formerly known as …read more

Here’s the club update for the week. Went there reallllllly late. Actually only spent 2 hours there but it was still interesting. The play list was a bit better then last time and the DJ did only mess up one transition, so, at least I know he’s working on his stuff. <3
Any who. Zeromancer, Covenant, Ministry, Wumpscut, and some Razed in Black were the bands of choice that night (from what I was able to hear). So it was a good night in that area. One thing that was very new as well was the whole feel of the club. …read more

Suicide Commando has been around for years. Well 20 years to be exact and they are still pumping out albums, rocking fans, baffling novices and keeping the music at its best. Over the 20 year onslaught of melodical bliss, Suicide Commando is bringing out their 7th album called X.20 (Best Of).
The CD will have 15 handpicked, fan adored songs, original and club hits. That’s right, I said FAN PICKED. Right there is one in-your-face reason to love Suicide Commando. Metropolis Records is the proud label to be putting out this album.
The only thing I hope that doesn’t …read more

Starting off, I will dedicate Wednesday to the club nights spent here in Norfolk. Hopefully this will give a more enveloping feel to the site. Not to mention a way for the people of I.A. to see what the clubs are like here in VA. (So far nothing to jump up and say “YES… I’m so there.”) 
Well this week’s club was interviewing a new DJ that in all honesty needed to learn more about transitions in industrial music and the likes. Yes I know it can be hard to find the best transition for songs, but when the floor dies …read more
