Industrial Addiction

Hrm nice beat, not a lot of lyrics. Good for the mind numbing effects if you so wish to have it. Mater Control, which is found on “The Joy of Gunz” album is a great song to dance to as well as lose yourself in the beat. Not only is this song easy to dance and loose yourself to, it can be a great song to just have playing in the back ground when playing a FPS (First Person Shooter). Try timing the head shots with the beat and see how see if “Godlike” can be accomplished in less than …read more

This band is considered to be the “Glam Rock” of Nirvana but with their song, Post Blue I believe they have a taste for what can be related to industrial. It would be more geared toward that of Synth-Pop but still, the roots are there.
Most of their songs are derived from the styles of U2, Weezer, and David Bowie. The band has done a few cover songs from Depeche Mode, which is a start into getting into the whole industrial scene and the closely related styles of Synth-Pop, Dark Wave, EBM , and Gothic.
The band is comprised …read more

Many consider industrial to lack lyrics and focus only on the sounds of music that can be made from the various electronic equipment found throughout the market these days. That is a very unfair and unjust way to look at things considering music changes with the times.
Year after year, music is not only changing because it wants to, but also because people demand it to. Hip – Hop wasn’t as prevalent sounding as it was in the past. This so because society demanded a new form of it and the hip hop found today is the outcome.

Rawr… now this song gets my blood pumping and heart just a racing. The beat, lyrics, and voice of the singer are something to reveal in. I LOVE THIS SONG.
If you ever close your eyes and sing along to this song, your worries and pain will cease. 
This is so, simply because of how the of the beat is preformed, the tempo of it, how the singer stresses his tone in the song, and ultimately, how the song is overall presented and what it means to each individual who listens to it. 
Everyone relates a song to the current on-going’s of …read more

Ya know, industrial music has its ups and downs. For one, not a lot of people listen to it. Of course, the whole industrial scene is underground and that’s how many people like it, including some bands. Reason being is that they find it as a way to keep the fakes and posers out of the scene and the music true. The only backlash to this is that many people aren’t reached out to that would possible enjoy the various industrial styles. 
Industrial is comprised of many different forms. The most notable are, Synthpop, Darkwave, New Age, Gothic Rock (more or …read more

Juno Reactor’s Pistolero has been out for awhile but it hasn’t lost its thrill. Old and new rivetheads, gothics, and ravers alike all get lost in the screaming, explosions, and intoxicating cords of the Spanish guitar. Though some say that this Juno Reactor song isn’t industrial due to the fact that a guitar is present through out the entire song, I full heartily disagree. Bands such as Ministry, Combichrist, and even the Cure, had guitar solos through out their songs; some more than others.

Industrial isn’t just about songs that lack a guitar and use only electronic equipment to make …read more

Well it’s Friday the 13th and I’m on the move. So far I’ve been up for so long I’ve lost count. Last time I checked it was 25 hours straight at 10’ O Clock in the morning. It’s now 3:23 pm EST. I’m almost there. 7:35 pm EST is the scheduled time of arrival. Any who, through out this whole ride, my favorite genre of music has been blaring from my iPod which is jacked into my head. Sounds like bliss, no? Hitching a ride, listening to the favored music, while you count the hours till you can see the …read more

Oh yes, Ministry. Can’t say I’ve kept my eyes on this band since they started their own record label called 13th Planet Records in 2004. Yes I know, slacking. Oh well get over it; I’m making up for it.

A friend recently asked me to do an overview of the band. First thing that came to mind was “SON OF A @&^%#! … hrm… Could be cool.” So here it is. His heart filled plea of “Give me Ministry or give me… Lacuna Coil!”, will be addressed. What can I say, I love my reader’s.

First off I …read more
