Industrial Addiction

The depeche-mode.com web site has made a round up of all the Depeche Mode news they could get their mitts on and things look bright for the ‘black swarm’ herd. The band will hit the studio in March to work on a few pre-produced songs that songwriter Martin Gore has been working on . Together, he will be working with Sie Medway-Smith (Erasure, Client, Depeche Mode)in the home studio of Gore which is located in Santa Barbara, CA. Along with some of those songs, rumor has it that they may add a possible inclusion of some Dave Gahan’s material.

Well now, this song is one that of memories. The song name is “Industrial Love” by In Strict Confidence and remixed by none other than, VNV Nation!
Now the movie is Metropolis by Fritz Lang… old, corny, and fits perfectly with the overall theme of the song. I was surprised to see a lot of the hits were able to be matched to the beat. Even though this movie is the “crap of the crop”, it needed to be shown on Industrial Addiction.
So, sit back, enjoy the trip back into time, poke fun at the oddity of the movies …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

I’ve always listened to music while I work. It seems to make the day go by faster when I do, not to mention, it makes it more enjoyable. This is even more so when I am able to listen to music that I enjoy. I believe this is true for everyone.
So one day after I became unemployed and was job searching, I wanted to expand my music collection of industrial music. I came across a site that not only had industrial music, but it has blues, ambient, techno, gothic, and even rock! They also have another added benefit that …read more

One thing I absolutely admire, and love about industrial music is how much can be portrayed by both the fans and bands. For one, Industrial music is very political; the same with punk music. With that being said industrial music, as a result, isn’t mainstream, well liked, and can be very hard to dance to.
The benefit from industrial being political is that there are some issues that can be addressed and it will be more accepted then if someone just shot off their mouth, stating their views. So when a fan of a band throws together a video …read more

This band is its own world. Their website Mindinabox.com not only shows that with just a glance at the homepage, but their music is something that is not for the simple of mind. Mainly classified as Synth-Pop blended with Dark Wave and Electronica. Wonder if this band ever runs out of plugs for their equipment. BA DUN CHING.
Any who, their sound is phenomenal, for a lack of a better word since they have not only created boot stomping, body shaking, dance till you collapse music for the clubs and personal enjoyment in the car, but for video games. Their …read more
