The Industrial Movement
The industrial movement started in the 70's but really started to grow in the 90's along with many other emerging genres of music. Initially, the sound was achieved with the transgressive experimentation of industrial machinery and noises, such as scrapping, scratching, loud clanging and heavy distortion. When the movement was fresh and new, the lyrics were often to argue a point or share an explicit opinion about social change.Over time electronic and synthetic material have become more acceptable.The term "industrial" was used by a record label (industrial records) Many bands such as throbbing gristle and Industrial pioneers soon adopted "industrial" as part of their sound. Like i mentioned earlier, the movement really got going in to 90's, with bands that KDFDM and Front line assembly.
From industrial several sub-categories have since evolved, many industrial bands also have elements of EBM (electronic body music), Darkwave, Rock and Metal. While EMB is usually very popular amongst underground listeners many people don't particularly like combining industrial noise with electronics as this detracts from the harsh noise intended. (its also often seen as pussy, weak or fake.)
If your looking for some good industrial bands, i can recommend the following (from a broad range of the genre) (and i also casually mentioned a few earlier if your willing to go back and find them!)
