  • Here I delve into Industrial Metal and it's consequences. A genre most prevalent in the 90s and early 2000s, but one that still has a large fanbase and is just as relevant as ever thematically. I do not own the music. It is for educational and entertainment purposes, as always. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe. I appreciate it.

    I think Turmion Kätilöt is by far my favorite band of this genre. I listened to them for many years. Most people I know never heard of them and if I bring up a picture of the band they think they're a black metal band or something. There's an old flash animation from the Newgrounds days called Bunnykill which was probably a nod to Madness Combat, I don't remember, that used their soundtrack and that's how I discovered them.

    So there's a lot of information on the metalcore bands who fuse electronic elements in their music, it's called "electronicore", which I heard of, this has spawned a humorous genre called "nintendocore", which I've heard about as well, however, it's come to my attention that there is yet another similar genre, it's called "digital hardcore", I'm pretty sure this is what started it all, because digital hardcore to my knowledge was pioneered by Atari Teenage Riot in the 1990's, the metalcore electronic crud didn't begin until the 2000's I think. It's funny because I actually discovered digital hardcore through the breakcore/drum and bass communities, and I somehow found that some people like to fuse breakcore/drum and bass with metal, bands like Igorrr for example with their song "Very Noise". Digital hardcore is barely talked about on the internet, at least on RUclips, not many videos on it, most info redirects to Atari Teenage Riot and most references are aimed at them. Another band I can think of that does this style is a small band called "Rabbit Junk", the song "Locked" is a great example of this electronic breakbeat metal sound. So basically, if I am correct that digital hardcore started this trend in electronic in metal music, then thank digital hardcore for starting it all. (Excluding industrial rock/metal, which has a specific electronic sound, because digital hardcore sounds more general or diverse in electronic sound.)

Acumen nation, 16volt, clay people, sister machine gun, Apollyon sun, cubanate, wumpscut, stabbing westward, bile, treponem pal, pitchshifter, nailbomb, fudge tunnel that should keep someone busy but a lot of good bands definitely fall under industrial but maybe not metal.

    Hey man, I’m not sure your name but anyways, I wanted to ask you for music recommendations because it seems you’re pretty well read as far as metal goes. I really am looking for a similar sound to Alice In Chains heavier stuff, sludge type I guess. I really like pantera’s groove sound and some of Metallica too, I like doom metal and grew up on proto-metal and lots of the heavier grunge. I tried listening to the Melvins but I kinda really don’t like their singer, but I do really like their sound otherwise. I liked some of what I heard of acid bath but I can’t find any quality recordings of them which kinda ruins it for me, I tried listening to a couple of eyehategod’s stuff but I don’t really care for screaming all that much, maybe I just need to listen to more of their stuff. I’d really appreciate your input because I like the way you look at music and break it down. Also I love your channel dude.

    • @whatsinameme5258

      Alice in Chains are really one of a kind. Not really any band I can think of that sounds EXACTLY like them. But if you are just looking for Sludge with clean vocals, I highly recommend Down, especially if you like Pantera. Particularly the first two Down records. Likely you already know them if you watch my channel, but thought I'd mention anyway. Also Godsmack sounds AIC-ish on some of their stuff.

    NIN deserves a lot of credit for "gentrifying" industrial. A lot of industrial bands even classic ones like Skinny Puppy were very bland imo, not experimental enough nor musical enough to be interesting so it would just feel like rhytmic white noise. NIN made it poppy for better or for worse. Another thing worth praising Reznor for is his variety, NIN went on to do whatever the hell he wanted and themes were more personal. Even when machines were mentioned it was usually metaphorical like in Becoming.
