Just a curious squizz,

how many of you like the following bands?

1. VNV Nation

2. Covenant

3. London After Midnight

4. Nitzer Ebb

5. Noisex

Was hoping to find some more softies who were into these genres

 

[GUYrenCE]

bro...why don't have

DEATHSTARS
DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY
NINE INCH NAILS??

 

[saito]

I'm trying to stay away from the bigger names- otherwise NIN, Skinny Puppy, God Module would all be there too. Just wanted to find who else likes the same acts as myself - also whether there's potentially goths/rivetheads in soft (because I never bothered asking before)

You into this too?

 

[GUYrenCE]

yeah bro!!

but with a little more rock and heavy!!!

but im like a fool
being fool around

then now im busy with
MUSICALLY(IN)SANE

yeah...it's very very hard

 

[saito]

More rock and heavy?

KMFDM, HOCICO?

 

[Blodstyre]

You forgot abt Rammstein as well....

But VNV Nation is superb......




~meh~

 

[Dalif_Murderdoll]

You are an industrial kid?YOU SO RULE!!!

 

[SherT]

I dig stuff like Hocico, Suicide Commando, VNV Nation, Icon Of Coil, Velvet Acid Christ. Anything good to reccomend?

 

[pedialite]

Issit kinda like metal+techno?

I've listened to abit of rammsteinn before and I like it, and I just youtube-d god module and seen God Module - Victims Among Friends(Live), pretty neat stuff..

Any specific must-listen-to songs to introduce to me?

 

[kerplunk182]

Honestly, no idea who all the bands that are mentioned. Oh i've heard of Nine Inch Nails though...

 

[saito]

pedialite: Metal+techno - you are close, you are describing Harsh EBM. Although EBM has been described variably as "Gothic trance" or "Synthpop". You will like Hocico and Front Line Assembly and Angelspit.

I'll wait for more replies, then I'll put out a big recommendation post But happy there's a few people into this. I'm a big VNV Fan myself.

SherT- you got it!!! You are right on the money. Try some Assemblage 23, Haujobb, Razed in Black, Snog... maybe even a fair dose of Pride and Fall (new guys that are climbing the DAC chart right now)

if you want to get a earful of these tunes, do tune in to this web radio (its an american station): DigitalGunfire.com - Industrial, EBM, Futurepop, Internet Radio - alot of the latest stuff too!

This is what me and X'ho were playing at Alternation all these months too. (We just shut the event, but I might open something in Butterfactory soon though ^^) I regularly get promos from Germany from Metropolis, NMMV etc because there's only 4 goth DJs in the whole country: X'ho, Myself, Netheraven, ADX. Be more than happy to exchange music if anyone wants to work with me to promote this kind of sound

 

[AEnimic]

I like that type of music and I will go search for all those bands right now.
God Module is awesome.

Have you guys tried E Nomine? He's cool, abit too draggy in certain songs..but the chants and such just gives a very gothic feel to the whole industrialised music.

And yeah,do you know of any of these kind of music? The type that has chants and church choir sounds in industrial music?

 

[Dalif_Murderdoll]

Ive been listening to Mortiis recently and im hooked!His recent albums may sound a tad commercial but if you take a listen to his older albums,its like a gem waiting to be unearthed

 

[empihsrow]

Rammstein! Rammstein!

Anyway how is industrial = techno + metal? Industrial is much better than f**king techno which every beng plays.

Anyone heard Puritania by Dimmu Borgir? It's an industrial metal-like song and I think it's really a nice and tight song.

<quote>Anyway how is industrial = techno + metal? Industrial is much better than f**king techno which every beng plays. </quote>

Totally agree with you, but one small misunderstanding:

I was referring to Techno as in the 4/4 130bpm-ish context (real techno). Not referring to the stylings of "Ah beng techno" a.k.a Eurodance.

You should try out Celldweller, its a metal EBM hybrid

 

[AEnimic]

Oh Celldweller is nice.
And yeah, Industrial has techno elements in it. But some sounds rather 80s sounding rather than the beng techno style.

 

[saito]

yeah! New wave 80s / synthpop. Believe it or not but depeche mode, duran duran, petshop boys were the forerunners of EBM and currently even VNV and Apoptygma Bezerk is classified under "Futurepop"

I love "parasite God" - always one of the starting numbers I play usually

 

[empihsrow]

I think it's more of a electronic sound rather than the "techno" sound, if you get my point. Because as far as I'd heard from industrial bands, the elements used are very different as compared to all those dance/techno/whatever that all those clubs play.

 

[saito]

Hi empihrow: got to contest your point. I've been playing 'conventional' club genres for a while as part of the job - the newer industrial/EBM/futurepop tracks borrow alot from trance and techno. In fact songs such as "Silence" by delirium, "Kathy's song" by Apoptygma Bezerk (that incidentally even scored a remix by Ferry Corsten) and "Headhunter" by Front 242 have made it onto dance charts
