They crossed into the metal scene with their hit EP Broken.
Politically charged and a Billboard music staple, Ministry released Psalm 69 in After being inspired to make heavier music by thrash groups Stormtroopers of Death and Rigor Mortis , they sought out to get more aggressive with each passing album. Many older bands were either changing styles of music, dying off or going underground.
Records closed down. Metropolis Records within the US was changing and Cleopatra Records which did carry many industrial groups was shifting their business focus for more avenues while abandoning what made them great in the first place.
White Zombie disbanded with only Rob Zombie to return solo with a much less and weaker industrial metal sound. Godflesh disbanded entirely. Static-X was shifting towards more nu metal content.

He released his heaviest album at the time which was Pure. Another artist that was making waves within industrial metal however despite being regarded as a well favored release, this flew under the radar within the heavy metal scene. The album was heavy, it was dark and was even compared to such acts as Nine Inch Nails only with a gothic approach.
Rammstein despite gaining international success slowly phased out their industrial metal sound with their 3rd album Mutter. Some more industrial than others while some were not. Eisbrecher were one of the many to come out of NDH. Eisbrecher - Willkommen Im Nichts from self-titled.
With industrial music changing over the decade of the new millennium, the scene was shifting once again. With certain fans being burnt out on the new wave of industrial music and the over saturation of EBM groups, change was coming.
Industrial music as a whole was gaining a wider variety of newer acts like it once did. Industrial metal was making a bit of a come back as well as the entire industrial music scene.
Godflesh made a come back and begin touring by The industrial metal legends were back. In 3Teeth was formed. Out of the gates, this band was really getting noticed and fast. Thanks to metal band Tool , they are big fans of them. Records, this band is not one to miss out on. I know, not industrial metal but if you listen to industrial metal, you are bound to listen to industrial rock too.
The sound of industrial rock is the since principle as industrial metal, just without the heavy metal component. By far the best album from the band to this day. Although KMFDM are not an industrial metal act, they have enough heavier songs to crossover to the metal scene and back again.
Other notable acts were Orgy who had a brief moment of success with their New Order cover Blue Monday. The end half of the decade was also had such bands making it to the mainstream and having air time on Mtv as Filter , Gravity Kills and even Stabbing Westward. What really helped industrial rock reach a wide audience was visual media like television and films. Often times, these films would produce soundtracks. Much like most genres of music there are bound to be off shoot sub-genres.
One of these would be known as Industrial Black Metal. The first band to be cited was Mysticum. However this was mostly pure accident. In the early days of the band when they formed as Sabazios in , they became industrial. Their drummer quit and was replaced with a drum machine which in result laid the foundation of industrial black metal due to the mechanical sound when they played. Thus the first industrial black metal band was born. They soon changed the band name to Mysticum and decided to experiment further with the drum machine while incorporating psychedelic distorted riffs and voice samplings.
The industrial sound was simple but effective with their debut In the Streams of Inferno in They laid the ground work for future bands to follow. Primarily as an avant-garde black metal project, they begun to use samplings in their EP, Satanic Art.
Experimental but not quite industrial metal. This was the full changed that ditched most of their previous black metal efforts in favor for a more avant garde approach to industrial metal. Released in , Thorns took it a step further with their split Thorns vs Emperor. Released by Moonfog Productions, they gave Thorns to make their own full length album which was released in The self titled debut is a perfect example on how to execute industrial metal within black metal.
The cold mechanical atmosphere, the chaotic guitar riffs of black metal. It sounded like the LP was recorded in a steel mill from hell. This record highten the bar. Thorn - Shifting Channels from self-titled.
Both bands took a page from Godflesh and combined it with the aggressive sounds of death metal. Both bands were even going to release their debut the same year of Except with Fear Factory , they were unhappy with the record deal and shelved their proposed debut Concrete which was later released it in through Roadrunner Records. Soul of a New Machine was instead their debut which was released in This album contained half of the tracks from the suppose Concrete re-recorded.
Pitchishifter released their debut in titled Industrial. It had a hollow cold machine-like atmosphere, aggressive death metal guitars and distorted harsh vocals. To get notice, unfortunately the band slowly did away with their previous death metal sound with each passing release. It was until when the band found mainstream success with their 4th LP.
This was around the time nu metal became popular and thus the band shifted to a more nu metal appeal. Not to say Fear Factory had their brief nu metal period. Pitchishifter - Deconstruction from Submit. A subgenre of industrial metal. Note that a lot of industrialist do not count cyber metal as part of industrial metal due to the subgenre heavily borrowing IDM elements or other electronic based music blended in with guitars similar to melodic death metal riffs.
Cyber metal mainly uses more melodic and less repetitive riffs rather than mechanical-like sounds that of industrial metal. The music is often but not limited to including symphonic pieces arranged into the song structures.
However this mostly described the industrial metal acts of the 00's. Cyber metal in the 90's was more of a concept rather than a sound. The term cyber metal was first coined by the industrial metal group Fear Factory which was mostly based off their lyrical content.
Their lyrics often included references to sci-fi classic Terminator as well as Dune or Bladerunner. Their music influenced such bands as Strapping Young Lad , Static-X and Pain to name a few with their cyber punk themes. This is where the roots of cyber metal came from. In the early we saw a change in the industrial world. EBM groups begun using more IDM-like or techno based elements and the industrial club scene was shifting to more groups like Neotek , Assemblage 23 or Covenant for example.
A new cyber age of industrial was born. Industrial was also seeing a lot of these modern EBM groups sprouting up. The heavy metal world was doing the same with industrial metal. The industrial metal wasn't as popular going into the 00's and a lot of groups either went underground or disbanded while the new modern "industrial metal" bands emerged. These new industrial metal groups were often referred to as cyber metal by fans due to sound.
These bands were more melodic in style, used IDM and other heavy electronic elements. Most industrial fans argued they are too metal to be industrial while some metal fans said they are too electronic to be metal and most were stuck in this gray area. But this niche genre did find fans. Cyber metal was one of those odd ball genres that many times bordered on the fringes of industrial metal.
Some even had nothing to do with industrial at all and only borrowed electronic elements for added effect. Often times some of these bands wouldn't be considered industrial or vise versa because of their music structure. It went against everything that made industrial metal industrial. Like it or not, cyber metal is here to stay and is part of industrial metal history.
What is it? It's somewhat of another oddball of the industrial music world aside from cyber metal. Note that this subgenre is often shunned by industrialist while being embraced by metalheads.
It's essentially a crossover style of alternative metal and groove metal that combines elements of industrial and electronic music. More electronic rather than industrial most of the times. Depending on what band you listen to with this style can either divert away from industrial, move closer to it or remove it altogether. It is part of industrial music history nonetheless.
It wasn't until in when they released their debut self-titled album under Machinery Records which was an industrial sub-label from record company Noise Records. Their second album, Sperm in was a big departure from their first. It was a more guitar driven metal sound while keeping in touch with their EBM roots. This was the origins of the NDH sound but it changed with one particular band, Rammstein.
Blood - Vudu from Seppuku. The first of these bands to play with doom metal elements would be Godflesh. However not once have they been categorized as industrial doom metal, they sure do use enough doom metal to be influential to other acts to follow. One of the first of these bands to take the industrial doom metal tag was Canadian group Zaraza. Aside from Zaraza , P. When not making black metal, their industrial records are very doom-ish as you can often hear the influences from Godflesh mixed with post metal guitar riffs.
These are the frequently asked questions: Is Rammstein industrial metal? To a point, maybe. However they are the first to enforce the sound. Is Marilyn Manson industrial metal? Manson is mostly a straight up rock band. Marilyn Manson has only ever done 3 industrial metal releases. He does use some industrial music-like traces in other albums but it is too insignificant to warrant it as industrial metal.
Another question I am often ask, no, Marilyn Manson is not goth. Is Nine Inch Nails industrial metal? Listen to it again. It has some heavy songs but heaviest doesn't equal metal. Other genres can be heavy in their own way. Is White Zombie and Rob Zombie industrial metal? No and no. White Zombie only ever did one industrial metal record and that was Astro-Creep: Everything before it was either groove metal or noise rock. Rob Zombie was never industrial metal.
He may use some movie samplings here and there like most industrial groups at the time but that is it. Rob Zombie is more groove metal. Is Crematory industrial metal?
