Industrial Music Bands and Artists List
Industrial music (also known as industrial) is a genre of music inspired by post-industrial society, initially drawing influences from avant-garde and electronic music genres such as musique concrète, tape music, sound collage and white noise. The term was originally coined in 1976 by Monte Cazazza and Throbbing Gristle, with the founding of Industrial Records. Other early industrial musicians included SPK, NON, Cabaret Voltaire, and Z'EV.
During the late 1980s, the industrial rock scene would emerge centered around Wax Trax! Records in Chicago, notable industrial rock acts included Front 242, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, and Sister Machine Gun. Subsequently, the scene would lead to the emergence of genre fusions and subgenres like electro-industrial, industrial metal, martial industrial, industrial hip-hop, industrial dance and industrial techno. By the 1990s, broader industrial music genres were made accessible to mainstream audiences through the popularity of acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Rammstein, and Marilyn Manson, all of whom released platinum-selling records.
