What makes a song “industrial?” It’s a question we’ve often pondered this past week at Consequence throughout our ongoing celebration of the genre. Harsh and liberal use of distortion; the implementation of electronics and synths alongside rock instrumentation; a generally subversive and bleak world outlook… all viable identifiers for what we would consider industrial music.
To go a step further: What makes an industrial song truly great? When compiling our ranking of the Top 50 industrial tracks of all-time, we not only looked for the aforementioned sonic descriptors, but also took into account exterior factors, namely the song’s influence and legacy in the grand scheme of the genre.
@ren Good times, in the 90’s I used to hang out at a goth / industrial bar in Toronto. And when I’m lucky the same DJ spinning the same stuff does Twitch every once and a while.
was that the one with the St Andrew’s cross in the middle? I did chin-ups on it one time and holy shit you never saw people stop dancing so fast.
amazing! yeah, in the early 90s we had a few industrial clubs down in Tampa, FL too.
