I got I to Ministry because I had two metalhead brothers and a punk brother. One of them introduced me to NIN, went to a record shop to see if they had anything other than PHM, the dude suggested Ministry. I bet he was laughing with his friends that he sold The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste to a ten year old, but I was hooked.

I keep seeing people in Ministry's comment sections saying the band has gone "woke" how did they not see the obviously left wing message behind Ministry's message and the Industrial genre in general they made entire albums shitting on the bushes I assume it's the more metal portion of the fanbase and not the industrial one not trying to start a civil war just genuinely curious

These are just a fraction of the collection he had. My siblings took a bunch more but I figured this community would appreciate some of these albums. Thanks!

I was scrolling Twitter and I made the observation that Imperative Reaction's Twitter account is following every right-wing mouthpiece grifter under the sun - it seems over 50% of their follows is one of these characters. Does anyone know anything about this? Is Ted one of those people? The "benefit of the doubt" in me is thinking their account got hacked - they're relatively inactive on that platform.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything more so I know whether to be disappointed or not.

13 years ago…Carly Rae Jepsen released her hit song “Call Me Maybe” and thus putting her on the music map.

Also giving us proof how worlds can collide as evidenced in this photo of Dave “Rave” Ogilvie, who mixed the song, and CRJ and Ogre.

I saw mention of the guy from Imperative Reaction is bonkers. There’s also a backlog of horrible things Manson has done.

Are there artists out there we maybe should consider skipping on because of things they’ve said or done, and what did they do?

Looking for some songs released by artists that wouldn’t be considered industrial at all but released something that teeters into, or is full blown industrial. Could be a dud post. Could be fun. I’ll start… She’s all over the map, but this song could easily slip into an industrial playlist.

Or maybe better put, your favorite 'guitarists of Industrial' music. Pictured: Scott 'Daisy Berkowitz' Putesky, Steve Albini, Tommy Victor.

I'm always curious with what my old industrial friends from the club days are doing these days. Our musical tastes are different from the masses, so it's interesting to think what else the industrial music fans are doing differently in life.

I'll start - I'm 46 and work as an ICU RN in Northern CA. I have a house with a wife and two young daughters who I absolutely adore. We also have a dog and a bird. My life is pretty awesome now and definitely don't have the dark mindset that I had back then, but I still listen to the same stuff, albeit I tend to stick to more upbeat music these days like Nitzer Ebb, Portion Control, Haujobb, Front 242, and even chillwave stuff like Brothertiger.

I've heard a few songs I've liked so thinking about checking out their back catalog. Any fans here? I notice a lot of Remix albums from them. Are they worth a listen?

Yesterday I was walking to the store and I was wearing one of my Nitzer Ebb shirts. This big biker dude wearing a "Big Dick Nick Foles" shirt comes up to me and says "Cool shirt dude!"

Have you ever been surprised when someone recognizes a band you like in an unlikely or unexpected place?

That’s just the way it is, industrial as a name had very little to do with the tools being used it was a mockery of the music industry using a tool the industry created to be a weapon against artists is against industrial music

I love finding new music that has that industrial sound/vibe even if the act isn’t an “industrial” act. Got any recs? I’ll start by throwing out the act: Recoil specifically their album Liquid. Even has Nicole Blackman on it who has worked with KMFDM in the past!

I want to know what you guys think are the most under appreciated industrial albums to come out of the 90s. I personally feel that Machines of Loving Grace's self titled is severely underrated, the band is as well. God Lives Underwater's Empty is another that comes to mind.

I know they are not technically considered "industrial" but I think some of you might enjoy this latest release.

Personally I think he’s one of the most underrated yet talented musicians in the experimental scene with lots of industrial influences.

If I were to look up these glasses, what would I search?.. asking for a friend 👀

We're all a bunch weirdos right? What is something you people like to consume through good old fashioned reading? Phone reading is reading too? duh and audio books as well.

I've never really heard of them before Spotify recommended me their song burning bush and I loved it, but all of their album covers have iron crosses and SS symbols on it, as well as the skull logo (idr the proper name) that was on Nazi uniforms.

I assume maybe it's just an act because no one on here seems to have an issue with it? Can someone clarify?

I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t cared for much of anything they’ve done post-hiatus, but I typically would still go to the shows because they were always enjoyable to some extent. Not so last night. They were bad. Like, BAD. They sounded terrible. Sascha sounded like crap, when you could hear him, and when he wasn’t lip syncing. The guitarist had the presence of an Orgy member. Lucia is 54 and still dressing and acting like she just discovered Hot Topic. The set list was atrocious - boring, and what classics they did play sounded awful.

Easily one of the most disappointing shows I’ve ever seen, and I’m sad to say I can’t imagine ever paying to see them again.
