Industrial Electronic 1/23

Industrial electronic music is a genre of electronic music that originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by its use of harsh, abrasive sounds and heavy use of electronic instrumentation. Industrial music often features distorted vocals, sampled sounds, and unconventional musical structures.


The genre's origins can be traced back to experimental music projects of the late 1970s, such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, who used electronic music as a means of exploring themes of social and political critique. As the genre evolved, it branched out into various subgenres, including industrial rock, dark ambient, and power electronics.


Some notable industrial electronic musicians and bands include Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, and Einstürzende Neubauten.
