IT'S INDUSTRAIL MUSIC TIME!
Electro-industrial is a music genre drawing on EBM and post-industrial that developed in the mid-1980s. While EBM has a minimal structure and clean production, Electro-industrial has a deep, complex and layered sound. The style was pioneered by Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and other groups, either from Canada or the Benelux. In the early 1990s, the style spawned the Dark electro genre, and in the mid-/late-1990s, the Hellectro/Aggrotech offshoot. The fan base for the style is linked to the Rivethead subculture.
After the EBM movement faded in the early 1990s, Electro-industrial increasingly attained popularity in the international club scene. In contrast to the straight EBM style, Electro-industrial groups use harsher beats and raspy, distorted, or digitized vocals.
Dark electro
Dark electro is a similar style, developed in the early 1990s in central Europe. The term describes groups such as yelworC and Placebo Effect, and was first used in December 1992 with the album announcement of Brainstorming, yelworC's debut. The style was inspired by the Electro-industrial of The Klinik and Skinny Puppy. Compositions included horror soundscapes, and grunts or distorted vocals. yelworC were a music group from Munich, formed in 1988. They laid the foundations of the Dark electro movement in the early 1990s, and were the first artist on the German label Celtic Circle Productions. In subsequent years, Dark electro was displaced by techno-influenced styles such as Aggrotech and Futurepop.
Aggrotech
Aggrotech (also known as Hellectro) is a derivative form of Electro-industrial with a strong influence from the hardstyle/hardtrance music (straight Techno bassdrum and 3xOsc sounds, especially SuperSaw leads from Roland JP-8000) that first surfaced in the mid-/late-1990s. Aggrotech regularly consists of harsh song structures, aggressive beats, and explicit, pessimistic, militant lyrics. Typically the vocals are distorted and pitch-shifted to sound harsh, and synthetic.
