Well, idk about "real" industrial as such (I think Alex is being a little over the top) but a lot of the first wave bands grew out of performance art collectives and were musically about dissonant tape loops, custom percussion, samples, analogue drum machines etc. Sort of a fusion of electronic, noise, post-punk and ambient influences.
Check out Throbbing Gristle's
The Second Annual Report, Cabaret Voltaire's
Mix-Up, SPK's
Information Overload Unit, Thomas Leer & Robert Rental's
The Bridge, Boyd Rice's
The Black Album, The Worst Of Monte Cazazza and Maurizio Bianchi's
Mectpyo Blut. Should get you grounded in the early stuff, idk quite how much you'll like it but should be a worthwhile history lesson in any case
