A few people have heard KMFDM (probably due to "A Drug Against War"), but they're very inconsistent. There are good bands out there that manage to avoid redundancy. Acumen Nation, 16 Volt, old-Clay People, Cyanotic, Argyle Park, Skinny Puppy...
A big yes to Acumen Nation and Skinny Puppy. Cyanotic is decent, whats
"16 volt" like? I agree on that this genre is misunderstood by a lot of metal fans and because of that they are not willing to give any industrial a shot. Thats a loss since like you said, there is a sufficient amount of good industrial out there that needs to be noticed.
