I saw a few posts talking about how redundant and uninteresting this genre is, but I think a lot of that has to do with what most metal fans are aware of. They're aware of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and Godflesh. The first two are hardly even industrial anymore and Godflesh is highly redundant. 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...
