| Between industrial and IDM
"Melodic industrial" sounds like a perverted genre abomination so here are just a few favorites from around-industrial areas with some melody in them. All hail Tympanik and ant-zen! | | 1 |  | Sonic Area
Music For Ghosts
Swirling, theatrical, textured street-organ of rhythms and noises.
Highlights: The living carousel, The infernal clockwork
[album name fixed, thanks] | | 2 |  | Stendeck
Scintilla
Thick, glitch-dense IDM for long night rides.
Highlights: Catch the midnight girl, Run amok (against time rebels) | | 3 |  | Bad Sector
Polonoid
Less rhythmic and more abstract, densely layered and very emotional abrasive ambient.
Highlights: Open universes, Density matrix | | 4 |  | Diaphane
Lifeforms
Intense glitchy IDM with great buildups.
Highlights: L'Eau Vive, Fracture | | 5 |  | Iszoloscope
All is immensity and chaos
Harsh techno-based beats blending into rhythm'n'noise with elements of dark ambience, soaring up and breaking down.
Highlights: Stretched into the Thereafter | | 6 |  | Blast radius
Define, Redefine
A bit old-school when in comes to sound, but the darker melodies wrapped in layers of soft high-frequency noises make it a personal favorite.
Highlights: Beautifully Misguided, Why Are We | | 7 |  | Tineidae
Shadows
Vast space IDM, transmissions from distant satellites with outstanding production.
Highlight: Damaged datastream | | 8 |  | Access to Arasaka
Orbitus
Bad Sector with a rhythm to it, similar in sound but with a different turn.
Highlight: Cynosure | | 9 |  | Comaduster
Hollow Worlds
Very tense IDM bordering dubstep with good vocals.
Highlights: Wintry eyes, Futureproof design | | 10 |  | Gridlock
Formless
How could we approach melodic industrial without mentioning Gridlock's classic?
Highlight: Pallid | |
