| Top 5 Industrial Albums
Industrial music is like a massive headtrip. A hallucination to the mind and body. An out-of-this-world experiment. A beautiful drug.
Pulsing beats and rhythms, bleeping and ear-piercing noise structures and atmospherics, sampling, experimentations, art performance and power. | | 1 |  | Skinny Puppy
Too Dark Park
The Industrial album of our time? You bet your sweet ass it is!
Pulsing rhythms and electronics, snarling vocals by Nivek Ogre and kick ass movie sampling. There is also some guitar featured in this album (T.F.W.O.) that is similar to the ones in the previous album "Rabies". One of the most important Industrial albums ever, with Human Breeding by Dissecting Table taking sides as well.
Check out "Convulsion", "Spasmolytic", "T.F.W.O." and "Morpheus Laughing". | | 2 |  | Dissecting Table
Human Breeding
Definitely a big mark for Dissecting Table (aka Ichiro Tsuji). Human Breeding is an amazing concept of noise and rhythm. Dark, psychedelic atmosphere and orchestral melodies, concrete-driven noise, extremely heavy electronics and distortion and some of the scariest and most brutal screaming vocals.
"Least Mean Square Algorithm For Personality Alteration" is a song that would easily be most common for technical death metal music, while "Behind The Ethereal Thorns" consist of typical Dissecting Table's dark ambience, psychedelic electronics and noise and pounding metal-percussion rhythms, not to mention Ichiro's distorted screaming. | | 3 |  | G.G.F.H.
Disease
G.G.F.H.'s finest hour.
Disease is a nice dark Techno/Industrial albums with heavy, psychedelic electronics and dark, nasty vocals provided by DJ Ghost.
Check out "Dead Men Don't Rape (Revenge Mix)". | | 4 |  | Front Line Assembly
Hard Wired
After the guitar-driven Millennium, Hard Wired sees FLA returning to their basic electro-dance rhythms that they're well known for, but with the return of some of the guitars from the previous album, but without dominating so much of their sound.
"Neologic Spasm" is a song that will have you on the dance floor and, at the same time, send chills down your spine while songs like "Circuitry" will have your feet stomping all the way. | | 5 |  | Velvet Acid Christ
Calling Ov The Dead
Velvet Acid Christ's Calling Ov The Dead is a dark, trippy and very catchy album. Dark vocals mixed with nasty electronics, pulse-driven dance rhythms and a big load of movie samples (notably Se7en). Songs like Phucking Phreak, Bsat2 and Pray For Life will have your feet stomping and body moving. | |
Curse.
04.10.09 | No Ministry automatically makes this list useless | Willie
04.10.09 | Thinking that Ministry should be on any definitive top 5 for industrial makes you ignorant of the genre. | Curse.
04.10.09 | Not if I really like Ministry. | Spamue1G
04.10.09 | 1's amazing. I'm absolutely on the verge of giving it a 5, but I don't think I like it quite that much... yet. It could grow on me easily though. Haven't heard any of the rest of them but I'm always on the lookout for industrial, so I'll probably listen to most of them soon. | AbsolutDunkelheit666
04.10.09 | It is a brilliant album indeed. The songs have more variety here than the ones in Rabies or The Process. Hell, maybe even ViViSectVI (though that's a brilliant album too).
Definitely check out the others while you can, Spamue1G. I would definitely recommend some Dissecting Table, including Front Line Assembly ad G.G.F.H. :) | bloc
04.10.09 | good choices | AbsolutDunkelheit666
04.10.09 | Agreed. :) | Blindsided
04.10.09 | No NIN makes this list pointless. | shindip
04.10.09 | Have not heard these yet, but shouldnt there be some NIN here? | Willie
04.10.09 | Nine Inch Nails? It depends. Is this just a list of the top 5 most famous bands that have ever had the "industrial" tag slapped on them or is this trying to be the top 5 actual worthwhile industrial albums... if it's the second thing than no NIN is not a problem. | Curse.
04.10.09 | I feel like NIN did a lot for better industrial bands just by bringing "industrial" to the mainstream. | Curse.
04.10.09 | Does it make the worthy of being on the list, however? No | Chewie
04.10.09 | except The Downward Spiral beats out all of these albums without question | Curse.
04.10.09 | Except for the part where it doesn't touch ANY of these albums | Chewie
04.10.09 | blasphemy! | rotterdog
04.10.09 | Both the Downward Spiral and the Fragile albums beat out anything on this list. Though I haven't heard Velvet Acid Christ. I'll check that one out. | shindip
04.10.09 | Yeah, downwards spiral and the fragile are pretty dope | shindip
04.10.09 | and 5 isnt that good | Willie
04.10.09 | It doesn't matter how good you think those NIN albums are because they're barely industrial. They're no more industrial than Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater or Gravity Kills. The five listed here are pretty pure industrial albums, without nearly as much outside influence. | Chewie
04.10.09 | well Pretty Hate Machine is NIN's only real industrial album, the rest blend several styles. There is still a feel of industrial that resonates in the sound, but i suppose it isn't enough to classify them as industrial like these albums | Willie
04.10.09 | Yeah, I can agree with people that might want to throw NIN's debut on a list like this but their later one's just aren't the same style as these. |
