NIN started becoming more pop once Downward Spiral came out. Pretty Hate Machine I feel sorta identified Industrial to begin with.
Industrial Metal for Rammstein sounds fairly appropriate, obviously some songs are more metal than others, but I'll leave that for someone else to debate.
The whole of Industrial is becoming more & more blurred as time goes on with bands like Mindless Self-Indulgence (which I think is better identified as electro-punk) & Wumpscut (whom I think is one of the better examples of Industrial today)
so yeah, Metal, let's go skullfuck some nuns & make rudimentary tools out of orphan jaws
When I want your opinion, I will diffuse it from you through osmosis!
So for the past month or so, I been on this GWAR kick, listening to the old stuff, new stuff, I have to say the newer stuff is badass, and they stick more to music then their songs that had more comedy in it.
Can't wait for a new album from the band (although I heard they did one earlier this year, I could be wrong though)

Nein.
Industrial is fucking old. Its been kicking around since the 70s in some form or another. All PHM did was grunge-up 80s synthpop.
Don't get me wrong - its a damned good album, but it has about as much to do with Industrial as my dick does. Broken and The Downward Spiral are closer, but again not all that close a relative.
Only at the tail end of the 70s (78-79, with a few bands that switched over from hard rock having formed a bit earlier) and at the time most of them weren't playing power metal. PM as a genre starts to pop up in the early 80s before splintering into three distinct subgenres.
Genre talk! Gotta love it.
Listening to some Winter's Verge right now.
Its what happens when metal nerds like myself open their metaphorical mouth.
I enjoy genre talk, especially when I have to slap random noobs in the face. I don't have too many pet peeves/annoyances and such but people that are ignorant about metal grind on me.
Running Wild makes me think of Fatal Fury.![]()
