Understanding the Genre Known as Industrial

Posted by admin on Nov 20, 2012 under Uncategorized

If you get your television through any of the myriad satellite tv providers, you might have seen a listing for music channels. They don’t really have flashy names – in fact, most of the names of the channels are just named after the genres they feature. You might have even come across a channel called “industrial.”

What comes to mind when you think of the industrial music genre?

Power tools? Metallic sounds?

While perhaps not being quite as literal as the genre would suggest, industrial is no less stark and imposing. The idea behind industrial is to use technology to create a very real sound that both tears apart any preconceived notions about society and crafts a truly stark and uncompromising perception.

It is music created for a new generation by a new generation and the name behind it is less about building bridges and more about building a revolution. A revolution of thought, a revolution against convention and a revolution to free music – one of the most sincerest forms of self-expression – from the rigors of commercialization and strong-arm marketing.

The industrial music genre, for lack of a better description, is real. It’s visceral and it’s passionate about the human experience – an experience we all share whether we are willing to admit it or not.
