ohGr - Welt

Some of you may be familiar with the name ohGr. It's actually Nivek Ogre from the band Skinny Puppy. In his solo project, he creates sublime electronic music that isn't necessarily industrial. The music is generally upbeat and even danceable at times, and the lyrics aren't really that distorted. The singles, Cracker and Pore, seem to stand out as the best songs on the album, but to be honest, there isn't really any down time here. If you're looking for very well done electro-industrial, look no further. ohGr is here.

Slaves On Dope - Inches From The Mainline

Slaves On Dope is kind of hard to classify, but none the less very good. I guess Nu Metal would be the proper classification. The music is hard and energetic. The vocals are often either pure speaking or pure screaming. The lyrics aren't the deepest around, but that's fine. Vulgar and offensive, lyrics like "fuck you, fucker" and songs like "Bitch Slap" show what this band is about. Don't expect to listen to SOD and get your regular hard rock. Expect angsty screaming and thrashing. That's not to say that this group isn't good. In fact, I like them a lot. Anyway, enjoy.

Front Line Assembly - Civilization

This is the first Front Line Assembly I've ever had, and is one of the best. Here, we can here Bill Leeb's over 20 years of experience come together and create a masterpiece. The first two tracks, Psychosomatic and Maniacal, are classic dancefloor stompers in the classic FLA style. The rest, however, show a deeper, more involved approach. The songs are more, well, ambient (lacking a better word). Tracks such as the title track and Transmitter are amazingly well put together songs that aim for someone other than the average industrial dance club attendee. They are masterful works of art (yeah I know I'm sucking a lot of dick here). That' s all I can say it is. Definitely an album for your industrial or electronica listener.

Mindless Self Indulgence - Straight To Video: The Remixes

If you liked the You'll Rebel To Anything album, I have a little treat for you. Here you can get the remixes of the song Straight To Video, done by such prominent industrial artists as Front Line Assembly, Assemblage 23, The Birthday Massacre, and Velvet Acid Christ. 15 versions of STV are here, as well as 2 additional ones, the instrumental version as well as a vocal only. A nice addition to any Mindless Self Indulgence fan.

:Wumpscut: - Embryodead

Embryodead is perhaps the pinnacle of :Wumpscut:'s career, or at least it is in my opinion. On this disc we see Rudy Ratzinger's masterful industrial prowess, from the dancefloor stompers such as War (my personal favorite :W: song, ever) and the title track, and we see (or should I say hear) his ability to make slower songs as well, as seen from Stillborn and Angel. If you are a fan of :W: but are missing this album, shame on you! Embryodead is an amazing work of industrial, and a must have for any self-proclaimed industrial maniac.

Mindless Self Indulgence - You'll Rebel To Anything

You'll Rebel To Anything was my first Mindless Self Indulgence album, and has remained in heavy rotation for me, along with almost any other MSI album. It's truly great stuff. Though classified as 'Shock Rock', I really don't find them very shocking (if you want shocking, check out Alien Vampires. With songs like 'I Fuck Nuns' and 'Fuck You We're Dead', they're a bit more in the shocking field. If you can understand what they say), but I still really like their sound. Very lighthearted in their lyrical content (under educated/over caffeinated/I just masturbated), one doesn't have to worry about them being to serious. The music itself is like a combination of hard rock with punk influences combined with dancey synthesizer sounds, creating one of the most fun listens I've ever had. Highlights include 'Straight To Video' and 'Stupid MF', but all the songs here are really really good.

[Distatix] - Medication

[Distatix] is something that is not for the weak-hearted. This is industrial dance music in the most pure of forms. Driving beats, soaring synths, and harsh vocals make up an extremely hardcore experience. It's kind of like a swarm of angry-ass robots coming to fuck you up through your earphones. Songs like Medication, which is nothing more than a list of drugs to a dance beat, to Disappear, a sad but no less hardcore song. Don't download unless you really want music to fight and drive to, because [D] is perfect for that. You won't regret this, for sure.

Funker Vogt - Navigator

Let me first say that if you don't have Navigator, you aren't a true fan of dance industrial. This album features some of Funker Vogt's best songs, including Stronghold, No Tomorrow (for you, Shadz), and House of Sorrows. The music here is high octane dance music, for sure. The synths are lined up perfectly with the driving base. The vocals are surprisingly not very distorted, unlike some of their previous works, i.e. Thanks For Nothing, but it sounds better with the music anyway, so don't be disappointed. The album wraps up with two all-German songs, Fur Dich and Vorwarts. Fur Dich is a very gentle, melodic song, whereas Vorwarts seems to be the most intense song on the album. Seriously, download this. You'll be dancing all night.

Skinny Puppy - Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse

Many people consider Too Dark Park to be Skinny Puppy's top achievement. I, however, disagree. Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse puts forth plenty of dark, grinding bass and disturbing synths, in a fashion that is like no other. The music here is just very dark, and has an experimental feel to it. Don't expect some super synthesized dance music, not from Mind. Instead, expect extremely dark music with the ambient screams of Ohgr. This is also a landmark album in the historical sense, as well. This was the first album in which Ohgr did vocals, which had been done previously by Bill Leeb. Sound familiar? Leeb is the lead man for Front Line Assembly. Any band that has been associated directly to FLA can't be bad, right? Well, give it a shot.
