| 18 | Anyway, assuming you're up-to-date on this... After Music/SkinnyPuppy brought {{industrial}} music a slight amount of recognition in not-underground-but-not-mainstream-either circles, a man named Al Jourgenson took note. He was a member of the SynthPop band Music/{{Ministry}}, and he was incredibly bored and contemptuous of the music his band was making. So, at some point, he rediscovered his old passion, the electric guitar, and decided to combine metal with this "industrial music" he'd heard so much about. And so, Ministry drastically changed their style from SynthPop to... industrial metal. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Ministry weren't the only ones who kickstarted the industrial metal genre, however. The German band Music/{{KMFDM}} were one other early pioneer (albeit less influential than Ministry), as was the British Music/{{Godflesh}} (who, while not as successful as Ministry, had a larger impact on the genre than KMFDM did). The genre really kicked off, however, when one man took note of all this and decided to get involved. This man was named Trent Reznor, and, having left his previous band, he decided to form a solo project. This solo project was called "Music/NineInchNails", and had a similar musical style to Ministry except with more angsty lyrics, production wizardry, and, at first, slightly less metal content (but only on ''Pretty Hate Machine''; TheNineties brought massive guitar assaults). Nine Inch Nails was the band that brought industrial music into the mainstream with their/his album, ''The Downward Spiral'', in 1994 (the album with that "I-wanna-fuck-you-like-an-animal" song [[RefrainFromAssuming which is known as "Closer" to some people]]). Ministry also got a lot more recognition with their album, ''Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs'', in 1992. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | And so, industrial became massively popular. One band, Music/MarilynManson and the Spooky Kids, opened for Nine Inch Nails and, thanks to Trent Reznor's mentorship (if that's a word), dropped the "and the Spooky Kids" bit and basically stuck with the name of its frontman. Thanks to that, people confuse the band with the guy. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Industrial music, particularly Marilyn Manson, got more focus in the mainstream thanks to the controversy caused by the Columbine killings. The news spread rumours that the two teens responsible for the massacre were "convinced" to do it by Marilyn Manson's music. This idea kept spreading even after it transpired that the two teens listened not to Manson but to KMFDM and Music/{{Rammstein}}, neither of whom were picked on as much. And, given that KMFDM and Rammstein [[AllGermansAreNazis are German]], you can guess [[MusicToInvadePolandTo what the next allegation that the press threw at these bands happened to be]]. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | In recent times, industrial seems to have fallen out of favour. Nine Inch Nails is/are moving in entirely different directions, Manson recently got implicated for domestic abuse, Ministry broke up for a few years, so on and so forth. Only Rammstein seem to be that popular anymore. Newer bands seem to be moving towards the upgraded version of Electronic Body Music: Aggro EBM / Hellectro, unless they go in a [[FollowTheLeader similar direction as Rammstein]] ([[OlderThanTheyThink though it was actually Oomph! that created Rammstein's style]]) into the SubGenre of ''Neue Deutsche Härte'' ("New German Loudness")[[note]]named as a ShoutOut to the genre that in the late Seventies spawned the seminal Industrial group [[Music/EinsturzendeNeubauten Einstürzende Neubauten]], ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Deutsche_Welle Neue Deutsche Welle]]''[[/note]] with bands such as Eisbrecher, Megaherz and ASP leading the way. This genre also seems to be the go-to genre for GothicMetal and BlackMetal acts to change to when they undergo a GenreShift, like Music/TheatreOfTragedy, Music/TheKovenant and to an extent Music/CradleOfFilth eventually did. Other bands, mostly falling under the {{metalcore}} banner - most prominently Music/BringMeTheHorizon, Crossfaith, Music/CodeOrange, and Music/MotionlessInWhite - have dabbled with the genre in some form. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Oh, the music, right. Well, industrial metal is a fusion of industrial music and metal. It's characterised by frequent use of samples, synthesizers and keyboards, and repetitive guitar riffs. Vocals are often distorted, and drum machines are sometimes used. There are two main styles of industrial metal: one with a greater emphasis on ''industrial'' with slightly less guitars and a more prominent use of keyboards, synths and drum machines -- a good example being Nine Inch Nails; and one with a greater emphasis on ''metal'', which is far-and-away the most common type of this genre -- with good examples being Fear Factory and Godflesh. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Often used interchangeably with the term "Industrial Rock", which is, for the most part, just less abrasive Industrial Metal. |

| 161 | |
| 162 | !!The Industrial Metal genre contains the following tropes: |
| 163 | |
| 164 | %%* AlternativeMetal: There's a lot of overlap between the two genres. |
| 165 | %%* ConceptAlbum: Not at all uncommon, surprisingly. Music/NineInchNails, Music/MarilynManson and Fear Factory have all done more than one album of this type. |
| 166 | * HarshVocals: Not universal, but pretty common in the genre, and done a variety of different ways- from DeathMetal style growling to straight-up CarefulWithThatAxe to electronically distorted weirdness. |
| 167 | * MusicToInvadePolandTo: Another (false) accusation thrown at certain bands due to the band in question either being [[AllGermansAreNazis German]] or using totalitarian imagery in a subversive way. Or both, in the case of Music/{{KMFDM}}. |
| 168 | * NuMetal: Some bands, like Dope, Orgy, Static-X and Powerman 5000, combine these two genres to some degree. Not surprising, since many NuMetal bands were influenced by IndustrialMetal to begin with. |
| 169 | %%* {{Sampling}}: Very common, and, like in {{Industrial}} Music, more likely to be movies or found sounds than other songs, though the latter has been known to happen from time to time. |
| 170 | %%* SubduedSection: Popularized in this genre by Music/NineInchNails, but common for many other bands in the genre as well. |
| 171 | * TheNewRockAndRoll: A number of bands in the genre got accused by MoralGuardians of being responsible for school shootings, suicides and the like, with Music/MarilynManson being the biggest target of them all. |
| 172 | * ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: Some bands favor simple riffs and rhythms. Also, solos are rarer than in most other subgenres of HeavyMetal, though not completely unheard of. However, the often dense production makes for an odd variation of this trope, and some bands (Music/NineInchNails, for example) make use of numerous tempo and time changes. |
| 173 | * TropeCodifier: Music/NineInchNails and Music/MarilynManson codified much of the genre's usual sounds, respectively on ''Music/TheDownwardSpiral'' and ''Music/AntichristSuperstar''. Music/FearFactory could also be considered one to a lesser extent with their mixture of industrial metal with heavier forms of metal in ''Demanufacture'', which was released nearly at the same time along with the aforementioned two albums. |
| 174 | * TropeMaker: Music/{{Ministry}} and Music/{{Godflesh}} were the first two bands to have played the genre, respectively on ''The Land of Rape And Honey'' and ''Streetcleaner'' which were both released between 1988 and 1989. |
