Industrial music and the avant-garde have always had a tightly-wound relationship. The first industrial acts were essentially experimental acts like Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, and today’s highlight, Coil, that all eschewed the traditional electronic music of the time (the growing idea of new wave music) in favor of something dark and mechanical.

Nine Inch Nails—either to the dismay of “hardcore” industrial fans or the delight of fans who’ve followed the band—is a household name for metalheads everywhere.

New music video and album details from the post-Nine Inch Nails project.
The new How To Destroy Angels EP An Omen, if you haven’t heard it, is spectacular. The Nine Inch Nails spinoff of sorts captures a moody atmosphere with as much depth as there is restraint. The EP not only builds on the expected and established sound, but makes some expansion…
Both of my most anticipated upcoming releases are due out next week, and coincidentally enough, they’re both perfect for those looking for something more laid back and atmospheric. Deftones’ new full-length album Koi No Yokan and How To Destroy Angels’ An Omen EP are now available for streaming across the…
Trent Reznor is a busy guy. He is constantly adding new business ventures onto his repertoire, as well as keeping up with multiple music projects, from his side project with his wife, How to Destroy Angels, and his increasing work on movie scores, and that’s not even mentioning the fact…
