Industrial Revolution
By T. Cole RachelAs electronic music continued to stretch out in weird new directions in the 80’s, artists uninterested in the upbeat vibe of acid house and the growing rave movement began to move in a darker, more metal-infused direction. Dubbed “industrial music” because of certain bands’ propensity for sampling the sounds of banging pipes and mimicking the roar of machinery, industrial bands married the electronic wizardry of dance music to aggressive guitars and gleeful nihilism.
