After spending around 10 years trying to find out what kind of music I really like, I realized that industrial related music most often interest me. But still I don't know THAT MANY bands actually involved in this genre. So here's my adventure in industrial world.
Now we are jumping more noisier side of industrial. Even though combining lots of different sound Zak Roberts from Denver, Colorado concentrates anyway more on the extreme side of electronic music. Even going all the way to pure noise and ambient. But there is nice melodies also attached at least partly and also mixing some world music type of elements to the sound makes it more interesting. In some songs I can even hear similarities to Serj Tankian's Serart project. These songs start to get really hypnotic after few minutes. That can't be bad, it's how this kind of music should work. So I have to admit that Cdatakill delivers what it has promised.
Roberts has made made music since mid-90s, but if I've understood correctly Cdatakill was born around Millenium. At least first Black & Red EP is said to be released in 2001. After that Cdatakill has released quite a lot of stuff. Of course many of those are 7"s and 12"s, but he has also released some CD albums lately via Ad Noiseam.
Here's one sample from 2006 released Valentine album.
Now I have to say that I hit the first jackpot - this is why I started this project. Bong-ra, haling from Netherlands, is a breakcore group (have to say I've no idea what breakcore means, but I seem to like it) founded 1996 and they've released lots of 7"'s, 12"'s and EPs, but I have to say I've no idea how they discography should be read - at least some albums seem to be collections of those "smaller" records.
Well, who cares about the actual releases. At least from Spotify you can find quite many tracks and when I first tested the first track of their Spotify list I was sold. Their combination of techno, industrial, rap, alternative, metal, jazz, younamethenexttengenres is so catchy that you can't resist. You just have to dive in there and feel the noise.
Their style is described also as raggacore and some tracks sounds just like Skindred (which is one of the better bands I know). But overall this band is just taking too many right pills when they start "jamming". And they're definately having real sense of irony. Here's that "first track" I tested also - 666mph.
I'm a music enthusiast from Finland. Have been running a music web magazine Noise.fi around ten years. As described in that "header" text also, just trying to find out more what kind of music I really like. I've come to conclusion that industrial-kinda music is my thing, but don't know the genre enough well. So now trying to find more and more bands which I can test. And here's my results, just my opinions (sometimes even really fast verdicts).
I'll try many different styles of industrial related bands. Goth, metal, electro, pop, ebm, ambient, rock and even hip hop (I think hip hop is not that far from this industrial anyway, listen to Dälek if you disagree). So anything will go if it's even remotely attached to industrial.
Please recommend new bands if you don't see your favourite on the list yet.
