Industrial/Digital Hardcore

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music from rap to pop punk to thrash metal, but one of my all time favorite genres is digital hardcore.

One of the great artists of insustrial and digital hardcore is JP Anderson. He was known in "The Shizit" and "Rabbit Junk" (see these songs here, The Shizit is much heavier than Rabbit Junk)

The Shizit



One of my favorite songs by Rabbit Junk:



Another artist who's more industrial than digital hardcore is Celldweller. This guy is a magician with music. Although not as metal or slamming as The Shizit or RJ, Celldweller makes no bad music.



Blue Stahli deserves a mention in the electronic/industrial discussion. Great singer, excellent writer, one man band similar to Celldweller:



And last but not least, Celldweller meets Blue Stahli as Blue remixes one of his most popular songs, "Frozen".




Feel free to add your suggestions. I'm always looking for more stuff like these artists. Ready, set, GO!

Thanks guys!
God Module was an awesome listen, still going down the list. And I can't get enough of Sickest Squad.
I used to listen to a lot of Grendel back in the late 2000s/early 2010s. I remember when Hate This was all the rage.

I pretty much like anything angry and electronic.

Oh, while we're here, here's another favorite of mine. Hanzel Und Gretyl's album "Transmissions From Uranus"
Pleiadian Agenda is an all time banger. Not industrial or digital hardcore, but it fits the almost-industrial metal mold and is worth mentioning. It's almost psy-industrial.

Reminds me of the Digital Hardcore Recordings days of the late 90's. Atari Teenage Riot and everyone under that umbrella. Breakcore was my favorite. It was mostly German artists and that # went hard during the raver days when everyone was into trance and glowsticks.

I used to do a DJ set with CD turntables that had burnt discs with breakcore mp3s. I was like 19 and nobody liked it. I ended up getting really into drum n bass.

🤣

And don’t forget or discount freakin’ Ministry!
I’ve spent time in the studio with Alain, back in the WaxTrax days.
Seriously, he’s no joke!

Jesus Built my Hotrod.

I forgot about ATR, they were very solid!

Not sure if this fits in, but Igorrr are pretty .. weird. lol.. their other stuff combines a sort of oprah and hardcore metal.. I wouldn't know how to explain it.. but it's different.

VERY NOISE

I saw Hanzel Und Gretyl and Ministry live when they were touring together way back when. That was a fun show. Some guy got his teeth smashed in.

Ministry rocks.

Have any of you heard of Gravity Kills?

Also great suggestions guys, I've got a lot of listening to do today. Thank you.

a reply to: trollz

Man, I love me some Eisbrecher. Hands down one of my fav industrial bands.

Also Ministry.

I'm going to check out some of the other ones linked. Thanks!

Here's a German band I discovered years ago.





They aren't really hardcore, but Industrial anyway.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Front Line Assembly.



KMFDM is awesome, as is Ministry, but the latter is not really hardcore.

Cool live shows, though.

Ministry is not hardcore?

Psalm 69:

Hard as hell, imo.

a reply to: Oaktree

No, Psalm 69 is not hardcore. Quite the opposite. But a good song.

a reply to: Liquesence
The album?
I’m trying to figure out if you’re goofing me or serious?
Have you heard it?
I’m baffled.

I listed 2 songs above, not hardcore?

No one mentioned MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE yet, so if you haven't heard them, give 'em a shot.

a reply to: Oaktree

Yeah, the album. And I am very familiar with it.

Don't get me wrong, that album is hard as #, but it's not exactly hardcore. It's more industrial/metal/thrash than hardcore.

a reply to: Absinth3

Ahh, electropunk!
Also Retard-O-Bot and Peter Pepper. Not quite hardcore or industrial but it doesn't matter, I like them.

Ministry is definitely in the metal family. Industrial/metal I guess. They definitely count as a form of industrial if we're judging based on the mechanical-ness of a particular band's sound.
