Welcome to Gaia! ::

Industrial Metal doesn't exist, BSC also plays Rock not Metal, but I'm going to leave it in this subforum regardless.



Also, I don't really like them.

I don't have to look it up, its pretty much the music I listen to more than anything. That is, what is called Industrial Metal but isn't.

Industrial Metal doesn't exist, probably the closest band I've heard who actually comes close to Industrial Metal is P.H.O.B.O.S. but even they can't really be called Industrial Metal.

First you have to know what Industrial is, and what makes Metal, well, Metal. Fast paced drums, distorted guitars, and harsh vocals does not make something Metal. Its basically all about structure, theory, progressions, etc.
Same goes for Industrial. Just, because it has synthesizers and a catchy 4/4 beat doesn't mean its Industrial. Actually, it makes it very far from the truth. Industrial is, to put it simply, anti-music as that was what it was created as, so putting it with a form of music which heavily relies on catchy melodies and rhythms just doesn't work.


This is/was mostly covered in my Post-Industrial/EBM/Aggrotech thread in the Other Music section.

That doesn't mean its correct.

No not really. I'm sure I could find multiple sources saying tomatoes are veggie but they aren't. Just because something is written doesn't mean its true.

Ok then. Please explain to me both what makes and Industrial Metal band, Industrial Metal. And, how BSC is both Metal and Industrial Metal.

I typed out a big length reply to this, and then my computer restarted, I'm not typing it out again.

So heres the shorter version:


Anyways, those first two websites you linked to are both from the same thing so its really only one reference not two. Also, they are complete bullshit. lol @ 'sequencer line's. The persona who wrote that has no idea what a sequencer is nor do they know what Industrial or Metal is.

And I didn't ask for your sources, I asked for you to tell me what makes an Industrial Metal band an Industrial Metal band. You can quote things all day but that doesn't mean you actually understand them.

My references are all through my own listening experience, which I can show you.

Industrial:
Throbbing Gristle
in Slaughter Natives
Whitehouse

Metal:
Besatt
Running Wild
Grief


Now explain to me how when mixing those two genres together you get something like BSC or any other band commonly called Industrial Metal.

you can get who ever you want in here, I don't think it will matter. I know genres very well, which is part of while I'm vice-captain of this guild.

But really synthesizers and harsh vocals having nothing to do with Industrial music at all, in fact most Industrial artists barely use synths at all. Industrial is ant-music, so mixing it with music is not possible.

And Blood Stain Child plays Electronic influenced Nu-Metal. Nu-Metal, although it has Metal in the name is in fact Rock, its built with a Rock structure and pretty much everything else Rock aside from heavily distorted guitars, double bass drumming and harsh vocals.


But either way Industrial Metal doesn't exist, its a false term for Metal with synths, dance beats, and other EDM influences. EDM is my favorite genre, Metal used to be my favorite a few years ago, I know pretty well what makes something Metal and what makes something EDM and what makes something Industrial since Industrial and Post-Industrial is both the genres I'm most interested in listening and producing.


I've given you tons of reasons as to why Industrial Metal doesn't exist and the only thing you've given me is a silly link and the observation that it has synths in it, which proves nothing.

If you don't get it, I give up, you are helpless.
