Electro-industrial

While EBM (electronic body music) has a minimal structure and clean production, electro-industrial tends to have a grittier, complex and layered sound with a more experimental[1] approach.

[4] Electro-industrial was anticipated by 1980s groups such as SPK,[2][5] Die Form, Borghesia, Klinik, Skinny Puppy,[6][7] Numb,[4] and Front Line Assembly.

[7][8] Prominent electro-industrial groups of the 1990s include Mentallo and the Fixer, Nine Inch Nails, Yeht Mae, Velvet Acid Christ, and Pulse Legion (U.S.);[9] Numb and Decoded Feedback[10] (Canada); X Marks the Pedwalk, Plastic Noise Experience, Wumpscut,[11][12][13] Haujobb,[14] Forma Tadre, KMFDM, Putrefy Factor 7, and Abortive Gasp[15] (Germany); Leæther Strip[16] (Denmark);[17] and early Hocico, Cenobita, and Amduscia (Mexico).

[2] Other groups to practice the style included amGod, Trial, early Evil's Toy, Mortal Constraint, Arcana Obscura, Splatter Squall, Seven Trees, Tri-State, and Ice Ages.

Aggrotech musicians include Agonoize, Amduscia, Bestias De Asalto, Combichrist, Dawn of Ashes, Detroit Diesel, Feindflug, God Module, Grendel, Hocico, iVardensphere, Nachtmahr, Panic Lift, Psyclon Nine, Reaper, Suicide Commando, The Retrosic, Ritual Aesthetic, Unter Null, Virtual Embrace, and X-Fusion, among many.
