Cyborg Attack of J-AV IDOLS-old school EBM B.I.T.C.H. Analog ComplexHDD_2005_Re-worked Electro-industrial is an outgrowth of the EBM and industrial music that developed in the mid-1980s. While EBM has a minimal structure and clean production, electro-industrial has a deep, complex and layered sound, incorporating elements of ambient industrial. The style was pioneered by Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, and Wumpscut:.[3] In the mid-'90s, the style spawned the dark electro and aggrotech offshoots. Industrial dance[edit] Industrial dance is a North American alternative term for electronic body music and electro-industrial music. Fans associated with this music scene call themselves rivetheads. Since the mid-1980s,[4] the term "Industrial dance" has been used to describe the music of Cabaret Voltaire (early 80s),[5] early Die Krupps,[6] Portion Control,[7] The Neon Judgement,[6] Clock DVA,[8] Nitzer Ebb,[9][10] Skinny Puppy,[11] Front Line Assembly,[12][13][14] Front 242,[6][10][15] Ministry (mid-80s era),[16] KMFDM,[17][18][19] Yeht Mae,[8] Leæther Strip,[20] or early Spahn Ranch.[21] In March 1989, SPIN magazine presented a two-paged article about the Industrial Dance movement in Canada and the US.[22] History[edit] 1978--1987[edit] The term electronic body music was coined by Ralf Hütter of the German electronic band Kraftwerk in 1978 to explain the more physical sound of their album The Man-Machine.[23] DAF from Germany used the term "Körpermusik" (body music) to describe their danceable electronic punk sound.[24] The term was later used in by Belgian band Front 242 in 1984 to describe the music of their EP of that year, No Comment.[25][26] Front 242 characterized their approach as falling between Throbbing Gristle and Kraftwerk.[26] Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy, both influenced by DAF[27] and Cabaret Voltaire, followed soon after. Groups from this era often applied socialist realist aesthetics, with ironic intent.[28] Other prominent groups include Die Krupps,[29] à;GRUMH..., Parade Ground,[30] and A Split-Second.[31] 1988--1993[edit] In the second half of the 1980s, American and Canadian music groups such as Front Line Assembly,[32] Ministry,[33] and Schnitt Acht[34] started to use typical European EBM elements. They combined these elements with the roughness of American industrial rock, particularly in the case of Revolting Cocks.[35] Nine Inch Nails continued the cross-pollination between EBM and industrial rock[36] resulting in their album "Pretty Hate Machine" (1989). Meanwhile, EBM became popular in the underground club scene, particularly in Europe. In this period the most important labels were the Belgian Play It Again Sam and Antler-Subway, the German Zoth Ommog, the North American Wax Trax! and the Swedish Energy Rekords. Significant artists included And One,[37] Armageddon Dildos,[38] Bigod 20,[39] The Neon Judgement,[40] and Attrition.[41] Between the early and the mid-1990s, many EBM artists split up, or changed their musical style, borrowing more distorted industrial elements or elements of rock or metal. The album Tyranny For You by EBM pioneers Front 242 initiated the end of the EBM epoch of the 1980s. Nitzer Ebb, one of the most important artists, also became an industrial rock band. Without the strength of its figureheads, the original electronic body music faded by the mid-1990s. Revival[edit] In the late 1990s and after the millennium, Swedish and German groups such as Tyske Ludder, Coinside and Spetsnaz[42] have made EBM music. In the same time period, a number of artists from the European techno scene started including more elements of EBM in their sound. This tendency grew in parallel with the emerging electroclash scene and, as that scene started to decline, a number of artists associated with it, such as The Hacker, DJ Hell,[43] Green Velvet, and Black Strobe,[44] moved towards this techno/EBM crossover style. There has been increasing convergence between this scene and the old school EBM scene. Bands and artists have remixed each other. Most notably, Terence Fixmer joined with Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy to form Fixmer/McCarthy.[45]
