And of course, gas masks.
Some favourites of the genre to follow in the first post....

Written by criminal_deity on 02.07.2014 at 19:01 Both. I had my share of drama with them, that I didn't find in Lyon and Toulouse. Although I did not spend much time in those two cities, I have friends who tell me there are less tensions than in the Paris groups. Written by criminal_deity on 02.07.2014 at 19:01 I understand, same here. But the drama is the reason so many projects are made and broken in such a short period of time in that scene. I am not gravitating around any of those people anymore. So I do not have fresh gossip to give you that could enlighten you as to why x is working with y, and why y took z's concept for the n album.

well from a general cultural perspective though, not so much individuals, what is it about the scene(s) in France that has made it so conducive to industrial bm? i have an H.I.V.+ vs D.Forma cd from Kubernoise that i think Necrocosm sent me along with an order, and there was JR Rodriguez doing that Sektemtum remix (which was recent), but other than them i know very little of the French electronic/industrial scene or how/why any of them would be tied to the (black) metal scene.

According to the criteria that has been outlined at the beginning of this thread, one may guess that Death Cult Armageddon is an industrial black metal album. Gas masks, post-apocalyptic themes/artwork, grinding mechanized sounds, and a few samples.

OP would never think Death Cult Armaggeddon is industrial black. Actually no one would. OP just wanted to give a short and not extensive description of the kind of bm he wanted to talk about. That wasn't supposed to be the ultimate definition of the genre.

Ah. I'm sorry, I was being rather tongue in cheek. I don't think DCA is an industrial black metal album by any means. Rather, it (loosely) contains the bare minimum of what would be required for something industrial esque. In the booklet, there is a character wearing a gas mask standing amidst a post apocalyptic world made of what seems to be scrap metal and bones, and one of the band members is portrayed as a cyborg. In any case, actual industrial black metal is something I know next to nothing about, so I'm starting with Blut Aus Nord. Starting from the beginning of their discography, I listened to their first two albums (which I know aren't industrial by any means). I have no idea what lies ahead, as I don't want to spoil it for myself before I get the next several albums. !J.O.O.E.!, it was your enthusiasm about BAN that got me really wanting to explore these albums, especially a track I've yet to hear called Procession of the Dead Clowns...

I remember sampling a track a while ago, a bit of Chapter I off of MoRT, and I loved the oppressive atmosphere and sterile bizarreness of it all. If that is where they are headed, then I am completely on board.

Written by [user id=4365] on 16.08.2014 at 22:37 I really love BaN it's one of the best Black Metal acts ever. I'm not sure if it was already mentioned in the thred but Machinenzimmer 412 is a great band!

Finally...  "Having achieved almost mythical status in black metal lore, 'Planet Satan' has been rumoured since the late 1990's, following the band's debut release, 1996's 'In the Streams of Inferno'. Unifying the core trio of Herr General Cerastes, Svartravn & DrBest, 'Planet Satan' is now upon us, & is set for an October 27th 2014 release on Peaceville Records. A work of intense and otherworldly black metal power injected with Mysticum's strong cosmic, satanic and psychedelic overtones, 'Planet Satan' welcomes Mysticum to the new millennium with full & unrelenting force, whilst retaining the core elements which made the Norwegians pioneering legends of industrial black metal. Both infernal & nihilistic, as well as apocalyptic in its scope and execution, 'Planet Satan' is a new milestone for the genre in its sublime, chaotic ferocity. Primitive minor-chord riff patterns & tortured vocals mixed with the band's manic and often unconventional programmed drum beats makes this an eerily hypnotic work of the darkest order. The album was recorded & mixed at Fias Co. Studios with producer Sverre Dæhli, & mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll at Strype Audio in Oslo. Emerging in the early 1990's, Mysticum brought to the world a completely unique brand of psychedelic discordant black metal with insane drum machine patterns & synths. They were originally signed to Euronymous' Deathlike Silence Productions label, such was his belief in the band. However, this venture proved to be cut short following his death, forcing Mysticum to look elsewhere for the release of their eventual debut album, 'In the Streams of Inferno'." http://peaceville.com/news/article/142997

Yeah I guess I could listen to the new Mysticum. Just because it's been ages and I'm curious about what they can come up with after all this time.

Yeah I'm not a fan either, I just checked on my votes and I discovered a six for one of their albums. And I used to be more generous with my votes back then. But hey, it's so weird to finally be able to say "hey, I know these guys, I'll listen to their new stuff". I feel like I really landed on another planet, I know zero bands now.

Written by V01d on 16.08.2014 at 22:57 Not wanting to spoil it for you, but you would not find anything much similar to that album. Still worth checking since they have done astonishing albums with different ideas.

Written by mz on 18.08.2014 at 23:40 I'm really looking forward to what lies ahead. This weekend I'll be picking up The Mystical Beast Of Rebellion, and The Work Which Transforms God, the latter comes with the Thematic Emanation Of Archetypal Multiplicity EP I think. Two weeks after that it's off to get MoRT and Odinist. I have always been a fan of experimental music that pushes boundaries and challenges the listener, as well as more traditional styles of metal. On the topic of industrial black metal in particular, the only thing I have that comes close is Deleted Scenes From The Transition Hospital. Great album.

Written by V01d on 19.08.2014 at 00:29 With TEOAM and TWWTG you're all set to become a BaN lover. May I suggest you try some P.H.O.B.O.S. as well? It's similar to TWWTG-era BaN. They're in the database, you can for example start withe the split EP they released with BaN this year, here. Joe don't come in and disagree with me, I'm just simplifying it so he can understand what I'm talking about.

Written by Ilham on 19.08.2014 at 00:39 Right on. I will give P.H.O.B.O.S. a listen after I digest those two BaN albums. Thanks for the recommendation, and the link.

The photo-compositing is shit and the logo/album title are badly integrated. But that's an album I'll listen to.
