I would be more inclined to say that they're industrial rock and not really industrial, but maybe I'm just being a genre nazi. Great band, though. Despite all of the comparisons to Swans' early work. I still think their music is very unique.
Honestly, I feel the best definition for industrial (to me) would be "abrasive free-form electronic music." I think it's a fairly reasonable definition for a genre that's already difficult to define (even if some industrial bands aren't 100% electronic). I also remember hearing somewhere that industrial music is basically "just Stockhausen doing punk rock." Of course, this isn't really true... but I just thought it was a bit funny, haha.
