Yeah I know. Like I could just decide to be a musical genius right now at 33 and put all the kids in their place for the rest of their lives and all of their children too and create something no one knew how to deal with and maybe being older and wiser and more aesthetically experienced would be why they couldn't even know about it.

And as far as I know they weren't a CBGB's band.

Oh hey I didn't realize Throbbing Gristle's first album was that early. Yeah okay. Musically they still didn't have **** on Suicide but that's still hella neat.

Suicide is definitely the better pop band but TG is peak

But Shostakovich is the real OG

Agreed. Not trying to throw shade but, man, does Suicide scratch a primal itch for me.

I'll have to check that out. Some of that modern classical I was talking about that came before?

I was just playing about Shostokavich (though he did use some industrial sounds technically). Someone like Russolo or Varese would be a better contender for industrial classical music.



There's also this



And whenever Cage busts out the cans it gets ultra industrial.

Basically just browse the Nurse with Wound list for early industrial recs.

The new Clipping song. Love the homage to the original Halloween intro.

Played all of Metal Machine Music at work the other day. The only customer that came in was an old Japanese dude who wanted to buy some ice cream for his granddaughter. He seemed down with it.

Incredible how much of their primitiveness is due to the synths

That's fantastic
