EBM is characterized by repetitive (or danceable) rhythms and undistorted vocals. Although EBM is considered more accessible and dance floor friendly, it still keeps with the experimental and thematic qualities of Industrial music. Some of the most notable EBM acts are Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.

You simply can't mention EBM without Neuroticfish in the same sentence. Shame he stopped making music. EBM IS DEAD!

Covenant are a very nostalgic band for me as they were one of the bands that kindled a passion for music in me when I was just getting into it.

And One never fail to make catchy, bouncy, old-school EBM. Always loved 'em.

I find a lot of EBM annoying after a while but it is one of my favourite genres oddly enough.

Harder edged stuff:

'Classic' bands:

and just some of my faves:

Shame about the audio quality on this

Sounds like Lemmy stumbled upon a drum machine one night

Really liking Flesh Field and Suicide Commando. Albums to hear?

Unrelenting · 03-07-2012, 10:46 PM

Flesh Field you want the album Strain. It's probably one of my favorite albums, period. Suicide Commando you want the album that's titled after that track: Bind Torture Kill

You do realize you're allowed to enjoy music on its merit alone, and if somebody else hates it, it doesn't mean it's crap, right? Unless you're not enjoying it as much as you think you are and need constant validation from others to maintain your delusion.
