Reznor grew up isolated in small-town Pennsylvania, where he studied classical piano as a kid, switching to keyboards and playing in garage bands as a teen. He dropped out of Pennsylvania’s Meadville College, moved to Cleveland, and recorded a self-made demo. That tape got him signed to TVT, an independent label best known for compilations of TV jingles.

Pretty Hate Machine was coproduced by Flood (Depeche Mode, U2), John Fryer (Love & Rockets, Cocteau Twins), and Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc. It yielded three college-radio hits, most notably “Head Like a Hole,” the video for which got extensive MTV play. Although the album vented an extremely dire, introspective outlook, it sold a million copies. This was at least in part due to the fact that Reznor assembled a band that spent three years on the road promoting Pretty Hate Machine, in the process dazzling audiences at the 1991 Lollapalooza Tour and opening for Guns n’ Roses in Europe. NIN spent so long touring because Reznor was suing to be released from TVT, who he said didn’t support him artistically or financially. Several other companies were interested in NIN, and when TVT wouldn’t let Reznor go, Interscope negotiated an agreement to corelease the band. Interscope also gave Reznor his own label, Nothing. Broken (Number Seven, 1992) was recorded during this period in a number of locations “without the permission of The Record Label,” as the liner notes say. The EP is an intensely devastated and devastating document, once again entirely masterminded by Reznor, with three tracks coproduced by Flood. NIN had Coil and Foetus’ Jim Thirwell remix tracks from Broken on Fixed.

Broken debuted at Number Seven on the pop albums chart, while “Wish,” a track from the record, won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Reznor tested the freedom granted by his new record company on the video for “Happiness in Slavery,” which showed a man being sexually tortured and ground into a pulp by a machine - a visualization of NIN’s own tortured nature as a synth band venting human emotions and an apt metaphor for Reznor’s feelings about the music business. This was not the first controversial NIN video: “Sin,” from the first album, was refused by MTV for its images of genital piercing and gay men smearing blood on each other, while outtakes from “Down in It” were investigated by the FBI, which suspected that they were culled from a snuff film.

Working on his next album in L.A., Reznor moved into the house where Charles Manson’s followers murdered Sharon Tate. Flood again coproduced, and the album featured guitarist Adrian Belew. The Downward Spiral (1994), a dense, depression-filled, and uncompromising work, debuted at Number Two on the chart and went on to sell 5 million copies.

In the summer of 1994, NIN appeared at the Woodstock ’94. A version of “Happiness in Slavery” from the live album culled from performances at the festival earned NIN its second Grammy for Best Metal Performance. In 1996, Reznor coproduced shock-rocker Marilyn Manson’s Antichrist Superstar (the two men later had a falling-out). Reznor also produced the soundtracks for Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers (1994) and David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997).

Accolades from both the rock and mainstream press were pouring in by this time, with Time magazine naming Reznor one of the 25 most influential Americans. In 1999 NIN released its first studio album in five years, a despairing double CD called The Fragile (Number One). Working with a broader sonic palette than before, Reznor tempered his throbbing cacophony with moodier, subdued moments; ROLLING STONE hailed the record “a brutal and delicate masterpiece.” “The Day the World Went Away” debuted at Number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart to become the first Top 40 single of NIN’s career.

All that Could Have Been, a live disc and video documenting the Fragile tour cycle, followed in 2002. Reznor resurfaced three years later with another Number One studio album from Nine Inch Nails, With Teeth, which included the Number One Modern Rock singles “Every Day is Exactly the Same” and “Only.” NIN was slated to perform the anti-George W. Bush song “The Hand That Feeds” at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards but dropped out when the channel refused to allow the group to perform in front of a large image of the president. The group toured through 2006, stopping briefly for Reznor to put together another set of studio tracks, and resumed touring in 2007. The bleak Orwellian concept album Year Zero (Number Two) arrived in April, spawning the Number One Modern Rock hit “Survivalism.” The album included a pre-release marketing campaign that involved an elaborate online alternate reality game offering fans clues to the album’s storyline, and a remixed version (Y34R Z3R0 R3M1X3D), offered fans the opportunity to contribute their own remixes of the tracks online. Reznor, long unhappy with the music industry, announced that October that Year Zero had been his contract-ending release for Universal Music Group and that he would release all future music independently. In 2008, within two months of each other, Reznor released two albums: Ghosts I-IV, an entirely instrumental album, was released in March and The Slip, released in May, was given away as a free download.

Manson was born and raised Brian Hugh Warner in a middle-class family in Canton, Ohio. He was close to his parents but chafed at the ideologies and rules of his private Christian school. Seduced by rock during lectures about alleged evil messages embedded in the music, he took to rebellion and was expelled. Finishing at a public high school, he moved to South Florida with his family, and formed Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids in 1989 after a short stint in rock journalism. Each member of the group adopted a stage name patterned after Manson's, a female icon's name crossed with a serial killer's.

The band released a series of self-produced cassettes and attracted the attention of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, who signed them to Nothing, his Interscope imprint, in 1993. The following year, Reznor produced the group's industrial-metal debut, Portrait of an American Family, and took the band on tour with NIN. There, Manson wasted little time securing his status as a nightmare to the Christian right, exposing himself and feigning sexual acts onstage with other band members. (He was arrested after one show in Florida in what would become the first of several on- and offstage skirmishes that resulted in lawsuits.) He was made a "reverend" of the Church of Satan by founder Anton LaVey, though Manson would later note that he was no more a practicing Satanist than he was a practicing Christian, as he was baptized.

Nonetheless, the controversy — and a radio hit with a hard-rock cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" — pushed the 1995 EP Smells Like Children to Number 31 and (eventually) platinum sales. With Antichrist Superstar (Number Three, 1996), Manson became a star. A brutally aggressive concept album about a nihilistic rock god, it spawned a stage show in which Manson ripped pages out of a Bible. Fueled by (false) rumors that the shows contained animal sacrifices, bestiality and rape, activist groups across America lobbied to ban the group's performances. In the midst of the furor, Manson cowrote an autobiography, The Long Road Out of Hell, with rock journalist Neil Strauss, in 1997, the same year as the Remix & Repent EP (Number 102) and his big-screen debut in David Lynch's Lost Highway.

For Mechanical Animals (Number One, 1998), Manson adopted a new persona, an androgynous, Ziggy Stardust-style glam rocker, Omega. He explained to interviewers that Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals were part of a pseudoautobiographical trilogy, told in reverse order, with Mechanical Animals intended as a satire in which the protagonist's revolution becomes "sold out." The album went platinum like Antichrist Superstar before it, but the accompanying tour was derailed when Manson's music was blamed, along with violent video games, as a negative influence on the two teenage boys responsible for the Columine High School massacre in April 1999. Manson canceled several concert dates in light of the tragedy but vehemently distanced himself from it, decrying the killings as well as allegations that his or anyone else's music was responsible for the murders. (He appeared in Michael Moore's 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine to discuss violence and the media.)

After a live album, The Last Tour on Earth (Number 82, 1999), Mason returned in 2000 with the final part of his trilogy, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) (Number 13). Telling the story of the future antichrist superstar's origins before his corruption, the album ditched the glam-rock sound of Mechanical Animals for a return to heavy, industrialized goth rock. Twiggy Ramirez left the band soon thereafter due to creative differences, but Manson continued on with The Golden Age of Grotesque (Number One, 2003), which was heavily influenced by Weimar-era Berlin and produced a Grammy-nominated single, "Mobscene." A best-of, Lest We Forget, followed a year later. By this time, the edge had slightly worn off of Manson's persona: The Onion satirized the rocker with the headline "Marilyn Manson Now Going Door-to-Door Trying to Shock People. He'd become more famous for his relationships: a brief engagement to actress Rose McGowan, a short-lived marriage to neo-burlesque queen Dita Von Teese and subsequent canoodling with 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood, who appeared in the video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)," the first single from his 2007 album Eat Me, Drink Me (Number Eight). Manson reunited with Twiggy Ramirez for the album's Rape of the World Tour, citing Led Zeppelin's 2007 reunion as an inspiration.

Manson, who started producing his own brand of absinthe, has been working on the film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, about the fantastical children's author, for several years (he is directing and starring in the lead role). ]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68979&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:24:38 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68979 art.68979 Rob Zombie art.68979 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68979&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68979&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Hellbilly Deluxe sold better in its first week than any White Zombie album had managed to do, Zombie dissolved the group to pursue his solo career full-time.

Throwing himself utterly into his undead persona, Zombie has emerged as alternative music's premier purveyor of heavy, disco-metal grooves that break down the barricade between the mosh pit and the dance floor. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15904&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:24:38 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.15904 art.15904 Dope art.15904 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15904&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15904&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5741&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:55:15 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5741 art.5741 Sevendust art.5741 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5741&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5741&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68505&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:06:57 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68505 art.68505 Static-X art.68505 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68505&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68505&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:23:07 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14791 art.14791 Mindless Self Indulgence art.14791 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14791&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2968&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Contemporary Hard Rock Sun, 27 Dec 2009 10:14:27 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2968 art.2968 Filter art.2968 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2968&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2968&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20263597&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Metalcore Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:24:21 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.20263597 art.20263597 Attack Attack art.20263597 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20263597&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20263597&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.75&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:51:05 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.75 art.75 Powerman 5000 art.75 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.75&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.75&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3986&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:26:51 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3986 art.3986 Ministry art.3986 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3986&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3986&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss The Land of Rape and Honey, it was clear that the music was genuinely unique in the mainstream and that they had created a sound as powerful and heavy (if not more so) than any alternative or metal band of the period. The band crossed those alternative and metal lines, drawing hordes of fans from each camp and helping along the eventual blurring of those traditionally opposite styles that occurred in the late '80s and early '90s with the onset of grunge rock and alternative metal. Ministry's influence (which can be felt even today in the industrial scene) was both musical and stylistic and the albums they put out during their peak (Land Of Rape And Honey, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste and Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed & the Way to Suck Eggs) actually stand up over a decade later. The band continues to release albums today and, to its credit, remains as Satanic and sex-obsessed as ever -- an aesthetic Nine Inch Nails may have taken to the top but Ministry invented. - Mike McGuirk]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36787&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:55:14 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.36787 art.36787 White Zombie art.36787 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36787&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36787&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss La Sexorcisto, their 1992 Geffen debut, offered listeners a bump-and-grind horror show of the occult and borderline blasphemous.

Wither went gold; perhaps even better, the briefly reformed Sex Pistols invited Stabbing Westward to open on their U.S. tour.

The early American pioneers of industrial dance-rock music probably never imagined that a popularized version of their sound would be a commercial radio favorite within a decade (any more than the likes of the Replacements and the Pixies could have expected to find themselves echoed back in Kurt Cobain's voice 24 hours a day). But audiences can be fickle, and Stabbing Westward soon numbered among the many minor successes of the post-Cobain alt-rock bonanza. When a third album, Darkest Days, appeared in 1998, all ears seemed to be on the lite-pop likes of Matchbox 20, and the record failed to go gold. After being dropped by Columbia, the group issued its next, self-titled long-player on large indie Koch Records. The band broke up before issuing a fifth album. Interestingly, though, Columbia found the band bankable enough to be worthy of an entry in its Essential series, usually reserved for the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Bruce Springsteen. With the band members scattered, who knows what it means. But fans may find it worthwhile to stay tuned. - Jaan Uhelszki]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35995&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:44:26 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.35995 art.35995 KMFDM art.35995 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35995&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35995&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Is a Drug Against War. - Marc Kate]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62024&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:51:11 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62024 art.62024 Machine Head art.62024 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62024&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62024&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38146&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Sun, 27 Dec 2009 10:14:26 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38146 art.38146 Orgy art.38146 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38146&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38146&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10257107&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Sat, 2 Aug 2008 23:01:52 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10257107 art.10257107 Revolver1010 art.10257107 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10257107&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10257107&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6870&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:24:36 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6870 art.6870 Lords of Acid art.6870 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6870&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6870&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3099&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Sun, 20 Dec 2009 09:42:19 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3099 art.3099 Coal Chamber art.3099 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3099&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3099&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.155&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:01:04 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.155 art.155 Gravity Kills art.155 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.155&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.155&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.917&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:07:04 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.917 art.917 Front 242 art.917 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.917&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.917&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68656&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:21 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68656 art.68656 Apoptygma Berzerk art.68656 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68656&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68656&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Black Celebration, the end result may have been equally oppressive -- though without entirely abandoning a pop orientation. Fans' fervor for Apoptygma Berzerk, however, has less to do with the gloomy pallor of Groth's lyrics and more to do with his penchant for throbbing, irresistible beats. It's no small feat figuring out how to inspire sulky, black-bedizened club-crawlers to shrug off their pestilential gloom and pound the dancefloor in ecstatic unison; but if you're daring enough to venture out to your local Goth club, you can see it happening all the time -- thanks to Apoptygma Berzerk. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1007&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:19:44 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1007 art.1007 My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult art.1007 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1007&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1007&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28447&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:25:45 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.28447 art.28447 Oomph art.28447 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28447&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28447&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56968&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:24:23 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.56968 art.56968 Skinny Puppy art.56968 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56968&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56968&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Bites and Remission, their first two efforts, were stunning accomplishments for their time, and their edges still cut today. Drawing on the influences of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Suicide, Ogre and cEVIN Key used synthesizers to extract beats that sucked backwards, notes that mapped themselves onto multidimensional sound grids, dehumanized "ghost in the machine" voices, and other etiolated audio oddities. With the production assistance of David Ogilvie, the band positioned itself at the fore of Industrial music's avant-garde and held that spot until their 1996 farewell release The Process. They pioneered the use of sampling to create a seamless fabric of hysteria as evidenced on Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse and Cleanse Fold & Manipulate -- dense palimpsests of cybernetic sounds and smash-and-grab samples that ranged from campy to overtly political. As the band matured, their material became increasingly personalized, outlining their battles with drugs and depression. Too Dark Park is particularly tough going, but may eventually be considered their masterpiece. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68987&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:36:49 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68987 art.68987 Revolting Cocks art.68987 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68987&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68987&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8450&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Alt Metal Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:19:34 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8450 art.8450 Kittie art.8450 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8450&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8450&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071408&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Fri, 9 Oct 2009 10:32:29 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7071408 art.7071408 Combichrist art.7071408 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071408&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071408&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6227&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:41:12 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6227 art.6227 Funker Vogt art.6227 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6227&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6227&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.46483&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Techno Sat, 3 Oct 2009 10:45:22 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.46483 art.46483 Covenant (Techno) art.46483 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.46483&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.46483&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1132&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:40 -0800 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1132 art.1132 Front Line Assembly art.1132 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1132&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1132&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69122&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Metal Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:04:54 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.69122 art.69122 Prong art.69122 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69122&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69122&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Primitive Origins mini-LP (1987) , Prong quickly learned to tighten the screws on their sound, using drum machines and sampling. By the time Cleansing was released in 1994, the band was giving free reign to Industrial beats. Their rigid, succinct guitars are struck rather than strummed, and imperial marching beats sound (and often are) programmed rather than played. Their final albums beg remixing for futuristic combat video games. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15257117&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Wed, 7 Oct 2009 12:13:59 -0700 Top Industrial Artists on Rhapsody Online art.15257117 art.15257117 Blaqk Audio art.15257117 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15257117&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15257117&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Findustrial%2Fartist-chart.rss CexCells.
