electro-industrial

Electro-industrial, also known as elektro, is a music genre that emerged from industrial music in the early 1980s. While EBM (electronic body music) has a minimal structure and clean production, electro-industrial tends to have a grittier, complex and layered sound with a more experimental approach. The style was pioneered by Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Numb, and other groups, either from Canada or the Benelux. In the early 2000s style spawned the aggrotech offshoot. The fan base for the style is linked to the rivethead subculture.
