Industrial is harsh, pessimistic electro-rock with a sonic palette of abrasive, mechanical sounds. The genre takes its name from Industrial Records, the label that hosted Industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. Nine Inch Nails’ “Pretty Hate Machine” is a masterpiece of the genre, and other Industrial bands include Ministry, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, Front 242, and Skinny Puppy. Source: Audiogalaxy
