I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the mix of electronic and rock vibes! “The Bells” is my jam!

First off I was born in 1990. I'm younger than the people who were into industrial music when it was still considered mainstream but I also can't relate to the rap/pop rap/R&B/asmr echo music gen z listens to (and don't get me started on country music, i'm from the rural south and i'm allergic to it, it doesn't matter if it's "pop country" or "real country", it's all twangy garbage that dumbs people down). I've been into industrial music since 2013. As of late i've been revisiting the Jrock/visual kei (some of which is industrial metal, though I didn't know what industrial was back then) I liked as a teenager in the 00s but right now as i'm typing this i'm listening to the British band Play Dead (not industrial but I swear Bill Leeb or his clone was in one of their promo videos, and I know Leeb was into that kind of music (goth rock/death rock)).

Anyways earlier this year I quit my job loading trucks at a large international shipping company. I won't say the name but it sounds similar to GasEx, and i'm in the very anti-worker/anti-union state of Florida. Very loud environment. Machines and hydraulics everywhere going constantly and sirens going off. The place was Orwellian as f*ck. The truth was the opposite of anything they said (not that I believed them because I knew the place was sh*t long before I ever worked there). Posters saying things like "quality over quantity" and "safety first". Ummm no. If you work safely and do your job as you're suppose to on paper then the lights will go off because the chute will get backed-up because you won't be going fast enough. You have to be fast and ruthless with the packages and you have to constantly be on the lookout for the floor manager so you can briefly pretend to work safely and slowly. I have no clue how many brain injuries I sustained because I got hit in the head so many times with heavy packages (heavy packages (often times boxes of bullets for some redneck or gun store) going fast down the chute when you're in the "belly" of the trailer because you have to fill that up first) though I was never knocked unconscious. Speaking of "belly" they refer to lot of things with unique in-house names to make it difficult to communicate with outsiders, and if you have a bad cold then you better take an extra large dose of DayQuil. You're not allowed to show up visibly sick but you have to call a hotline in order to call in sick, and if you're successful in calling in it can still be used against you because the shift manager will yell at you and accuse you of playing hooky and being lazy, and to put the icing on the cake you can't ask anyone for their phone numbers while on the clock, so even though I was often complimented on my work ethic I couldn't gain any extra job references so for all any future employer knows I was a bad employee at "GasEx". Another irony is that you technically weren't allowed to wear clothes that were political or overtly religious, yet ALOT of people wore clothes with Evangelical Christian crap on it along with politics of the anti-union variety. Anti-LGBT stuff was also supposedly not allowed but I saw and heard alot of that as well. Not surprising since this multinational corporation is owned by an anti-union conservative billionaire (and most likely a southern Baptist because he looks and sounds like one who will write down "Jesus loves you" instead of leaving a tip) who was a college buddy of George W. Bush who gave the company a sweet deal when he attempted to partially privatize the postal service back in 2001/2002, which is why we handled alot of stuff that was marked as USPS.

I will admit that WHILE I was there I actually didn't listen to industrial (unless I was playing a game that had industrial-sounding music in it) during my off time because it reminded me of it, but since leaving "GasEx" i've re-acquired my taste for it.

Title. What's next?? I'm obsessed with Coil right now. TG and associated acts are top notch. My sites are set on Nurse with Wound next. Any recommendations apprecaited

Pretty much the title, looking for musical projects that have similar style of music and similar vibe to Wynardtage.

Great song!

As always. RIP Steve Albini

Totally new here. Looking at drum machines and samplers and very overwhelmed. I just want a very basic hardware setup to start and see if I want to continue investing. Any recommendations on a machine that can do it all without too many bells and whistles? I was pointed towards electron digitakt but it’s a little out of range. Wanted to make dark music with some movie/tv/news samples and whatnot. Appreciate any feedback.

I remember reading a while ago about a specific early days Health live performance of Jake sitting on the floor playing a xylophone and screaming? I think they were opening for someone, or was at a festival. I can't seem to find anything about that, much less a video. if anyone could verify that indeed did happen that'd be awesome thanks!!
