  • MTO 20.2: Heetderks, Review of S. Alexander
    Volume 20, Number 2, March 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory Review of S. Alexander Reed, Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music (Oxford, 2013) David Heetderks NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.14.20.2/mto.14.20.2.heetderks.php KEYWORDS: industrial, post punk, electronic music, EBM, electronic body music, futurepop, cut-up, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Laibach, Burroughs Received March 2014 [1] The genre of industrial music is long-lived and, as is evident from comparing Audio Clip 1 and Audio Clip 2, encompasses a broad range of styles. Audio Clip 1, from “Hamburger Lady” (1978) by Throbbing Gristle, is a collage of noisy sounds and a spoken text that has been electronically modified to near indistinguishability. The only suggestion of a beat is provided by a distant thump, perhaps suggesting a heartbeat. The text assaults common notions of good taste: it describes the medical care of a severely burned woman, forcing listeners to confront a figure that civilized society would keep hidden. Audio Clip 2, from “Headhunter” (1988) by Front 242, features a driving dance beat that, in contradistinction to “Hamburger Lady,” is crisp and motoric. The lead singer shouts out the story of a bounty hunter, performing an aggressive form of masculinity. The sounds of industrial music have appeared even in recent years: the harsh and abrasive synthesizer beats in Kanye West’s 2013 album Yeezus have galvanized critics, leading some to describe a masochistic form of listening that is reminiscent of responses to industrial music.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.

  • Industrial Music and Fascism
    ASSIMILRELEASEATE A Critical History of Industrial Music PUBLIC S. ALEXANDER REED FOR NOT 1 13. Back and Forth: Industrial Music and Fascism 1. Extremism as the Norm Industrial music’s pan-revolutionary streak isn’t just fond of extreme imagery; it relies on it. Te Debordian tyranny of the spectacle, with its aligned control machines and hegemonies, is perceived as so all-encompassing that industrial music ofen takes neoliberal moderation as useless. In particular, the genre’s imagery of totalitarianism is pervasive enough to have rightly become a recur- ring topic of curiosity, caution, prurience, and debate within industrial music’s communities of fans and commentators. Graphically in videos, performances, and on record sleeves; sonically in the music’s unforgivinglyRELEASE quantized march rhythms and samples of political events, news, and flms; and discursively in bands’ lyrics and interviews, industrial music borrows from, enacts, mocks, documents, and embraces signifers of political and ideological extremism from seemingly every corner of human belief. Tis makes a certain sense given that the purported enemies on whom the genre fxes its crosshairs take so many forms. Instead of surveying and cataloguing industrial music’s extremist rheto- ric, this chapter looks deeply at how and why musicians use these signs (both theoretically and functionally),PUBLIC as well as how audiences have interpreted them. Troughout its entire history, the industrial music scene has been home to socialist ideologues, Randian libertarians, anarchists, academics, mistrusters of western intellectualism, utopian mystics, racial purists, nihilists with nothing to lose, and a substantial crowd who either hold aestheticized and underdeveloped ideologies or denyFOR any interest in politics, culture, and the discourse thereof, and who just want to dance.

  • Too Loud in ‘Ere
    1 Too Loud In ‘Ere A Tale of 20 Years of Live Music Jonny Hall, June 2017 (c) Jonny Hall/DJ Terminates Here, 2017. Some rights reserved. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. 2 Introduction Every live gig I’ve ever been to has given me some kind of story to tell. You could ask me about any of them and I could come up with at least one occurrence that captured the spirit of the night. But not every live show has been truly ‘special’. I’ve seen excellent performances by bands with crowds numbering in their thousands that were simply ‘very good nights out’. No more, no less. No, it’s those gigs that leave you buzzing all the way home that count, the ones where you really felt part of something special and years later, need only think of that occasion to be right back there, in soul if not in body. Sometimes the whole gig doesn’t have to be brilliant, a single ‘magic moment’ is all you need. And it’s those events that have kept me coming back for more. Most people just settle for a few favourites and watch them every time they come round. I’m not like that. I’ve rolled the dice on catching relatively unknown bands plenty of times (especially at festivals). You never know what you might discover. It doesn’t always work. I’ve had my share of dead nights, shitty soundsystems and line-ups that seem to shift every time you look at them.
