My obsession for hard, dark and heavy underground music

Well that was a pretty nice metal video, thanks.

So you don't think firing models of an atomic rocket would make a good pyrotechnics show for a rock concert?

LOL, I try to keep the styles as diverse as possible because I just like too many styles, I can't pin myself on just one sub-sub-genre tbh.

I only like the good hard 90's industrial, particularly the sci-fi sounding stuff. The rest is weak IMO.

My favourite stuff is Death-Robot though, it is my own music genre - but do bare in mind I make it purely for myself because it is like crack to me. I don't really post it online as much as I used to though as most others don't seem to like it which is cool and fair enough.

I've recently got into Drum & Bass and Metal. I'm currently listening to Avenged Sevenfold and I'm working through all the Metal bands.
Have been looking for suggestions myself haha. Sepultura are awesome from what I've listened to.

This is something I listened to earlier by a band called High on Fire:

The best sepultura records I found were Chaos AD and Roots. I loved that stuff in the mid-late 90's, sorta makes me feel a bit old now

forgot the metal I liked. I enjoyed stuff that has a good groove and I'm a sucker for polyrhythmic stuff : Meshuggah, Will Haven, Earthtone9, Fear Factory, Neurosis, (early) Swans, Textures, The Minor Times, Knut, Eyehategod ect - guess those bands are what sums up my "metal taste". I'm super picky

Mmm... I might not have done that right; I like good melodics and smooth atmospheres as much as I like noise (don't like either when they're simply there for their own sake though). I did like your recommendations, at least a lot more than the stuff I mentioned before, but I might have misdirected you a little.

I think the thing I'm learning though is I'm into the artistic sides of industrial more than the dance sides. Might sound strange with me being a huge dnb guy but I really wasn't feeling the industrial/dnb blends as much. Then again I think its more about how they're using the dnb drums and sounds. I'm finding that I'd like nothing more than to get my hands on some good industrial, heck, even make some if people are interested, but my thinking's probably outside the box and genre for the moment.

I've thought about it before and, if I were to envision my perfect 'recycler' industrial sound that takes something going on now or in the not so distant past and mashes it up it would be 'dirty south' beats and things like that. I remember the first time I heard Let Me In by Young Buck and I so wanted to get an instrumental from that, get an acapella from a Skinny Puppy track, and do a Danger Mouse style Young Buck vs. Skinny Puppy or something along those lines. If anything I think current commercial hip hop or even from a couple years back - sounds like Kryptonite, TI beats, even going back and raiding some Fugees type stuff, would be slick where it works.

As for how I'd want to use dnb though, I think what industrial interpretations that I've heard lose in the dnb sound is that Aliens/Pitch Black/Bladerunner type sexiness. When you take on dnb but make it feel like KMFDM took it, asserted 'their' mood over it, and threw out the dnb mystique: that's where, at least for me, it falls down. How would I love it?? If they did things like say, had a typical industrial tune where its cold, icey, atmospheric, stuttering type beats (Harsh Stone White by Skinny Puppy is one of my favorites) and it might start with either an openness or lack of drums where you're not sure where its going and then a very Photek-like use of the drumwork comes down where it continues to trip over itself, sidewind, etc. but even moreso that traditional dnb, or it could be simply a texture - like dnb breaks on a highpass kinda floating at the top, shimmering in a real chromed-out and wintery kind of way but never really touching down to the surface of the track. Another idea; take another big open/minimal industrial track and for synths add the 'What The' synth patch from Doc Scott - VIP Rider's Ghost or add the, I'm going to call it the banshee wail (the three-tiered dropping synth that's loaded with distortion and reverb) from Jonny L - Wish You Had Something.

Heck, there is a tune and I was going to post it but alas, Youtube sucks these days; its called Horse by Nico and Instra:mental, its dnb that sounds much more like industrial than dnb but it comes out sounding like the kind of industrial that I'd love (very Se7enish 'dark side of heroin' type sound). Sadly thanks to either changing policies or forgetfulness of users though its not there anymore.

Lol, don't worry, I'm not asking you to go find it - I know I'm asking for the impossible. Still though - stuff that has classy hip hop, trip hop, and dnb influences more in the moods and usages of sounds is what I'd be all over. I could even see some of the 2006/2007ish dubstep and it sort of.....hard to pin words on it....1920's abstract art style stiltedness... soaked into industrial.

I guess I'm also saying; if anyone here who wants to start an experiment is looking for someone who's thinking the way I am - hit me up by PM! We can match beats and see what we've got!
