I have been listening to a band by the name of
Psyclon Nine for some time, thinking they were the only ones doing what they were doing. Recently I picked up a copy of "Alternative" magazine, and found, to my enjoyment, more similar bands that fall into a genre known as "Dark Electro" (AKA Aggrotech). The genre is an evil evolution of techno, inflecting it with, industrial and black metal sounds, anti-religious or violence themed lyrics and samples taken from various places, but mainly horror movies. The vocals are often screamed and heavily processed, making for a sweet effect.
Bands to look into:
Psyclon Nine:
Blending blast beats with industrial noise and anti-religious/societal lyrics, Psyclon Nine are something you don't see every day. The most black metal influenced band in the genre I've found so far, really interesting lyrics such as:
"You ripped the soul from the child in me
Bow down to the land of the free
Bow down to the world that made me"
Listen to them
hereor watch these videos (second one is crap quality but a great song):
Dawn of Ashes:
Their latest album "The Crypt Injection" mixes a danceable groove with screamed vocals and a whole lot of sampling, making for an album that sounds like you should be dancing to while brutally murdering anyone who comes a little too close into your personal bubble. I'm too tired to get my words out properly, so just go listen to them and LOVE IT!
Myspace
I'll add more as I find them, until i find the next genre to expose like a virgin on prom night.
