Industrial Rock
Industrial rock, also referred to as industrial metal, is a more aggressive and rhythmic outgrowth of the original industrial music movement, influenced heavily by punk rock and thrash metal. Embracing industrial music's penchant for controversial themes and punk rock's attachment to political confrontation, industrial rock groups are frequently highly political or militaristic (for example, Ministry's recent three-album indictment of the George W. Bush administration).
Industrial rock's crossover appeal between the industrial set, punks and metalheads alike, combined with media attention drawn by band's shock tactics (see Marilyn Manson's entire career), has propelled industrial metal into being one of the most popular darktronica genres, and one of the few to produce platinum records or major radio airplay in the United States.
