[edit] veratability

does anyone have any proof of the notability of this term? i've heard of industrial rock with christian themes, the kind the article describes, but i can't say i've heard the specific phrase "christian industrial" before. --MilkMiruku 13:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This type of music does exist, but has it a very limited cult following, though I was well aware of the term long before reading about it here on wikipedia. They're is a good number of fansites for such groups, such as Balaam's Miricle G&I Pages. I do however, agree with the statements below, that this article does need a serious re-write.

[edit] Article needs a lot of work

This article is pointless and full of vague misinformation. The first paragraph could fit into any article on almost any kind of Christian pop/rock/etc. The second paragraph belongs in an article about industrial music in general (a link to the main industrial music page would probably suffice). Furthermore, the author has an astounding ignorance of industrial music's history and genres. The third paragraph is just plain false; there is a fairly large number of Christian musicians making industrial music of various kinds (go to flamingfish.com for more information). The list of artists at the bottom is vastly inadequate and contains some perplexing entries such as Evanescence (wtf?) and Skillet (Only made two albums that could be considered "industrial")

I think this article needs a complete re-write.

[edit] Umbrella Term

I think christian industrial is an umbrella term, like industrial is. (it was a genre long ago, by the way, just to make my point clear) I've been checked that radio in the winamp shoutcast, and it's not just industrial rock, but the were stuffs like ebm, futurepop, etc. All with christian/god themed lyrics. Also they often use "christian like melody leading". (some musician could describe it better, I can't really do) Also there are often. I've been noticed, there a lot of christian chorus-vocal stuffs in the background, maybe they're sounded synthesized. Also these tracks are not that dark as the basic industrial music pieces. Oh and in the article the part which one says people thinks industrial = industrial rock is not correct. Okay somewhere maybe, but here people thinks Rammstein or Rob Zombie are just rock, and that's all. So it could be in the article as a generalization. Oh and someone said Evanscence is not industrial. That's correct. They use some synths but that's all. Also, as I know they not even described themselves as a christian band.--TaZaR 19:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Industrial music in the 1960s? BTW: You should delete this article. That's not an etablished genre term. --Menorrhea 00:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You do realize

That real industrial has nothing to do with electronic music. Inhumer 16:39, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. And it also has nothing to do with metal-like guitar riffs. Sadly, there seems to be no way to make people understand that industrial is really anti-music. This is why i differentiate between Industrial, EBM/Futurepop and Electrock. The latter is what many people call industrial metal, industrial rock or just industrial, however misguided that is.
