Any EBMers out there?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Are any heartlanders into EBM? Goth and Industrial have a long history if friendship, but most heartlanders seem a bit too 'old school' to be interested in all this bleepy nonsence.

Anyway, this is not a EBM bashing thread, I'm just curious.

It also leads onto the question of will anyone be at VNV Nation on the 23rd?

What do you mean "old school" ? EBM started in the mid-80s IIRC, so that's not exactly new school.
There are some eletro-heads around here. Can you guess who they are ? :innocent:
But I wouldn't necessarily describe the goth/indus (which is different from EBM BTW) relationship as one of "friendship". I remember some dark-whatever events where it was quite hard to please the two contingents at the same time. Skinny Puppy was a consensus choice, but there wasn't so many of them.

I realise that their is a difference betwenn trad industrial and electronic body music!

Of course its often hard to please 2 different crowds, but they do play togther in the same sandpit.

Anyway...I'm not sure I can guess the electro-heads (I love the way you put it!).

I started out listening to electro/EBM when I was about 11-12 so I have a few albums in the shelf.
It started with DM, Kraftwerk and DAF then groups like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and Front Line Assembly took over.

Yep (in answer to the first question). How dare you generalise about the state of HLers! :lol:

Unfortunately what cash I have will disappear in Amsterdam the week before VNV play, which is a bummer as they were bloody stonking in Sheffield last year (or was it this year). Have fun, it's hard not to. Jolly nice chaps too, bless.

Uh uh. Front invented the name, if not the genre.
EBM also means electro belge moustachue. At least in my sick little mind. ;D

Seen Front 242 live countless times usually great shows.

Dunno if you throw early Yello in there as well.

Actually I am quite partial to a little EBM/techno goth/whatever its called,but after about an hour of, what sounds like the same track, I'm ready to stick the guilty DJ's pseudo-techno wank up his stupid arse.
Most EBM is abject bollocks.If I wanted rave I'd go to a rave and not a goth night.And you can stick your glow-sticks,wooly wigs,goggles and spandex up your arse.Cyber goths are wankers who are too old/fat/frightened to get into proper techno.
And as for all those bands that sound like Depeche mode?FFFS!!!!

EBM IS DEAD,FACT! And good bloody riddance,I say!!!!


Thanks for listening.None of this applies to Covenant,VNV nation,XPQ21 or Front 242 who make exceptionally fine music

The only electronic music I really listen to is Krautrock, minimalism, 80s synthpop, James Ray's stuff, and anything Genesis P-Orridge releases.

One of the best synthpop album ever if you ask me.
