Wow, there's some really good stuff you have listed there. I am totally in love with Diary of Dreams, and Project Pitchfork was amazing throughout most of the 90's and the early 2000's. Too bad Pitchfork "postponed" their US tour indefinitely. They were supposed to bring DoD with them, and they did have a Detroit date scheduled before the "postponement".

As far as recommendations... Check out the following:

- [:SITD:] - Coded Message: 12 (Metropolis Records) -- EBM/elektro

- Psyclon Nine - INRI (Metropolis Records) -- harsh elektro/terror EBM

- Heimataerde - Gotteskrieger (Metropolis Records) -- terror EBM with some medieval hints

- XP8 - Forgiven (Remastered Re-Release) (Static Sky Records) -- EBM/synthpop

- Eisbrecher - (self-titled) (Dancing Ferret Records) -- elektro-metal/industrial

- Sero.Overdose - No Time for Silence (Alfa-Matrix Records) -- synthpop/EBM

- Virtual Embrace - Hellektro (Alfa-Matrix Records) -- terror EBM through and through

- Culture Kultür - Reborn (Out of Line Records) -- synthy EBM in the vein of Apoptygma Berzerk and Covenant

And, if you don't already have these:

- Blutengel - Angel Dust (Out of Line Records) -- darkwave/synth-Goth

- Umbra et Imago - Memento Mori (Spirit Productions) -- Goth-metal with a fetish undertone

- Unheilig - Zelluloid (Four Rock Entertainment) -- sounds like Rammstein meets VNV Nation

Hope that helps!

[Daevion]

I'll check those out!!....and yes that does help

I've got some of thier mp3's already.....they are ok...but alittle too death metalish for my taste....

I do like: some death-like vocals

Theatre of Tragedy

My Dying Bride

Paralysed Age (not really deathish vocals)

[4thorseman]

there are many other great ebm-synthpop bands

you should try listening to my online radio when ever im on... if you like what you hear just download it

To tune in go to http://pirateradionetwork.com/

press download player

after you finish downloading (only about 300 kb)

install the file when a windows saying mp3 ogg and stuff like that opens unmark all the V s

after the installation finishes open the player you installed press

radio - station - music - ectronica - ebmania

and you are set to go have fun!

i also recomand a band called Observe and Control

Utopia is the name of their album

the best album i heard this year

[bav]

*Kompressor - minimalistic industrial, usually about crushing

*Suicide Commando Axis of Evil - Harsh EBM

*Stromkern - Industrial/EBM music & lyrics, lyrical style at a someowhat hip-hopish pace, may want to start off with the Stand Up single, haven't heard the new album yet

*Hocico Wrack & Ruin - Harsh EBM/Industrial from Mexico

*Combichrist Everybody Hates You - Industrial-Techno side project of Icon of Coil

*Mentallo & The Fixer Revelations 23 - Industrial

*Meg Lee Chin Piece & Love - Industrial-rockish riot-grrl music from my favorite Pigface diva

*Kraftwerk Trance Europe Express - Grand-daddys of electronic music, classic

[Pulse State]

*Stromkern - Industrial/EBM music & lyrics, lyrical style at a someowhat hip-hopish pace, may want to start off with the Stand Up single, haven't heard the new album yet

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The new Stromkern album is pretty good actually.

[Mizstomp]

Try and check out The Retrosic's new album (not that new, but still kinda new)...........

GOD OF HELL

It's amazing. Can't go wrong.

[Daevion]

Thanks for the great ideas!!

I really liked Psyclon Nine(INRI) and Observe and Control really impressed me alot...I ordered both of these cd's.

Are you looking to get different

[Daevion]

Are you looking to get different

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

possibly....whats this difference you speak of?

[phee]

Well... there are a million different EBM acts, and a lot of them are good, but are you looking to expand in any other ways with this inquery?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm open to different kinds of music....with a few exceptions ( rap, r&b, country..)

[phee]

Well if you like extremely erie electronic ambient, I would recomend "Blood Machine" by Steve Roach... it will take you very far out of your head...

[Daevion]

does is sound anything like Slow dive?

[phee]

Not at all... no lyrics, just soundscapes, tribal precussion, and well washes of synth.

He actually started long ago, and he is one of my favorites

sounds pretty good actually, very mellow, I could probably fall asleep to this....which is rare because normally I can't sleep with any music playing

listened to a mp3 a few moments ago...too bad they only had one free track

Yeah he is good.... Where did you check out the MP3 from?

[Daevion]

I got it here: http://music.download.com/steveroach/3600-...ing_song_artist

I found some other links from his website that have samples but not entire tracks

if you are diggin on Steve Roach check out Horchata, Skalpell, and Lolpix. Love the dark ambient/illbient stuff.

Might want to check out some IDM to like Kid606 or Cex

though im sure you might have it already but Assemblage 23 "storm" is a great synthpop album.

though he is usually Intelligent Drum n Bass, Darkhalo has written some absolutely sick tracks if you are looking to stick with dance-able but still dark. go here http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/demos/scene.org/mu...tists/darkhalo/ and downlaod "clockwork dawn/day/night" its a three track series. Succubus is a great track too.

[soothsayer]

You should check out Mog stunt team - cool stuff.

[DarkenedCharm]

Daevion,

A couple for you if you haven't heard them yet...

Dissecting Table - Noisy Ambient / Industrial with Metal elements

Hellsau - Good trippy Industrial

Hanzel Und Gretyl - Think Rammstein with female vocals and more nihilism

Glenn Danzig's Black Aria - This one is old, but it is great. Very movie soundtrack-oriented
