Industrial Rock

Industrial rock is a fusion genre of industrial music and rock music that originated in the late 1970s. It is characterized by a distorted, mechanical sound, often created with synthesizers and drum machines, and heavily processed guitar and bass. It often incorporates elements of punk rock, noise, and alternative rock, and is often associated with the gothic and cyberpunk subcultures. Industrial rock bands often incorporate elements of performance art and shock tactics into their live shows.
