Topic: Aggrotech


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Aggrotech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The style had mostly died out by the end of the decade with the rise of synthpop and futurepop in the alternative electronic scene, but has experienced a recent surge in popularity and proliferation as both aggrotech and power noise have become more common at goth/industrial clubs.
Examples of artists that could be considered aggrotech include Aghast View, Suicide Commando, Die Sektor, :wumpscut:, Psyclon Nine, Hocico, Dulce Liquido, Amduscia, Tactical Sekt, Feindflug, Dot Execute, Virtual Embrace, Aslan Faction, Grendel, Agonoize, The Retrosic, Combichrist, Funker Vogt, Tamtrum and unter null.
Older acts such as Aghast View and Wumpscut have more recently restructured their format into a mellower, less edgy style of music, while new acts like Psyclon Nine, Agonoize and Virtual Embrace have revitalized the genre to an extent.

 Psyclon Nine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While their early efforts are generally categorized as aggrotech, their more recent material has incorporated a disparate set of influences, notably fl metal, creating a more accessible and inventive output but remaining reasonably under the umbrella of industrial music.
The album was released in 2003 and was well received by clubgoers and aggrotech enthusiasts, although many critics considered it derivative.
The band toured lightly in the US and Europe in support of the album, playing with bands including Dismantled, Nocturne, Feindflug, Aslan Faction, Grendel, and American industrial rock figurehead Martin Atkins on his spoken word tour.

 [ involution : textuality : a travail of two nations ]
I was obsessively into the band Front 242, who used a lot of quasi-political imagery and thematic sounds in their music...as did a lot of the other industrial dance bands at the time.
It went over well with the crowd (even though in retrospect I think they must have thought me a great deal more insane than I thought they did) and it all went with the whole industrial theme, and well, it was *fun*...not the kind of thing you got to see every day.
If the winning of this war were decided by club attendance and general atmosphere, the "winner" was the Federation of Aggrotech, hands down.

 [involution : textuality : + soul manager +]
I more or less gave up and decided to leave the whole confusing, aggravating game of getting laid to those who were better at it than I, and began to get my pleasure in another way: being the center of activity, the inspirator, the one who helped to put the parties and events together.
Instead, I regaled them tales of the crazy social events that transpired at my club...the ridiculous internecine war Aggrotech was having with the other industrial DJ that preceded ours...and describing these vastly unimportant squabbles in terms of the clashings of great nations.
She's the "Luz Syd" who appears with the Bay Area industrial band Xorcist and was also my partner in the project of creating an industrial zine, to carry on the name of Aggrotech since I no longer had the resources necessary to run a club.

Those looking for modern answers to the harder forms of EBM should try listening to Suicide Commando or Hocico, who drew more influence from the likes of Frontline Assembly and Skinny Puppy (as well as some aspects of Dive and The Klinik), who combined EBM with electro-industrial/dark electro elements, utilising heavily distorted vocals.
