On the more Industrial side I would listen to bands like KMFDM, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Wumpscut, Velvet Acid Christ, Razed in Black, etc. I'm not really into the more experimental sounding stuff done sometimes by Skinny Puppy or Download.
Yeah his voice (Pitchshifter) has never been terribly unique, I just prefer a bark or lower register than a sing song whine like on the later stuff. The lyrics are really pretty cool stuff though, Infotainment in some ways is a metal/industrial RATM record.
He, Bay Area metal! Those bands were around when I was in SF that puts you at about 35. Metal wise I go for the brutally hard or ridiculous.
Slayer, Gorgoroth, Meshugah, Nailbomb, Godflesh..... and again for industrial though I like some of the EBM stuff, I lean further into the experimental stuff, Coil, Laibach, Skinny Puppy/Download, Techno Animal, yelworC, Allied Vision, NON, Whitehouse etc. EBM wise- Velvet Acid Christ, Suicide Commando, Combchrist, Hocico, Android Lust, and Attrition.
On this line, Throbbing Gristle are doing a tiny reunion tour, couple dates in Chicago, LA, SF etc. I already got tickets for SF, pretty certain within the next five years they'll stop playing or one of them is going to kick, so this could easily be it. <--- talk about a band that changed the face of music!
