What makes a song “industrial?” It’s a question we’ve often pondered this past week at Consequence throughout our ongoing celebration of the genre. Harsh and liberal use of distortion; the implementation of electronics and synths alongside rock instrumentation; a generally subversive and bleak world outlook… all viable identifiers for what we would consider industrial music.
To go a step further: What makes an industrial song truly great? When compiling our ranking of the Top 50 industrial tracks of all-time, we not only looked for the aforementioned sonic descriptors, but also took into account exterior factors, namely the song’s influence and legacy in the grand scheme of the genre.

Very well curated list! I will be dL-ing this list to my Amazon library. I have most already, but is is an awesome collection. Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad that Skinny Puppy’s Worlock was #6. I would have been shocked if it didn’t make the list.
@ren Good times, in the 90’s I used to hang out at a goth / industrial bar in Toronto. And when I’m lucky the same DJ spinning the same stuff does Twitch every once and a while.
The perfect excuse to revisit my industrial era.
Hey piggy. You may have abandoned Industrial but it hasn’t abandoned you.
