This edited collection delves into the industrial music genre,
exploring the importance of music in (sub)cultural identity
formation, and the impact of technology on the production of music.
With its roots as early as the 1970s, industrial music emerged as a
harsh, transgressive, and radically charged genre. The soundscape
of the industrial is intense and powerful, adorned with taboo
images, and thematically concerned with authority and control.
Elemental to the genre is critical engagement with configurations
of the body and related power. Adopting an interdisciplinary
approach, this collection analyses the treatment of subjects like
the Body (animal, human, machine), Noise (rhythmic, harsh) and
Power (authority, institutions, law) in a variety of industrial
music's elements. Throughout the collection, these three subjects
are interrogated by examining lyrics, aesthetics, music videos,
song writing, performance and audience reception. The chapters have
been carefully selected to produce a diverse and intersectional
perspective, including work on Black industrial musicians and
Arabic and North African women's collaborations. Rather than
providing historical context, the contributors interpret the finer
elements of the aesthetics and discourses around physical bodies
and power as expressed in the genre, expanding the 'industrial'
boundary and broadening the focus beyond white European industrial
music.
