They sound like a mind-blowing combination of LIMBOGOTT, PLEYMO, KORN, SLIPKNOT, LINEA 77, and the catchiest moments of DEVILDRIVER! Amazon doesn't carry their first and best album from 2004, but you can download it from m-club.org. You'll find them listed under ##### on the site, which is the proper way to write their name. (Yes, just five number signs in a row. :)

Psychotic and energetic Japanese attack that sounds like a more poppy, rockin' version of UK spasm-metallers SIKTH. Super catchy and anthemic while still being heavy and intense as all get out. Schizophrenically satisfying in a way that reminds me of THE WILDHEARTS

Cutting-edge J-POP mixed with industrial-metal. The result sounds eerily like a heavy, intense version of TATU. Also check out the Japanese band M.O.V.E on iTunes (specifically their albums DECADANCE, DEEP CALM, and BOULDER), who sound very similar, albeit with even more of a focus on metal and with added male vocals along with the female. Also try HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR's album GO ON PROGRESSIVE

Some of the coolest Japanese industrial-metal you'll ever hear! Utterly unique!

One-of-a-kind Euro-metal with a goth-industrial edge and a sinister atmosphere. In turns beautiful and ferocious, the vocals are absolutely amazing.

These guys are their own utterly unique genre. They sound like a heavier, more industrial version of STOLEN BABIES with dueling male/female vocals and MIKE PATTON acting as creative director. There's another French group named AKPHAEZYA that sound really similar, almost like they're the same band and released two albums under different monikers. Check out their 2008 debut album ANTHOLOGY II

Ultra-sinister, uber-gothic industrial-metal deluxe! Really reminds me of a more overtly-industrial, female-fronted version of BELOVED ENEMY. Also for fans of HELALYN FLOWERS, the 2008 THEATRES DES VAMPIRES album ANIMA NOIR, and THEATRE OF TRAGEDY's albums MUSIQUE and especially ASSEMBLY

Crazy, turbo-charged industrial-power-metal that sounds like the soundtrack to some futuristic videogame.

Amazing German electro-metal for fans of RAMMSTEIN, EISBRECHER, STAUBKIND, SEELENZORN, and JOACHIM WITT. This is their first album getting proper American distribution, but you should also check out their excellent imported back catalogue at isotank.com

Freaky French cyber-rock that will get you dancing.

Sounds like NINA HAGEN fronting RAMMSTEIN

Finnish industrial black-metal for fans of ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLACKLODGE, and DIMMU BORGIR

Energetic German psycho-rock with an industrial edge.

German industrial nu-metal for fans of LINKIN PARK, KORN, THE DEFTONES, and PLEYMO

Dark French cyber-goth-fetish-metal for fans of RAMMSTEIN and THE KOVENANT

Industrial-power-metal-prog-weirdness for fans of DEVIN TOWNSEND and PAIN OF SALVATION

Russia's most popular (industrial) metal band! They're the east's answer to LINKIN PARK, complete with dueling male/female vocals. Their amazing new 2008 album TRINITY is better than this one, but for some reason amazon wouldn't let me put it on this list, even though they do carry it.

Ditto!

Crazy, diverse, and infectiously catchy multi-ethnic industrial-metal from Poland. KMFDM for the 21st century! (Either that or a heavy metal version of a M.I.A.'s album KALA.) This might actually be my number one favorite album of the entire year.

Awesome industrial-groove-metal from Sweden! For fans of LOK, RALLYPACK, MELTED, and MATAMACHETE
