EBM Music- Find out the Full Heritage

By Isaiah G. Steinhouse


The history of EBM music is very intriguing. This information will give you a small background of its early years.

Canadian and American music groups including Front Line Assembly, Ministry, and Schnitt Acht started to use typical European EBM elements. They combined these elements with the roughness of American industrial rock, especially in the case of Revolting Cocks. Nine Inch Nails continued the cross-pollination between EBM and also industrial rock resulting in their album "Pretty Hate Machine" (1989).

At the same time, EBM became popular in the underground club scene, specifically in Europe. In this period the most important labels were the actual the German Zoth Ommog, North American Wax Trax, Belgian Play It Again Sam and Antler-Subway! and the Swedish Energy Rekords. Major artists involved And One, Armageddon Dildos, Bigod 20, The Neon Judgement, and Attrition.

Between the early and also the mid 1990s, numerous EBM artists separate, or perhaps changed their musical style, borrowing more distorted industrial elements or perhaps elements of rock or metal. The actual album Tyranny For You by EBM pioneers Front 242 started the particular ending of the EBM epoch of this 1980s. Nitzer Ebb, one of the most important artists, likewise became an industrial rock band. Without the strength of its figureheads, the actual original electronic body music faded from the mid-1990s.

Electro-industrial

In the late 1990s as well as after the millennium, Swedish and German groups including Tyske Ludder as well as Spetsnaz have made EBM music. Morever, several artists from the European techno scene began including a lot more elements of EBM within their sound. This tendency increased in parallel with all the emerging electroclash scene and, as that scene began to decline, numerous artists associated with it, such as The Hacker, DJ Hell, Green Velvet, and Black Strobe, moved towards this techno/EBM crossover type. There has been growing unity in between this kind of scene as well as the old school EBM scene. Bands and artists have remixed each other. Especially, Terence Fixmer joined with Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy to form Fixmer/McCarthy.
