Dear the QCs,

I ask every couple of years with mixed results but I would like to discuss synthpunk/cybergrind/bitpunk/post-hardcore whatever other stupid genre names this non-genre has.

Basically I'm talking about bands like Genghis Tron, Cutting Pink with Knives, Rolo Tomassi and Trencher who fuse electronica/IDM elements with hardcore and metal. This is basically my favourite genre ever but there's so little of it about and it's really hard to track down new music. Things like Last.fm recommend bands with very little in common like the Locust who have the occasional keyboard but don't really combine any true electronic elements.

So, lets talk about your favourite electromashup shiiiiiit.

Have you heard of Shining? They use synth and saxophones.

Also Fullmoon Bongzai, which basically sounds like Black Metal mixed with dance music.

Rizzo · « **Reply #2 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 22:50 »

I have both on my PC thanks to the STEAL-O-TRON thread.

JD · « **Reply #3 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 22:51 »

Well shit I got nothing then

Rizzo · « **Reply #4 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 23:08 »

Aiiiight, to simplify the process, here's what I've got so far!

An Albatross
The Berzerker
Cutting Pink With Knives
The Faint
Fullmoon Bongzai
Genghis Tron
Infidel?/Castro!
Melt Banana
Mindless Self Indulgence
Polysics
Rolo Tomassi
Trencher
A Trillion Barnacle Lapse
XO Skeletons
The 13th Unicorn

I can post and will post links later for any interested parties.

JD · « **Reply #5 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 23:30 »

Oh wait if you like Melt Banana you should try Boredoms

Lummer · « **Reply #6 on:** 19 Nov 2010, 05:06 »

How about Metal with ambient elements?

Also, I remember something about Dødheimsgaard having some electronic elements.

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #7 on:** 19 Nov 2010, 06:38 »

Shining are definitely fucking awesome. I've always thought of them as more blackjazzy though.

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #8 on:** 19 Nov 2010, 07:02 »

Neo Inferno 262

Supergroup made up of dudes from the French black metal scene. They use way too many samples, but are otherwise good

KharBevNor · « **Reply #9 on:** 19 Nov 2010, 09:43 »

You would probably like Curse of the Golden Vampire:

Curse of the Golden Vampire - Vermin

This is mostly Cyber/Industrial Black Metal stuff, less frantic and in-your-face maybe, but still might be of interest to you:

Aborym - Humechanics Virus
Acid Enema - The Next Plane of Existence (Speedcore Version)
...And Oceans - Debris
The Count Nosferatu Kommando - Political Police
G.U.T. - Transilvanian Hunger
Mezzerschmitt - Unter Der Fahne
Sturmgeist - Party Über Alles
Thee Maldoror Kollective - Xaos DNA Released
V:28 - As the Sky Opens

Also, Fear Factory are pretty gash, but I've always thought this ridiculous Gabber remix of Hunter Killer was pretty great:

Fear Factory - T-1000 (H-K)

It sounds like you might like Antitainment. I guess they are sort of glitchy post-hardcore, maybe....I have no fucking idea actually.

here's a song

Rizzo · « **Reply #11 on:** 21 Nov 2010, 03:26 »

Thanks all! Digging that antitainment track.

I managed to get a copy of Board Up The House by Genghis Tron on vinyl the other day so I'm pretty excited to listen to that properly. Currently also downloading the BUTH remix albums.

It disappoints me that there's so little of this sort of music about, I enjoy it so much. I guess sonically it caters to my love of hardcore/metal and industrial/electronica simultaneously.

ThePianoMan · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 Nov 2010, 09:43 »

Not metal, but Atari Teenage Riot do a great combination of hardcore punk and hardcore techno.

Rizzo · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 Nov 2010, 16:03 »

I have a few digital hardcore albums sitting around, ATR, Ec8or and Alec Empire. The lack of melody is one of the striking differences between digital hardcore and whatever this sort of stuff is called. DHR bands use electronics to make noise whereas most of the aforementioned use electronics to create new riffs and add to the melody.

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #14 on:** 21 Nov 2010, 22:36 »

I've been wondering recently if there are any bands doing like old-school thrash metal, but with just synths/Nintendo sounds and drum machines.

Rizzo · « **Reply #15 on:** 21 Nov 2010, 22:51 »

I have an album made by something awful called SA NES cover which is a series of covers done on the gameboy of famous songs. One of them is Slayer - Angel of Death.

EDIT: Here's a possible link to it; http://downloads.somethingawful.com/mp3/misc/NEScover.rar

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 Nov 2010, 10:04 »

so, that Antitainment band....I downloaded one of their cds from Wink Wink thread the other day and thought it was the most obnoxious, terrible thing I had heard in a while.

but now it's sort of growing on me. I wish it was instrumental though, then it would be perfect. The singer kind of annoys me still.

Der Golem · « **Reply #17 on:** 22 Nov 2010, 12:03 »

Diapsiquir? Not full out electronic, but they use a lot of samples, and some voice manipulation. And are good

That link didn't work, but there's a bunch on Youtube. Most of it isn't as good as I hoped it would be. This one is fun, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR13F8-hAWA

Vuk · « **Reply #19 on:** 25 Nov 2010, 08:09 »

I see nothing punk or metal about The Faint. Love Genghis Tron, though.

Rizzo · « **Reply #20 on:** 26 Nov 2010, 02:40 »

The Faint are more or less pop punk played with synthesizers which I think counts.

JD · « **Reply #21 on:** 26 Nov 2010, 16:33 »

Found something you might be interested in.

Gonin-Ish - s/t

Futari Asobi

JD · « **Reply #22 on:** 26 Nov 2010, 21:41 »

also a MSI side project

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #23 on:** 27 Nov 2010, 01:26 »

I'm gonna try to upload The Mean Reds' two cd's to the MF thread soon, slow internet willing

they are an awesome band that I think you would probably like

Rizzo · « **Reply #24 on:** 27 Nov 2010, 03:07 »

Awesome dudes, this is all good shit!

That left-rights video was probably one of the most fucked up I've ever seen. Awesome.

Enjoying Gonin Ish, this is rad as. I imagine Japan is rife with this sort of music but I don't really know where to search or even how!

Lummer · « **Reply #25 on:** 27 Nov 2010, 03:43 »

Would Anaal Nathrakh count?

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #26 on:** 28 Nov 2010, 12:20 »

Anaal counts no matter what genre we're talking about.

JD · « **Reply #27 on:** 30 Nov 2010, 20:17 »

Holy shit

Rizzo · « **Reply #28 on:** 04 Jul 2011, 05:23 »

I guess this is a good time to resurrect this topic! I've been listening to Gonin Ish and Drumcorps pretty heavily since last time.

Any other recommendations?

Tom · « **Reply #29 on:** 04 Jul 2011, 16:31 »

see an otologist

Lupercal · « **Reply #30 on:** 05 Jul 2011, 04:56 »

Rolo Tomassi are the shit. A great band, saw them supporting Biffy Clyro and was pretty much blown away at how good they were. Lead singer is also great. And hot.

... really? Like, double bill with britney Spears?

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #32 on:** 09 Jul 2011, 16:30 »

Hell yeah.

Lummer · « **Reply #33 on:** 10 Jul 2011, 23:56 »

Would Gigan count?

They sound weird in any case.

dancarter · « **Reply #34 on:** 10 Aug 2011, 20:59 »

Fratured's latest Beneath the Ashes would satisfy, I think. I's a mix of industrial, metal, EBM and dubstep.
