EBM Music- Find out the Vibrant Heritage

By Derick M. Manocchio


The story of EBM music is pretty interesting. This article will give you a small background of its early years.

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

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

Between the early and the mid 1990s, many EBM artists split up, or even changed their musical type, borrowing much more distorted industrial elements or perhaps elements of metal or rock. The album Tyranny For You by EBM pioneers Front 242 initiated the particular ending of the EBM epoch of the 1980s. Nitzer Ebb, one of the most significant artists, likewise became a commercial 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. In the same time period, numerous artists from the European techno scene started including a lot more elements of EBM in their sound. This tendency grew in parallel with the emerging electroclash scene as well as, as that scene started to decline, several artists associated with it, including the Green Velvet, Hacker, DJ Hell and Black Strobe, moved towards this techno/EBM crossover style. There's been raising convergence between this kind of scene as well as the old school EBM scene. Bands and artists have remixed one another. Particularly, Terence Fixmer joined with Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy to form Fixmer/McCarthy.
