FROM CAUSTIC:
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL
Thou shalt not wear fake blood on stage unless thy name is Ogre.
Thou shalt not covet another band's beats and vocals so much that you can't create anything original on your own.
Thou shalt not whine that nobody's at the club tonight when you never told anyone else and went with the same three catty, judgmental people who would make fun of any new faces that showed up anyway.
Thou shalt not scream that Faderhead is killing the scene when Faderhead isn't industrial to begin with, which he's always said. Thou shalt get over it if you aren't into it.
Thou shalt not have any other industrial gods than Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, Coil, Neubauten, pre-crappy Ministry, Front 242, Frontline Assembly, Nitzer Ebb, and Babyland. Okay, a few more, but not any of that boring, cliched stuff, especially the misogynistic shit.
Thou shalt not just dance to overly polished, four on the floor club tracks.
Thou shalt not think that industrial lyrics are just about robots, dystopian futures, consumerism, or WWII. Thou shalt have an open mind and appreciate different perspectives, because evolution is the only way for industrial to thrive.
Thou shalt not sample Full Metal Jacket any longer. Or Network. Or Blade Runner. Or any Hellraiser film. Thou shalt start watching less obvious mainstream movies for ideas.
Thou shalt not act like industrial music is an exclusive sausage party full of white pasty dudes. Thou shalt encourage everyone of every gender, race, and sexual orientation to create industrial.
Thou shalt not apologize or diminish your enthusiasm in front of others for loving industrial or making industrial music. Thou shalt have industrial pride...but never refer to it as that because that probably sounds pretty stupid said out loud.
Thou shalt not follow the rules or trends. Thou shalt set the standard. Thou shalt never follow.
Thanks-Stay DARK
