This has nothing to do with Tee Shirts, but it does have something to do with an awesome guy i know IRL. His name is Wilhelm Curse, member of Electric Hellfire Club, and touring member of Terrorfakt. He also DJs at a local industrial night in my city.
Currently he is the #1 ranked Industrial DJ on thedjlist. Of course we would like to keep it this way and keep his lead growing.
So, if you could, please vote! Keep your dance floor clear of VnV Nation, Cruxshadows, and horrible Tori Amos trance remixes. Support real industrial, (and real industrial DJs that would never wear a gas mask as a fashion accessory!) and please (if you can spare the 3 minutes to sign up) support my friend!
Right here plz!
I must note that the site's voting system can be a bit confusing. After entering the name of the DJ you wish to vote for, a drop down menu will appear. Personally i have accidentally voted for the wrong person about 5 times...so,uhm, don't be like me!
Also, it's a list of 10, but you do not have to fill out all of the spots...unless you're bored and just really want to.
Thanks to all that can help!

Not to my knowledge.
And i think the people who attend Mera Luna, Kinetik, Wave Gotik Treffen, Convergence, Triton, and Eccentrik (just to name a few off the top of my head) probably agree with me on that one.
not any time recently that i am aware of. He's pretty much based in Jax.
yes it did if you keep in mind how popular it used to be all all other forms of eltronic music were strictly found in dance club or pop music at the time with new wave allready dead. NIN was one of the biggest acts of the 90's, bands like minestry, stabbing westward, rammstine all got major radio play and i feel the the industrial club scene was way bigger then too
just because something is more mainstream doesn't mean it's automatically more popular, it was just accessible to everyone via MTV and other manner of airplay.
The 1990s were a flash in the pan, IMO for industrial. None of it was really interesting, and NIN's PHM in the late 1980s was FAR better than Downward Spiral. It was the darker side of the boy band/girl pop 1990s explosion. It doesn't mean it "died", it just means the media found something else they could make more money off of. Industrial has always, and will always be, a niche genre. No matter how many times it gets played on the radio or music video channel of choice, it alienates more people than not. I highly doubt most conversations regarding NIN in the 1990s were praising Trent's musical talent, but rather being SHOCKED! at the Closer video/lyrics. Same with Manson, same with Rammstein (OMG GUYS THEY SHOOT FLAMING ARROWS ON STAGE!). The 1990s pimped industrial, but anyone can pimp anything. Doesn't make it better.
Now, with the rise in technology, larger venues that cater specifically towards industrial festivals (as opposed to the 1990s when the majority of industrial was either at the woodstock festival or at Lolapalooza), and freedom for bands to make their own sounds (instead of being tied to the sound that makes the most money. Seriously, EVERY commercialized industrial band sounded exactly the same in the 1990s), i stand by my assertion that currently is a very good time for industrial. At least a more interesting time.
And i counter that point by saying that there are far more festivals now that cater only to industrial that get larger audiences than in the 90s. Thus, there are more people that go to shows/listen to it (especially overseas) and more bands playing it. Granted, the bands in the late 80s/90s pioneered the sound as it is today. But there are so many more bands in so many more genres of the "industrial" umbrella now than there were. In the 1990s everything sounded like NIN. Now, there are so many more styles to it that reach out to a broader audience that can span genre likes and dislikes, whereas before "industrial" meant one sound and one sound only.
Nachtmahr makes me happy inside!!! Noisuf-X is a bit too melodic for me. I tend to go towards powernoise and aggrotech if we're going to get all sub-genre with it. I do like all styles for various reasons, but i would much rather go out and dance to something angry (Suicide Commando, Hex Rx, the occasional Combichrist track that's not overplayed beyond all belief, etc).
I was speaking of those that were getting TV/radio play.
This is all I know about Combichrist:

Whatever fills a dance floor i guess.
