death industrial

what it is

Death Industrial is a music genre that can be described as having much of the same source sounds as power electronics, but used to create a deep atmospheric sound. It often features a more flowing rhythm and deeper, less abrasive sound than power electronics. The Grey Wolves are often credited for pioneering the style, but the term was first used to describe artists such as Brighter Death Now.
